1. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

   caseofthemondays replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington

   I am very happy with the instructors and the program itself. Very solid overall. UW is ranked top in the nation and it shows. Everything in the learning labs is new and modern, the instructors are top in their field, and most importantly they want...

2. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

   caseofthemondays replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington

   Yes, I'm a current UW student. It's true, there's no GUARANTEE you will be scheduled for UWMC or Harborview for your clinicals, but they are included in the list of hospitals for clinicals. You just get assigned to a hospital for clinicals. UW stu...

3. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

   caseofthemondays replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington

   That is not true that UW doesn't schedule their nursing students for UWMC or Harborview for clinical experience. They do. With the BSN program, in particular, it's random where students end up going for their clinical, but those two medical centers...

4. How do you wear your hair for clinicals?

   caseofthemondays replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

   Get your hair cut or wear in a ponytail or bun. Seriously, you're going to be so tired each morning the last thing you will care about is how to do your hair each morning. And no one else will care either or notice.

5. Do whiners make it through nursing school?

   caseofthemondays replied to tuchipie's topic in General Students

   I can't believe the immaturity and laziness of some people in college. Nursing is no exception. It really drives me crazy. You would think some classes are full of 8th graders. Nurses are supposed to be professional and advocate for patients and ...

   caseofthemondays replied to terisinwa's topic in Washington

   The University of Washington in Seattle is #1 in the nation, but employers aren't as concerned with where you went to school. Just get the education.

   Hope you like LTC becuase that's all there is for LPNs around here. Starting wage around $15-16/hr with minimal and/or very expensive healthcare benefits. You'll like Seattle. It's a great city!

    caseofthemondays replied to oregonbeach's topic in Oregon

    Hate to break it to you...but a CNA is a CNA

11. LPN moving to Seattle need info / advice

    caseofthemondays replied to Grapenut's topic in Washington

    At the LTC I work at LPNs make around $19/hr. We do not offer a differential except night shift ($2.00/hr extra). Hospitals will hardly look at LPNs, I'm afraid. Especially a new grad.

12. Benefits of LPN over RN?

    caseofthemondays replied to typeR's topic in Washington

    J_Angel, Where are you planning on going to school? I would listen to your friends and others who say forget the LPN. LPNs are being fased out. Also, a lot of LPN to RN nursing programs are being fased out. An LPN is a dead end unless you don't ...
