   Ebostylin replied to 2bcurious's topic in Washington

   Poly & Daisy keep your heads up. I know it hurts getting rejected. I've been there. I was rejected by about 3 schools and had to apply to UW twice to get in and now I graduate this year. Y'all can do it.

4. Nurses, do you thank your CNA/PCA/Nursing Assistant daily?

   Ebostylin replied to gonzo1224's topic in General Nursing

8. Med/Surg or surgical or post-surgical?? What is the difference??

   Ebostylin replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

   surgical units are good to work in in my opinion! i'm about to grad from nursing school here in a few months, but have been working as an aide on a surgical unit for the past 3 years. i think it's still considered "med/surg" but at my hospital we did...

   Ebostylin replied to californiaRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, a 40 year old cougar. This was when I was a nurses aid and I was about 25 years old. Gave me her # and told me to call her. Sadly, I didn't, but I was very tempted!
