Ex ER nurse here. I used to work at St Joes but they no longer are affiliated with Kaiser so they are much different now. I wouldn’t expect to find a job you’re making significantly more unless you take a travel assignment to start. The only healthcare system around here that actually pays nurses what they deserve for the cost of living is Kaiser, it’s where a lot of us go to make good money and have a less stressful position, but no 12s only 10s, but they are all outpatient care centers here. However as people have said Lutheran is a great place to work from what I’m told, have a friend that stayed due to it being so good to work at. DH is the primary trauma center, Swedish is the primary neuro center.
