  1. Need help finding ACOG article "Vaginal Birth After Previous Cesarian Delivery"

    Bandaide replied to Bandaide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank You! The Guidelines Summary is very helpful. As difficult as this article/bulletin is to access, it seems like they don't want anyone but OBs to see

  2. Public Medical Education oppt.

    Bandaide replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    The U Washington ones are for the public (generally more advanced than regular patient education, and more random topics) and don't count for CEUs

  3. Public Medical Education oppt.

    Bandaide replied to xoemmylouox's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. University of Washington does the same thing. They also show it on their tv station, and you can watch them online as

  4. New graduate ADN Moving to Seattle in August from Texas

    Bandaide replied to MrLVNtoRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Don't count on getting a job right away. Half of the 2011 new grads from the program I attend now don't have jobs yet. There are around 25 nursing programs in Western Washington alone, so there is a...

  5. NO JOB!!!

    Bandaide replied to wastateneed2pass's topic in Washington Nursing

    There are 20+ nursing programs in Western Washington, each one graduating nurses who already live here and have a connection to the area. It's tough job hunting for everyone right now. Good

  6. what units of chemistry needed in nursing?

    Bandaide replied to poodloo28's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to take General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry as pre requisites, so you'll need your high school chemistry to help with those. Good

  7. How's the job outlook for new grads?

    Bandaide replied to SimplisticRnx's topic in Washington Nursing

    Since there are 20+ nursing programs in Western Washington alone, there is a lot of competition for new grad

  8. Help!

    Bandaide replied to 7ths1gn's topic in Washington Nursing

    Check your college library to see if they have the book. You may not be able to check it out, so you may have to study there. Good

  9. CHG vs Alcohol pad with blood cultures

    Bandaide replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in General Nursing

    As a phlebotomist, I was taught that the culture bottles were sterile under the lids, but once the lids were removed we needed to put an alcohol wipe on them to keep them from becoming contaminated....

  10. "We want a nurse who speaks CLEAR English"

    Bandaide replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital where I used to work offered free ESL and accent reduction classes to all employees. Employees could take paid time for the classes. One co-worker who took them made huge improvements in...

  11. Nursing liability insurance as an endorsement to your homeowner's policy?

    Bandaide replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    It was on our SF renewal here in Washington state as

  12. Opinions ? RN who reads at grade 5 level ?

    Bandaide replied to gilberra's topic in General Nursing

    So is she off the hook if she makes a med error due to a reading problem? Will the hospital protect her? - they did hire her knowing it was an issue. Will her co-workers resent having to read her...

    Bandaide replied to amusedgirl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Here are the requirements for Bellevue College: http://bellevuecollege.edu/health/nursing/requirements.asp Of course each college has slightly different requirements :icon_roll Bellevue doesn't have a...

  14. Is this professional?

    Bandaide replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Especially contaminated if she keeps touching them.

  15. clinical placements

    Bandaide replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    In my program you take what you are assigned. They try to get students into all the clinical sites, and never repeat a clinical instructor. It's always the same student who want to rearrange the...

  16. Older and back in nursing school...????

    Bandaide replied to kcrewfive's topic in General Students

    I started nursing school at 52 and will graduate at 55. My daughter is grown, graduated from college, and about to start grad school. I can concentrate on school, knowing that she and my husband are...

  17. accepted into the nursing program---now what

    Bandaide replied to nique281's topic in General Students

    Deep clean and organize your house, cook and freeze meals to get you through the first month of school and spend time with family and friends. If you decide to "study ahead", review your math skills...

  18. Valley Medical Center

    Bandaide replied to ceea44's topic in Washington Nursing

  19. Oncology nursing?

    Bandaide replied to genericoxygen's topic in Washington Nursing

    Bellevue is the largest city on the Eastside is pretty expensive. A bit further south is Renton, which is more affordable. The UW does have oncology with one full floor and often most of another. I...

  20. Im panicking =[

    Bandaide replied to vccorscc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yep, but I would say the first quarter is really stressfull. I'm in 3rd quarter now, and it seems so much more relaxed than the first, and even second quarter. Yes, I was scared spitless before I...

  21. Bellevue College 2011 hopefuls

    Bandaide replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    If I recall correctly, the student's marriage had just ended, and she did intend to work as a CNA (and later go to nursing school) so she may have gotten the funding because of her recently becoming a...

  22. Bellevue College 2011 hopefuls

    Bandaide replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    Cstatic, I'm sorry that you find my attempt to give students a heads-up offensive to you. The instructors do not favor students because of where they took their CNA course, they have expectations for...

  23. Bellevue College 2011 hopefuls

    Bandaide replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm sure than many of the students who took it elsewhere will make it through just fine, especially the ones who are already working in LTCs or hospitals. But be aware that you may be playing catch-up...

  24. Bellevue College 2011 hopefuls

    Bandaide replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    I can't remember if it was a full quarter or part of one, but I think it was late afternoon into evening. I think one of the differences was that we did clinicals in both a LTC facility and in the...

  25. Bellevue College 2011 hopefuls

    Bandaide replied to sltenbroeck's topic in Washington Nursing

    Another word of advice from someone in the program - many students in our class that took some of the shorter classes offered in the area felt that they were not as well prepared as those of us who...
