  1. 2nd degree students at Seattle U or UW

    j450n posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    As of right now, I think I want to go to SU over UW because I like the social justice themes and community emphasis of their program, but it is terribly expensive. I know 2nd degree students don't get...

  2. Pre-Nursing students what has been

    j450n replied to anon321d's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Luckily, I don't think my program will require me to take organic chemistry...otherwise, that would probably be my hardest. Microbiology seems to be the toughest now. Some parts are interesting, but I...

  3. Anyone in North Seattle Community College LPN-RN

    j450n replied to doraemon1983's topic in Washington Nursing

    I heard that if you're in good standing after the 2nd quarter of the LPN program, then you're allowed to progress straight away into the RN program. It's probably indicative that we may see a full ADN...

  4. Hey PreReq-ers, how is Fall Semester going so far?

    j450n replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not too bad...all things considered. Also, finishing up my last quarter of prerequisites. I'm taking micro and actually am somewhat enjoying it. Our first exam was last week and I honestly felt a...

  5. NEED HELP- Trying to apply for Nursing school

    j450n replied to JasminR's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It wasn't until my fourth and last year of undergrad that I decided I wanted to apply to nursing school. I just went ahead and graduated from my university and decided to take my prereqs at my local...

  6. Were you CPR certified before you applied?

    j450n replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would get it anyway, just to make your application more competitive. I took CPR/AED training for the Professional Healthcare Provider through the American Red Cross. It covered infants, children,...

  7. Need Advice: Stay as a float or move to a home unit?

    j450n replied to j450n's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks guys. I think I'm going to try and balance out both. I'll probably accept the new position and decrease my hours on the float pool so that I can still work it. Many thanks to the both of

  8. Need Advice: Stay as a float or move to a home unit?

    j450n posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hey guys, I've been a float CNA in a local hospital for awhile now and I absolutely love it. I love going around and meeting nurses and doctors and love being able to watch various procedures from all...

  9. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    j450n replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    Try this: http://asisvcs.com/publications/pdf/069912.pdf I'm not sure where you can get a book. Have you tried searching amazon? I'm sure they have some books there. I'm confused how you can sit for...

  10. Which School do you recomend?

    j450n replied to AshleyAlice2010's topic in Washington Nursing

    Shoreline, indeed, has a great reputation and is known to be very rigorous. I've heard they're tougher on their nurses than UW's program. North Seattle is definitely a great place for prereqs as well....

  11. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    j450n replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    If I remember correctly, the pamphlet has some sample written questions. I took my CNA course at the Shoreline Nursing Assistant Training Institute. A textbook was provided to us that was written by...

  12. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    j450n replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thank you, I forgot to mention that hand washing is definitely one of them. Make sure you scrub your hands on all surfaces for at least 15 seconds, dry your hands thoroughly, turn off the facet with a...

  13. Tips on passing CNA Test! please...

    j450n replied to martheena08's topic in Washington Nursing

    When I took it, I think there were 15 skills that we had to know. It's not so much that you do each skill in the correct order, but make sure you always do the steps that are bolded outlined in the...

  14. WSU BSN program

    j450n posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    I've noticed there are very little threads about WSU's program, yet they accept more BSN candidates than other school in Washington (I think around 200). Does anyone have any insight or experiences to...

  15. Pre-Nursing Students: Enter here for a second to scream and let it out.

    j450n replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um...if I never have to look into another bright-light compound microscope again after this quarter, then my life will be

  16. Anyone else finishing prereqs and getting ready to apply?

    j450n replied to j450n's topic in Washington Nursing

    I did some at Everett, but then I was in Seattle most of the summer, so I did an intensive summer quarter of A&P1 and A&P2 at North Seattle. In the fall, I am finishing micro at North Seattle...

  17. Too many people trying to get an ABSN?

    j450n replied to espo44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think most people may opt for cheaper alternatives than a ABSN, such as an ADN or a traditional BSN given the state of the economy. It seems like most people will...

  18. what nursing school do/did you attend?

    j450n replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Applying to the University of Washington and Seattle University this next application period. Been accepted to Drexel ABSN so far, but have it differed for now. I also have a couple ADN programs in...

  19. Keeping CNA license current in WA

    j450n replied to nohika's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congratulations on passing! I think all you do is just keep sending in your renewal fee every year. I'm pretty sure the department of health sends you a notice in the mail to send your annual renewal...

  20. How to Pay for 2nd Degree?!?!

    j450n replied to jmh02s's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same predicament as well. There's three programs that I plan to apply to...one is a well-respected ADN program that is super cost-efficient, but I really want a BSN. The other program I...

  21. Trying to decide between different schools...

    j450n replied to nohika's topic in Washington Nursing

    I've heard Seattle U is very generous with financial aid. Some nurses that I've spoken to that went there said it cost them just as much as if they had gone to UW because they were able to get a lot...

  22. Which Prereq is Harder: A&P or Microbiology or Chem?

    j450n replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is the bane of my

  23. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

    j450n replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington Nursing

    I see, I wasn't aware that WSU had an on-site program as

  24. Accelerated vs. Traditional BSN - what should i do?

    j450n replied to ryantherunner's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sort of facing the same dilemma. For me, it came down to location too. My area has only one accelerated program, and they're about to admit their very first class. It's about twice as much as the...

  25. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

    j450n replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington Nursing

    WSU's RN-BSN program is an online program, so unless you really want to move to Spokane...you really wouldn't have to. I think if you had clinicals, they would work with you to schedule it near your...
