I'm surprised that this year I haven't seen any threads about people applying to UW's program. What's going on? Where are all the 2012 hopefuls? Reveal yourselves
Good luck to everyone!

I got an email from Anh Shafer about this.
Are you starting the Summer or Fall??
If you start the Fall... "I have not set up the HIPAA account for you yet since you will be starting in autumn. I will send out an email when that happens."
Pretty much all of my other compliance **** is done minus the background check, the HIPAA, and the form that you submit once the background check is done...
I am so ready for a summer off....

I'm starting in the Fall so I know I don't need everything done, but I would like it to be! The only message I got was one saying she would send out further information but that was last month. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss the email. HIPAA and the background check is all I have to do as well, oh, and buy the uniforms!

On the topic of uniforms, I thought I'd mention something. As a graduation gift my roommate picked me up a set of scrubs from UW's South Campus Bookstore (behind the Health Science Building). The pants (size M) were ridiculously large but I figured I'd mention that the ones sold by UW are Landau brand, color "RPP" (Grape).

Scrubs are funny like that... The larges at work are too small, the XL are Hammer Pants.... Hammer Time!!!
Ugghhh, the purple scrubs... Guess it beats the Salmon colored ones I used to wear as a volunteer.... I would gladly rock the Salmon colored if I was working at the R. Adams Cowley Center though.... You have to check those out everyday you work, and then turn them back in at the end of the day. Its a sign of prestige in Baltimore.
Now that we are getting closer and hopefully to better weather, its time to think about the BSN BBQ meet-up. I was thinking about emailing Dora Wang and having her post it in the New BSN e-mail list that we are all on.
I was thinking mid-July-ish... Something that can handle a larger group such as Golden Garden or even Woodland Park. Woodland Park is spacious, usually has alot of room and doesnt get all crazy like the other places... I do love a good beach BBQ though....
I'm going to be traveling July 5 -Aug 7 so I wouldn't be able to make it to a BBQ in mid July. But, if that work for the majority of people have fun!
I'm not on vacation until August so July works for me. If not everyone makes it to the BBQ, I'm sure we can plan another get together....maybe closer to the start of the program as a sort of last chance at freedom before hitting the books.

During summer orientation this week we were told (I guess prior to fall qtr starting) there will be a bbq hosted by one of the student nurses organizations for us new BSNs so that we all can meet. I'm looking forward to meeting the rest of you!

Hey all, I went to the orientation for summer students and was told there will be a BBQ made for us closer to Fall quarter. We were told that a GOOGLE GROUP would be very helpful for us to exchange info, studyguides, questions, and comments. I have made one called: UW BSN 2012. Please send a request so that I could add you into the forum:)
Hey Kasko I will message you with my info to get into the group. Also, I think I met you during orientation! See you tomorrow!
