3. I put the blinders on and am regretting it

   Arafelle replied to Arafelle's topic in General Students

   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...

   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...

   Arafelle posted a topic in Washington Nursing

   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...

    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

    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
