I can't answer specifics, but If you're looking specifically in Vancouver, your options are Legacy Salmon Creek and Southwest Washington Medical Center.

Since job satisfaction seems to strongly correlate with financial solvency of a hospital in *most* cases (OHSU seemingly being an exception, they struggle, but the nurses I've talked to love it there, though it's not an easy place to work or an easy patient population to serve) I'd say try Legacy. The nurses there certainly seem happier and from the patient side, they're friendlier.... SWWA used to be great, but we had several nightmarish experiences there recently, though one was when I had swine flu.... perhaps I can't blame them for that one....
