  1. Bremerton, WA??

    pacifica replied to trvlngstethoscp's topic in Travel

    There is a housing stipend that is rolled into my weekly takehome pay but the company does not provide housing, per se. I live in Portland (3 hrs south). The weekly take home (taxed and non-taxed) is...

  2. Bremerton, WA??

    pacifica replied to trvlngstethoscp's topic in Travel

    Hi Nancy, I'm just getting started with travel nursing and one place my recruiter mentioned is the hospital in Bremerton! I'd love to hear about what you think. Are you working with FlexCare by any...

  3. Online advanced Patho or Pharmacology courses?

    pacifica posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hello all, I am thinking of taking a graduate-level pharmacology or advanced pathophysiology course this summer in preparation for applying to CRNA school in the future. I've looked through the...

  4. Clark College Nursing Program?

    pacifica posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi, I live in Portland but in January I am starting the RN program at Clark College in Vancouver. Are there are any former, current, or future Clark students here? I'd love to get some insight into...

  5. Online Advanced Patho and Biochem classes?

    pacifica posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    In the spirit of another thread asking about online Organic Chemistry classes, does anyone know of any online Biochem or Graduate-level advanced pathophysiology classes? I'm planning to apply to CRNA...

  6. I quit my job and am seriously considering quitting nursing

    pacifica replied to sandlewood_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you do seem a little upset. I can almost see the spittle covering your keyboard and monitor. My axiom is don't take anything personally in the clinical setting, just try to learn what you can...

  7. How to get a good recommendation letter...

    pacifica posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey all, I've been reading through the threads on GPA, GRE scores, CCRN, ICU experience etc. I feel like I have a good handle on all those aspects of the CRNA school application and will be...

  8. Visiting WA to see if I want to move there.. Advice needed!

    pacifica replied to nursedani08's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yes, and we all have to pay down the road when our environment is damaged and our landfills are overflowing with plastic bags and other wasteful, one-time use items. It's not politics to tax...

  9. Online Advanced Patho and Biochem classes?

    pacifica replied to pacifica's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    thanks to all. I will investigate the UAB class, sounds like exactly what I'm looking

  10. Online Advanced Patho and Biochem classes?

    pacifica replied to pacifica's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thanks so much! I would definitely like to take a local online course (I live in the Portland, OR/Vancouver, WA area). I'm not so much looking for a transfer course but rather a difficult grad level...

    thanks for the tip,

  12. Online Advanced Patho and Biochem classes?

    pacifica replied to pacifica's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Thank you for the info. I looked at their website and I believe the UAB advanced patho (NA 670) is only for students already enrolled in the nurse anesthesia program. I'm looking for something I can...

  13. Snapped at a nurse student last night, she had a bad case of Nursitis

    pacifica replied to Tony1790's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm really sorry that happened to you, Tony. I know some fellow nursing students who have the attitude that they "didn't go to nursing school to wipe butts!" That attitude is very selfish and...

  14. How do I stand out above the crowd?

  15. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    pacifica replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU, SICU

    Well, I read it differently. A matter of different perceptions, although it was my post that was quoted so I felt it was a slam on me. I just don't think it is helpful to be dismissive of the things...

  16. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    pacifica replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU, SICU

    Oh and I would think that displaying motivation and eagerness to learn would also be valued traits in an aspiring ICU nurse, along with all those other nice qualities you mentioned. But what do I...

  17. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    pacifica replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU, SICU

    (I didn't really mean to thank your post, because I thought you were a little condescending toward my post about the things I'm trying to do to be more attractive as a new grad hoping to get into the...

  18. How do I stand out above the crowd?

    pacifica replied to JettaDP's topic in MICU, SICU

    I am graduating in December with an ADN and, like you, I hope to go straight to ICU. I'm doing some extra things to try to make myself a better candidate. I'm doing my 6th quarter preceptorship in an...

  19. "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    pacifica replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in General Nursing

    I accidentally clicked "thanks" on this comment and I wish I could undo it. I certainly do not think your response is helpful AT ALL. The poster took the time to write a thoughtful answer, if you do...

  20. Gloving up?!?

    pacifica replied to scrubs2716's topic in General Nursing

    That doesn't make much sense though, because unless you are using sterile gloves the gloves are just as dirty as your hands. Potentially dirtier actually, because presumably you would wash your hands...

  21. Should I start my BSN or wait for RN-MSN?

    pacifica posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. First, let me say that I visit All Nurses every day and I have found this board to be an amazing resource for information about nursing and all the joys, sorrows, problems, decisions, and...

  22. New to Wilmington...dont know anyone!!

    pacifica replied to DanisTeeta's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Hey there, Just wanted to say hi and tell you how jealous I am. I grew up in Cary, N.C. but we moved to Oregon when I was 13. About 10 years ago, when my husband was in the military, I lived in...

  23. Podcast lectures

    pacifica replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I just recently discovered the educational podcasts on ITunes. I downloaded a whole bunch of A&P, cardiac medicine, Critical care/Emergency medicine, etc. I haven't had a chance to listen to...

  24. Rounding up grades

    pacifica replied to kakalika's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I meant 87%-89% is a B+, which is a 3.3. Percentages and grade points go down from there so 3.0 = B. There are no minuses, e.g. A- or B- Our syllabus simply had "90% or above = A" but did not...

  25. Rounding up grades

    pacifica replied to kakalika's topic in General Students

    I found out recently that, luckily, my school rounds up. I had an 89.87 average last quarter and they rounded it to a 90, which is a 4.0/A. I would've been really sad if they didn't round because the...
