  1. Questions about OR fellowship?

    Lusashi replied to eah8y4's topic in Operating Room

    Yes, I've noticed people like to say a lot of things about the OR. Knowing what I know now, I would never trust someone's opinion who does not work in the OR. Yes, surgeons can be ***. So can...

  2. Should I take the HCA Bonus??

    Lusashi replied to TryingtoTravel's topic in Operating Room

    I did not sign a contract as a new grad/OR resident, but I also was not offered a bonus. I felt pretty strongly about not signing a contract, for the same concerns you brought up. I think 10k is...

  3. Questions about OR fellowship?

    Lusashi replied to eah8y4's topic in Operating Room

    I am a year into my OR nursing career. I did the same as you and studied Alexander's for several months before I started my residency. I felt like it really helped my foundations and made things less...

  4. Pfizer Approved by FDA

    Lusashi replied to JadedCPN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Plot twist, now the CDC’s vaccine committee has broken with the FDA and voted against providing boosters for healthcare workers and others at high risk from their jobs because “We may as well...

  5. How do I stop being so emotional as a new nurse?

    Lusashi replied to ModeratelyObscure's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My two cents is that this is not a bad thing, unless it interferes with your critical thinking and/or ability to provide safe care. Your heart is open enough to bear witness to the beauty and pain of...

  6. Second Thoughts on Becoming a Nurse

    Lusashi replied to ThePrudentStudent's topic in General Nursing

    I am a new grad (not a crusty old cob ?) and I have to say I am in agreement with the comments advising the OP against nursing. Nursing is my third career, and I entered an ABSN after earning a...

  7. Lefthanded in the OR??

    Lusashi posted a topic in Operating Room

    Hi all, I am graduating with my BSN in August and would love to start in the OR right after school. I am left-handed. Does anyone have any feedback about dexterity problems in the OR for...

  8. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi there. They make the waitlist pretty long (60+?), just in case. I am in the program now and my original position on the waitlist was #14. I wasn't notified of my acceptance until late June. I know...

  9. Lefthanded in the OR??

    Lusashi replied to Lusashi's topic in Operating Room

    Thank you both so much for these comments! I might have to make some adjustments, but it shouldn't stop me from pursuing a career in this setting. Very

    Last year decisions came out Dec 14th. So sorry for the wait. I know it’s

  11. 2021 UW-Seattle ABSN

    Lusashi replied to sjaneb88's topic in School, College Programs

    Hmm, that’s odd. I can’t send PMs to you either, not sure if that’s because of my account or yours. But I’m happy to talk all about that stuff. Go ahead and use my school email [email protected]...

  12. 2021 UW-Seattle ABSN

    Lusashi replied to sjaneb88's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi all, I’m in the current ABSN cohort. Hope you are all hanging in. It’s been a challenging quarter so far, but still not as bad as WAITING to hear back about acceptance!! I waited eight...

  13. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    Not everyone in our cohort has a baccalaureate degree related to healthcare. I'm pretty sure we had a requirement to demonstrate 100 hours of recent healthcare experience (e.g. CNA), but that doesn't...

  14. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    You will need to answer some questions about a patient scenario. Tough to prepare for this, but I would recommend keeping ideas about cultural humility, interprofessional collaboration, and holistic...

  15. UW BSN 2020

    Lusashi posted a topic in School, College Programs

    I am hoping to start a thread for University of Washington’s BSN program for Fall 2020. Is anyone else applying to the traditional BSN after being rejected or waitlisted for the ABSN? What are your...

  16. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    I got accepted off the waitlist today! Yay! That means the waitlist has moved at least 2 spots in the past week. For reference, I started as #14. Can’t wait to meet you

  17. UW BSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Lusashi's topic in School, College Programs

    Today I was accepted into the ABSN! I will be giving up my spot in the BSN. I hope this makes someone on the waitlist very happy! Good luck everyone and don’t give up

    OK. Not the most awesome news but better than radio silence. Thanks for the

  19. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    Has anyone heard from UW in any capacity? I have an important question about pre-reqs and I have not been able to get through by email or phone for several days. The phone doesn’t even ring, just...

  20. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    Yep! I am in the BSN cohort (no complaints there) but would prefer the ABSN. I’m out of state so ABSN = less time and less money. I’ve been 3rd on the waitlist for two months!

  21. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    I second this thought. I’m antsy to get an update. Thought we might hear something by

    Lusashi replied to Lusashi's topic in School, College Programs

    WOW!, guess I spoke too soon. I have been accepted into the BSN. So many happy tears

  23. UW BSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Lusashi's topic in School, College Programs

    Early this morning I had this dream that we were all waiting in a room at UW, and every so often someone would pop their head in and say “Just a little longer! We’re almost ready!” But the...

  24. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    So.. everyone okay out there? Any idea as to whether the admissions timeline has changed? It’s been quiet on this thread. My heart goes out to all those affected by COVID-19. Hoping for positive...

  25. University of Washington (UW) - ABSN 2020

    Lusashi replied to Ann Briones's topic in School, College Programs

    I was able to make a MyUW account and get to the page where I have tabs like Home/Accounts/Profile, but I also don’t see a place to check my application status. It did warn us in the email that it...
