  1. Seattle U APNI - 2010 Entry

    klhmc729 replied to Abbie Grace's topic in Washington Nursing

    Nurseprac, I don't think they count it. My friend in the bsn program had a previous degree in veterinary and still had to take human anatomy and phys. You might just want to call and ask someone...

  2. Ridiculous, overbearing restrictions on volunteers

    klhmc729 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    "The point is, just because a task is out of someone's "scope of practice" doesn't always mean that they shouldn't be allowed to do it." No, that's exactly what it means. Let's consider the med pass...

  3. questions about burn units

    klhmc729 replied to sassysteph7's topic in Critical Care

    I volunteered in a BICU for a year a while back. I was not a nurse there, so keep that in mind with my answer :) I did see a 1:1 ratio, but it was mostly the ideal situation rather than the norm....

  4. What are you doing to get ready???

    klhmc729 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Hi! I start in September, and our book list just went online this week. I found great deals on half.com for my textbooks, and will probably glance over them (at least pathophys) before getting...

  5. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    klhmc729 replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hahaha- "even men in their 30s expect little or no hair down there." I am well aware - this is my peer group. :grn: Reference "D-bag culture" in above postings Seeing the recent population...

  6. pre-delivery "grooming" issue?

    klhmc729 replied to brillohead's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Argh - I'm a regular waxer, but if an OB ever said this to me, they could expect the Amazon rainforest of pubic hair to greet them. I can see shaving if there's going to be tape involved, but someone...

  7. Relocating to Knoxville area

    klhmc729 replied to Biggles25's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your move! The Knoxville area is my hometown. I have some friends who graduated from nursing school there (way before I decided to pursue nursing myself) and have worked for Covenant,...

  8. Study groups... To be or not to be?

    klhmc729 replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Students

    I have found that as long as the group is really selective in who gets invited (info moochers need not apply ), study groups go very well. In the one I was in for several of my prereq classes, there...

  9. CNA looking into Nursing, need some help.

    klhmc729 replied to Mom02895's topic in General Nursing

    The first thing I'd do is find out what nurses do! :) I promise it's a lot more than you think. One good way to do this is job-shadow. If there was an LPN or RN that you worked with in LTC, call the...

  10. The retro nurse's outfit has returned

    klhmc729 replied to cicatrixx15's topic in General Nursing

    Well put! Seriously? For patient satisfaction? As a patient going into a hospital, I'd be a lot more concerned about nosocomial infection, the procedure going well, being kept clean and reasonably...

  11. homeostasis is functionally wrong??

    klhmc729 replied to httamli's topic in General Students

    My A&P instructor did a lot of critical thinking/case studies/applied problems for us, too, and while it kind of sucks to have to spend an entire week stressing over a problem, it really does...

  12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    klhmc729 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    "No, I don't remember what I put for question 15 on the exam. I don't have photographic memory. Could you maybe give me a little hint as to the content of the question?" "Oh. My. God. Did you...

  13. your nursing decison

    klhmc729 replied to dark40's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just starting my BSN in the fall, but I've always felt called to work in healthcare. It sounds like a weird way to put it, since I'm not a very religious person, but I was always good at science,...

  14. Seattle U BSN

    klhmc729 replied to bina11's topic in Washington Nursing

    Oh man, then it really is late getting to me. I've tried checking at SU online, but it still says that my award information "isn't available online." Maybe that means there are just too many numbers...

  15. Seattle U BSN

    klhmc729 replied to bina11's topic in Washington Nursing

    J450n - when did you receive your financial aid award letter? I am still waiting to hear something from student financial services, and while I know I'm going to attend SU, it would be nice to know...

  16. Struggling (very long)

    klhmc729 replied to Penny82's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Oh, I understand where you are. I came home my first night of clinicals and the second I walked in the door I started sobbing to my husband about how bad it was. I couldn't really even say anything...

  17. Looking for a nursing program in Oregon or Washington state without a wait list...

    klhmc729 replied to angieee's topic in General Students

    If you do all your prereqs at Seattle University (usually means you're starting as a college freshman and do your prereqs along with your other core classes for your bachelor's), then you are...

  18. Got my acceptance letter - NOT excited

    klhmc729 replied to NYSstudent's topic in General Students

    Congrats on your acceptance! This will be a second bachelor's for me, so after changing fields, completing all my prerequisites, and not getting in on my first round of applications, I was on cloud 9...

  19. Have you taken A&P 1 and A&P 2 at the same time?

    klhmc729 replied to OnaTrek's topic in General Students

    A&P I is a prerequisite for A&P II at the school that I took them at, but looking back, I would not have wanted to take them at the same time. There's a ton of information in both, and unless...

  20. Seattle U BSN

    klhmc729 replied to bina11's topic in Washington Nursing

    I had a 3.9 in prereqs, completed my NAC, and had a previous B.A. in anthropology with a pretty high GPA. I had completed all the prereqs before I applied. I'm not sure what got me in the door here vs...

  21. Harborview or Swedish?

    klhmc729 replied to Icess64's topic in Washington Nursing

    I volunteered at Harborview for a couple years while I was working on my nursing prereqs and I loved it. I have no experience with Swedish, but I can say that I did not feel unsafe at Harborview at...

  22. UW BSN vs. SU BSN

    klhmc729 replied to sarahm24's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congrats! I will be in SU's BSN, and we just had a short orientation (barely skimming the surface) but they brought up that the curriculum had changed a bit and I think we will be doing Med-surg...

  23. I want to be a nurse but

    klhmc729 replied to jamienR's topic in General Nursing

    I just got accepted to a BSN program starting this fall, so I'm kind of in the same boat. I was elated (and I still am) that I got in, but now the reality of it is starting to set in and I'm starting...

  24. anthro & nursing

    klhmc729 replied to js0314's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Boo I clicked on this thinking it would be a fascinating topic, and one close to my heart since my undergraduate degree was in anthropology. Glad to hear I'm "slightly less retarded" than my...

  25. Seattle U BSN

    klhmc729 replied to bina11's topic in Washington Nursing

    Sorry Bina! Keep on applying and you'll make it. I know the letters without the good news stink. Keep your chin up and best of luck with the next
