  1. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    j450n replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I do not mind :nuke: I got the chance to go to the east coast twice this year and I really liked it over there. I figure it would be a chance for me to take a hiatus from Seattle for awhile. Most of...

    j450n replied to moffist's topic in Washington Nursing

    Where is this? Most places I know do electronic

    j450n replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Congrats and good luck to the both of you! I'm still holding out for mine. I'm hoping that it's taking longer because I'm on the west coast. I'm anxious

  6. So at the end of my "pre-med" career I'm thinking of switching to nursing...

    j450n replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion, I'd rather go for a M.D. than head to PA school. Where I'm at, most PA schools require at least some sort of background in healthcare. Sometimes that required experience plus PA school...

    j450n replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    No worries, you didn't come off as arrogant at all. One of the components of my job is being a sitter as well, so that's cool. The hardest thing for me is not to feel so burned-out from school. It's...

    j450n replied to xpinchx's topic in General Nursing

    Hi xpinchx, I have to say that I echo many of your sentiments with switching between medicine and nursing among other things. I am in your shoes right now, and probably have a lot of the same...

  9. Making the best of my wait

    j450n replied to Salamander39's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with sunray. Unfortunately, it seems like a lot of job-searching comes down to being able to network and get the hook up somehow. If it means volunteering at a hospital until you find that in,...

  10. State test this week--Korotkoff sounds??

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

    That sounds intense I thought I had it bad with 5 skills and one of which was washing your hands for sure...so really, I only had four. I am confused. How do you listen for the first sound and then...

  11. University of Washington ID-ANP program

    j450n replied to madtownboy's topic in General Nursing

    U-DUB! I definitely agree about the health sciences being exceptional. Their programs are ranked consistently in the top percentile of the country. I also work at UWMC and have to say that many find...

  12. What Is Atp?

    j450n replied to kiwi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's funny that there is a thread devoted to ATP because I'm studying the same thing right now in my bio class. Sciences are the bane of my

  14. Forced to stay at work...?

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

    I've definitely never been forced to stay, but I've been asked if I wanted to a few times. I can recall this one evening this past summer where I was working an evening 8-hour shift as a constant...
