1. Experienced Nurses, Care to Share Your Routine?

   Arafelle posted a topic in New Nurse

   Hello! I am starting my residency soon and saw this lovely comment on a Youtube video and wanted to see how other nurses start their day. I'm wondering how varied it is, as I'm aware every person establishes their own routine. For some reason, readin...

   Hi Meng Ling, Sorry for the late reply. I ended up going with Bellevue College at the time, so I can't speak to that program sadly. Good luck!

3. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   Haha, yeah. That would make sense. Verbal assault to me is not really assault. I worked in call centers and support jobs for years and had the worst things said to me. Those things you just have to brush off and not take it personally. ?

4. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   I want to add something to all of this. When I look at how you all are responding, I see something incredibly wholesome. You guys have pointed out that I might need therapy/counseling a few times and that I am having exaggerated fears. I think you ar...

5. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   Thank you for being so thoughtful. My earlier response was just me saying that after processing it, I think I could handle being in a potentially violent situation, even if I still fear it greatly. I feel like I was going through the grief stages, i...

6. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   Thank you, thank you, thank you. I needed to see that this experience in the video isn't universal. You did that for me. If that experience were indeed common, it would be valid to say that it changes everything for nursing. Most people wouldn't put ...

7. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   Thank you.. After writing this, I think the cathartic effect actually released something. I feel like I could handle it now. Maybe it was something I just needed to process and delayed it until this moment. It's tough to come to terms with things tha...

8. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle posted a topic in General Students

   I feel so, so stupid right now. The optimist in me said this entire time that I can handle an occasional bout of violence from a patient. But how would I even know that if I've never been assaulted in any way in my entire life? I am really upset at t...

9. Cascade Valley Hospital experiences?

   Arafelle posted a topic in Washington

   Has any one had any experience working at Cascade Valley Hospital in the Arlington area? How was it? How does it compare to other experiences you've had? Would you recommend for or against working there? How long ago was it? Thank you!

    Would everyone prefer to connect via Facebook and/or Discord (if you're familiar with it)?

    It worked for me too! Thank you for updating us! I'm excited to meet you all.

    Arafelle replied to ap93's topic in School Programs

    Yes, me too! I'm glad we aren't alone in this issue as well. It just means that it's them and not us, so it should be okay!

    Arafelle replied to ap93's topic in School Programs

    I haven't been able to pay. I emailed Jorja and Dianne. I am waiting for them to get back to me. I hope everyone else is emailing them too, so they know it's not just an isolated issue.

    Yep! They're blue. We'll have to buy special scrubs with the BC logo on them. They'll go over it on orientation day. I wouldn't buy anything until then if you ask me.
