  1. Getting the first job--what's most important?

    I have a BA (non-nursing) and finished my ADN last year. I'm glad I went that route. It was extremely cheap and provided an excellent education. I am now about to begin my masters to become a nurse practitioner. Also, now that I'm working part-ti...
  2. I have a GOAL...Senior Daycare

    I think it's a great idea and have considered it myself. It seems much more convenient than an adult family home where you would have staffing issues around the clock. I agree that you should not get involved with a partner. It's unnecessary and c...
  3. Anyone take the MAT lately?

    I'm in the same boat. Someone please respond and let us know what we're in for with this test!
  4. Gonzaga (WA) FNP Distance Program

    I'm looking at this program also. Did you find some info that you could pass along?
  5. Accelerated BSN in WA?

    I think it depends on the school. Both the University of Washington and Washington State University allow this option, but Pacific Lutheran University does not (at least not yet). The safest thing to do is check the website of the school you're loo...
  6. Accelerated BSN in WA?

    I'm not sure about the entry level masters at the UW, but the regular MN no longer requires the GRE. This requirement was just recently dropped. Have you thought about just getting an ADN at a community college? That's what I did. I have a BA in ...
  7. I just graduated with my RN in June and have been offered two jobs to choose between. The first job is on the med/renal floor of a busy hospital. I know I won't enjoy this job (full patient care with no CNA's), but I know I will learn a ton the fir...
  8. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    Is ICU the most lucrative specialty for travelling?
  9. Any bedside nurses making over 100K ?

    Almost makes me want to fly down to San Francisco from Seattle just to work the weekend shift. Someone could leave Friday and come home Monday. Has anyone ever considered it?
  10. Olympia: Capital vs. Providence?

    I'm a nursing student in Olympia so I've only seen it from the clinical perspective. I think they're both fine. CMC is smaller and at least from my experience in clinicals seemed a little slower than St. Petes. The good thing is that if you find y...
  11. How FAST/what route to RN if u already have other degrees?

    I have a B.A. and am in an ADN program. It took me 3 quarters to get my prerequisites (chem, A&P I & II, Micro, statistics, etc.) since a lot of the classes need to be taken consecutively and could not be taken at the same time. I just fini...
  12. nurses vs. dental hygenist salary

    My sister in law is a hygienist and makes $38/hour. There are some in the Seattle area that make $50/hour. She works 3 days a week and has full benefits. She also picks up extra hours for another dentist whenever she wants them. Hygienists are in...
  13. The Beautiful, Beautiful Pacific Northwest

    Corvette Guy: You're going to love it here. I live in Olympia and my kids are in the Tumwater school district. Do you have a place to live yet? Do you have kids? I'm in nursing school right now.
  14. Hello and thanks for the reply. The respiratory therapist is performing the treatment. I need to know what the nurse would need to do before, during and after the procedure.
  15. I'm hoping someone can help me with the following: State the responsibility of the nurse before, during, and after the administration of respiratory therapy. Thanks so much!
