  1. Hiep, Thank you for your thoughtful response. I do hope to hear more in the future from UW about my application. I've sat and processed the whole situation and think that my post-bac status is the...
  2. Wow 2-4 post bacs? If I had known that in the first place I wouldn't have applied because probability of acceptance is so low. I looked into UW's MEPN program and was definately interested but it was...
  3. Well unfortunately I did not get accepted to UW. All is not completely lost, I'm still applying to two other schools. Honestly, it makes no sense why I was turned down because I met all their listed...
  4. It's stressful waiting for an email but myself and my family remain hopeful. Wow, emails were already sent out as early as last week? I spoke with the nursing office on Friday of last week and they...
  5. I am also in the applicant pool for Fall '07 BSN program. I'm anxious to see what I get in my email box by this Friday. There are a lucky few who will get acceptance emails! Good
  6. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    Amen to that! I have also been through a couple of career changes (teaching and social work) and nursing is my newest venture. Everyplace I have been there is always a learning curve, crummy people,...
  7. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    The market depends on where you live and where you are willing to work. I've been certified as a teacher in both IL and WA. I can attest that both of those states are pretty competitive in highly...
  8. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

  9. confused and need advice please

    You should really choose your career based on what you think you'll love doing, not on the hours. I would suggest interviewing teachers and nurses to try and find out which career is right for you....
  10. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    I agree with you 100%. I'm also a teacher (biology), though I've long had an interest in nursing. I've been teaching for less than two years and I'm already applying to an RN program. I like teaching...
  11. Washington seems like a pretty good state to practice in. I just shadowed a NP in independant practice for a day to see what the work enviroment was like. He worked with three other NP's in a family...
  12. Antimidwifery attitude.

    Well I can say that midwives seem to do pretty ok in Seattle area. The University of Washington Medical Center has a midwifery practice housed within it. As a matter of fact they have a job posting on...
  13. Getting CNAs to WEAR GLOVES & WASH HANDS?!?!

    I worked in a LTC (as a social worker, not a nurse) and that home had a fiercely enforced policy about gloves. The CNA was not allowed to don gloves until ready for patient care and had to take them...
  14. What exactly ARE the wrong reasons?

    Great post. It's so nice to see some of the "positives" listed for nursing! I'm going into nursing at the age of 31 after being a social worker and elementary school teacher. Guess I'm just cut out...
  15. Thanks for answering my questions. Unfortunately, for the most part, I've encountered two types of attitudes here in WA regarding MEPN programming. Those attitudes are admittantly opposed or polite...
