  1. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

    dallet6 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Don't stress about it too much, fall quarter is still 3 months away. I didn't get my spring acceptance from the waitlist until 3 weeks before the quarter started. I'd give it till after the 4th...

  2. What do you wish you were told on the first day?

    dallet6 replied to AOx1's topic in General Students

    Tyler77, while your insights may seem useful, they aren't in any way answering the posters questions. As a matter of fact, the instructor telling her new students all of these things would not make...

  3. nursing job question

    dallet6 replied to seek4hope's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I was wondering, is it equally difficult to find a job regardless of what type of schedule you can accommodate? Is it still more or less impossible even if your willing to work on

  4. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

    dallet6 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yes, I'm currently in the program finishing up my first quarter. I have a friend that is starting with the fall group. Her orientation is June 22nd. They usually find out a lot of people change...

  5. Are grades in your school shared?

    dallet6 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    People in our program ask as well. I usually say the "I did ok" to anyone except my closest friends. However, there are always people that we are particularly curious as to how they do. In...

  6. How many questions on ATI Fundamentals Test

    dallet6 replied to labradors4's topic in General Students

    Yes, I know that a 63% wouldn't be passing. I couldn't possibly believe that after 3 weeks in the nursing program you could pass this with our 90% required. I don't really know how they make it so...

  7. Administration vs Interaction

    dallet6 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all! I'm a new nursing student and after a few weeks of learning, I'm curious about something. What percentage of time would you say you spend interacting with your actual clients vs. the amount...

  8. Are grades in your school shared?

    dallet6 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Ours are on Angel, so we also only see our grade and the class

  9. Expected Blood Pressure in older adults

    dallet6 replied to Rebewarr's topic in General Students

    Sounds high to me too. I'm just a first semester student, but we were taught that normal for older adult is 140/90. Was the patient already on

  10. How many questions on ATI Fundamentals Test

    dallet6 replied to labradors4's topic in General Students

    This test is nothing close to being a "fundamentals" test. In our program we are required to take just the practice fundamentals test in first quarter. We can retake it every 48 hours and have to...

  11. Pharmacology--where do I start?

    dallet6 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone. I'm a first quarter nursing student (3 weeks in). We have been told that next quarter can be the hardest in the whole program because of pharmacology. Also, it's summer quarter so only 8...

  13. Opinion needed-trads,non-trads and very non-trads

    dallet6 replied to 2blessings's topic in General Students

    How do you even get into the nursing program at age 18? The youngest girl in our class is around 20 (first quarter). She did the running start program that we have here in Washington state (high...

  14. ATI program

    dallet6 posted a topic in General Students

    My school uses the ATI program and I was wondering if many of your schools used this one? Anyone have experience with it and an opinion on its helpfullness/effectiveness? I'm only a week into...

  15. Accepted and terrified!

    dallet6 posted a topic in General Students

    I just found out on the phone today that I'm starting nursing school next month! I was number 10 on the waiting list. They sent out a letter with the info I need apparently so until it comes I'm kind...

  16. Accepted and terrified!

    dallet6 replied to dallet6's topic in General Students

    hehe...I got a list from someone else of a bunch of stuff I need. I guess the stethoscope is something that you can buy from the "nursing club" so maybe that's a good idea. So far I've made an appt...

  17. Accepted and terrified!

    dallet6 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just found out on the phone today that I'm starting nursing school next month! I was number 10 on the waiting list. They sent out a letter with the info I need apparently so until it comes I'm...

  18. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

    dallet6 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington Nursing

    I've been on the list since June '09. CNA's make around 10 an hour plus shift deferential. SCC is a strictly wait list program, no points. Whitworth downtown has the Intercollegiate school of...

  19. Waitlist Position number

    dallet6 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure every program is different and I don't expect anyone to know for sure, but what have you all found from your programs is the percent of people that turn down admitance to a program? For...

  20. Spokane Community College Waitlist???

    dallet6 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't think you take the teas test for scc. I'm currently number 10 on the waitlist there, so I won't get in spring quarter unless 10 people drop out. I took the class for my cna license in the...

  21. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    dallet6 replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed my written and skills on Nov. 7th! First time with both. What a relief! I was so shocked when I got my skills list. I got weight of ambulatory patient, fingernail care, position on side...

  22. Concerned mother..question about clinicals

    dallet6 replied to caltripp's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just wanted to add that you referred to the nurses a couple times. In your clinicals you shadow and work with other cna's. You don't work with the RNs or LPNs as following them would teach you...

  23. Help with cna skills test--have questions

    dallet6 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm hoping I could hear from others what their test was like for a few questions I have. I've been watching skills videos on youtube and practising everyday on my family. I have a couple questions...

  24. Radial pulse skills exam

    dallet6 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Anyone have to do the radial pulse on their skills exam? Do you inform the evaluator when you are starting the minute or do they start on their own for their own full minute. I'm concerned that just...

  25. applying for position before you finish?

    dallet6 replied to mrsRJ's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm sure it depends alot on your area. Here in Washington they hire students all the time to start work as soon as their program is over. Both facilities that we did clinicals at hired people from...
