1. HELP: In Need of a Nice Tote/Bag for Clinicals

   Traveler5 replied to FayLynn87's topic in Student Assist

   I bought a 'business' style tote and it's ok. I liked that there were dividers in it but I now hate that the middle divider is a pocket. I want to keep some things zipped up, but it ends up bulging and makes it so other items are difficult to fit in ...

2. CNA/Tech Experience for UWOSH

   Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in Wisconsin

   If the rest of your application is strong I don't think it would be a breaking point. They accept a large variety of back grounds. The only thing about the adult care is that it would make clinicals easier for you.

3. Tell me of Eau Claire

   Traveler5 replied to William2's topic in Wisconsin

   I love Eau Claire. There is a lot to do. Check out Volume one online. It's an online magazine and let's you know everything that is happening in town. Don't forget it is only a short drive to the twin cities as well! And yes, it is a very affordable...

4. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in Wisconsin

   It's kind of cool they are letting in wait list people for the next term. I'm sure it's easier for them, and less annoying for those who got in because you don't need to reapply! They are still planning on a February cohort starting next year as well...

5. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in Wisconsin

   Congrats to everyone who got in! And if you got waitlisted, don't give up hope! People can and do chose to go to other schools so it's not impossible. And if you didn't get in remember you can always reapply! They are starting a 3rd cohort (February ...

6. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in Wisconsin

   Be yourself. If you are being interviewed it means you are paper qualified so don't worry about that anymore. Think of it as a conversation, not an interview.

7. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in Wisconsin

   This was me. Yes, the capstone is 9/26 to 10/7 for my cohort. Sorry about that. As for wanting a schedule, you should get a tentative schedule when you are offered admission so that you know the dates you are committing to. Did not read through this...

8. UW-Oshkosh Accelerated BSN - May 2015 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to PacificRim's topic in Wisconsin

   I am. I start my 3rd class tomorrow! I'm not positive what my overall transfer GPA was but I only had 1 B in my pre-req courses. I didn't have a ton of CNA experience at the time of my application but I have other healthcare experience (I was an opt...

9. UW-Oshkosh Accelerated BSN - May 2015 Cohort

   Traveler5 replied to PacificRim's topic in Wisconsin

   Good luck guys! I can't even explain the excitement I felt when I got my acceptance. I sympathize with you all now on applying, it's a lot to get done! I'm happy they took out the recommendation requirement, it's difficult for adults in a way. 1) you...

10. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This is a part of why I decided to go into this field vs other healthcare field.

11. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Plus both are forms of public service and you have common experiences to bond over.

12. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Never heard that stereotype. Not my experience at all. And I was friends with several people in the police field before dating one working in the field.

13. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My SO is a deputy sheriff. Was not pursuing nursing when we met but I am now. I know several cups married to nurses or CNAs...

14. New to night shift

    Traveler5 replied to USMCRN2015's topic in Stress 101

    I sleep more on night shift that on days. I keep the same sleeping schedule all the time though. I really hate switching back and forth. It just kills my mood and I'm in a fog the days i try and stay awake. I used to sleep 7hr a night naturally. Now ...

15. Best Shoe Brand for Wide Feet

    Traveler5 replied to Traveler5's topic in General Students

    Good shoes are totally worth the money. The replaceable insole seems like a nice feature. I will definitely try some on. Lucky for me I live near a huge shoe store that stocks them (per the brand's website). Thanks for the suggestion!
