  1. Anyone attending Skagit Valley CC?

    j450n replied to morningstarRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Has anyone heard of the updated admission requirements? I have been checking the website frequently, but I keep getting a page that says updated information will be available at the end of February...

  2. Cna

    j450n replied to RezqNinja's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you can spare the time, you might try volunteering at a hospital and establishing a good rapport with some nurses on a specific unit. That may help expedite the process of getting that coveted...

  3. Out-of-state, looking at schools

    j450n replied to jells425's topic in Washington Nursing

    I agree. I know UW doesn't always look at just grades, but it is defnitely competitive. It has been ranked the #1 nursing school in the country for several years now. Seattle U has a good program and...

  4. Cna

    j450n replied to RezqNinja's topic in Washington Nursing

    Overall, it was a good experience and the program does a good job in getting you your CNA license. There were a couple of the instructors that I felt were preaching bedside manner, yet failed to...

  5. Public Health/Community Nursing volunteer work?

    j450n posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to be exposed to the community health aspect of nursing, as I am interested in applying for Seattle U's APNI Leadership and Community Nursing program. I...

  6. BellevueCC older student

    j450n replied to ch123's topic in Washington Nursing

    Sorry to hear, rkk1. Keep your head up. Have you spoken to a nursing advisor to see what the next steps

  7. Thomas Jefferson FACT Program

    j450n replied to jello18966's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Has anyone received acceptance with a 3.0 GPA from undergrad? My bachelor's degree is right at a 3.0 cumulative GPA, which I know is the minimum. However, I think my last 60 credits may have been...

  8. nlex-rn review course

    j450n replied to seattlemabel's topic in Washington Nursing

    Only one that I know of is up north in Everett, so I don't know if that will help you out at all. Here's the course info from EvCC. It's 2.5 credits, and it's from 9AM-3PM. I doubt that it lasts all...

  9. An RN-BSN Moving to Lynnwood, WA

    j450n replied to rkitty198's topic in Washington Nursing

    I second this! I don't know too much about apartments, but definitely look in the surrounding areas mentioned by MsLeylaBar. I was going to post a link to apartmentratings.com as well, but she beat me...

  10. An RN-BSN Moving to Lynnwood, WA

    j450n replied to rkitty198's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm not too sure about license information, but I know Steven's Hospital (http://www.stevenshealthcare.org) has a good reputation. That's in Lynnwood/Edmonds area. Snohomish County has a pretty good...

  11. New Admissions standards for TCC RN program

    j450n replied to LalaJJB's topic in Washington Nursing

    I think I agree with twinkletoes, in the sense that some are just better test-takers than others. Coming from a liberal arts background, I feel like I've studied just as hard, if not exponentially...

  12. To Shoreline nursing students

    j450n replied to namv's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hi everyone, so I think I'll be applying for next Winter since I don't think I'll have enough points yet to be competitive for fall quarter. I haven't had a chance to attend an info session yet, but I...

  13. Western Washington State Hospital

    j450n replied to kerouac01's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know anything about the nursing over there, but there seems to be some negativity/bad press surrounding the institution lately. A few of my nurses showed me this article a couple weeks ago....

  14. Cna

    j450n replied to RezqNinja's topic in Washington Nursing

    I second this. I did mine at NATI in Shoreline too. Overall, it was a good experience. I did mine a couple summers ago and it was in the evening as well. The only thing that was not in the evenings...

  15. Is nursing right for me?

    j450n replied to lbookie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Ibookie, I can honestly say I echo your sentiments completely. My latest foray of endeavors include public health, law school, teaching, medicine, social work, and now nursing. I've been a CNA for...

  16. Private nursing schools anyone ?

    j450n replied to Shar81's topic in Washington Nursing

    I think it's actually Seattle Central Community College. I could be wrong, but I believe South Seattle has only the LPN to RN program. Skagit Valley community college was also on a waiting list, until...

  17. Shoreline or UW??

    j450n replied to ceea44's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congrats namv

  18. I cant start IV's!

    j450n replied to Creamsoda's topic in Emergency

    Good to know. I think starting IVs is probably my worst fear when I become a nurse, especially since I don't have steady

  19. I cant start IV's!

    j450n replied to Creamsoda's topic in Emergency

    That's interesting. Aside from the IV nurse, the ER nurses are the ones that start IVs often at my hospital. I could definitely see how ICU nurses work mainly with central lines. Although, I have seen...

  20. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

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

    Yeah to UW, I just graduated from there. Best of luck to you

  21. Need your advice about Everette Providence medical center

    j450n replied to piscesmama's topic in Washington Nursing

    Providence in Everett is about 30 minutes north of Seattle (w/o traffic). I haven't worked there, but I've heard relatively good things about it. I believe they do hire new grads. My friend just...

  22. Can anyone give me advice on studying for Anatomy Class?

    j450n replied to NoSleepTil'...'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't agree with you more. You would think it is just memorization and regurgitation, but it's so hard to retain it sometimes. I just took a muscles exam today and couldn't even remember some of...

  23. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

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

    Hi lifeisaflowergarden, I echo your sentiments because I also have a liberal arts degree that I just completed last August. I think the best answer is that it's pretty much contingent upon each...

  24. Shoreline or UW??

    j450n replied to ceea44's topic in Washington Nursing

    While going to the best nursing school in the country would be great, Shoreline definitely has its share of accolades as well. Many of the nurses that I've worked with matriculated from Shoreline, and...

  25. Looking for a great hospital in the Seattle area - any suggestions?

    j450n replied to breatheez's topic in Washington Nursing

    I work as a nursing assistant for the UW Medical Center, which is Harborview's sister teaching hospital. I always hear how much the traveling nurses love the hospital and staff. The nursing to patient...
