   smiggles2000 replied to CarolinaGirl84's topic in NCLEX

   smiggles2000 replied to 123jeannie's topic in NCLEX

   Are you saying you ran out of time at question #158, as in you did 158 questions in 6 hours, or the test stopped at question #158?

4. Sutter Health New Grad program unpaid.

   smiggles2000 replied to Breezy Girl's topic in New Nurse

   This topic really should be in an area where there are more frequent visitors that will see it. This potentially could have an impact on the way hospitals start treating new graduates in the future.

5. Medprep reviews?

   smiggles2000 replied to Catlynn09's topic in Washington

   i paid with my own money, no place reimbursed me, heck, I couldnt even find a job as a nursing assistant at first. Not everyone is lucky enough to find a facility to pay for their classes.. especially these days!

6. Help I have to retake Microbiology!!

   w-t-f, don't be lazy, just apply everywhere to increase your chances. i got into UW with 4 W's on my transcript, granted, they were all in the beginning when I first started college, but I still had them! obviously having W's on your transcripts i...

7. shoreline cc better than UW??

   smiggles2000 replied to sunnysteph87's topic in Washington

   Well by no means did I mean not to get your ADN if that meant having to wait a year or two to get into a BSN program. Of course you should go get your ADN if that is the only option possible, but if you have the option of attending either a BSN or A...

8. shoreline cc better than UW??

   smiggles2000 replied to sunnysteph87's topic in Washington

   Uhhhh I don't know where you heard that! You should see the reaction of people when you tell them that you go to nursing school at UW. People are so impressed when hearing it, even at the hospital I had a nurse tech job at. It's always better to h...

9. How's the job market for new graduate in Washington Area?

   smiggles2000 replied to mitcornsus's topic in Washington

   It's dang near impossible finding work as a new graduate in the Seattle area. If you are one of the handful that did, consider yourself extremely blessed.

10. University of Washington

    smiggles2000 replied to twinkletoes12's topic in Washington

    Well most sites don't even require insurance. I went through the entire program without any health insurance until my last quarter at Swedish Hospital which required it. I purchased the health insurance through the UW (I think that's the SHIP you'r...

11. University of Washington

    smiggles2000 replied to twinkletoes12's topic in Washington

    I'd definitely recommend summer courses if I were you guys.. my god that first quarter, actually the first several quarters, are TOUGH! A friend of mine in the program took classes in the summer and I was so jealous that he got to leave earlier than ...

12. Everett CC versus Skagit Valley CC - anyone have opinions?

    smiggles2000 replied to alicetinker's topic in Washington

    DO NOT GO TO SKAGIT. I know of several people there who despise their program. Some of the class room instructors are pricks, it's almost like they want you to fail. A few quarters back there was a huge issue about some of the instructors and they...

13. Please help I really need advice don't judge please

    smiggles2000 replied to NichelleNurse2b's topic in Washington

    This is what I love about UW. The faculty and staff are very understanding and aren't looking for students to kick out of the program like some of the other programs seem to like doing. The faculty are very supportive and will try to help you as mu...

14. Please help I really need advice don't judge please

    smiggles2000 replied to NichelleNurse2b's topic in Washington

    I dunno about this! I would put the first two quarters of UWs nursing program against any other program when comparing difficulty. Possibly the worst 6 months of my life? lol. After that though it wasn't bad at all.
