Hi all! I wanted to know if any of you had tips for how to improve my application. I plan to apply Fall 2015 to Gonzaga (spokane, wa) and OHSU (Portland, or). My BSN GPA is 3.76 with science GPA 3.91. I work in a large 32-bed adult ICU that is in a m...

There are some programs that don't require the GRE to apply....

Current SRNA. 157 / 157 (314 total) and 5.0 writing. Kaplan prep book

My school wouldn't allow it, but for this first semester I would have had the time. I have heard from students ahead of me in the program that from 2nd semester on it would be impossible.

that sounds awesome! congrats!!

If you "were to work in an ICU?" You do realize that you are required to do so, right?

To start fall 2017? 2 years away from now? Wow, I can't imagine having to wait that long just to start after acceptance, but at least you will get the chance to save a lot of money and work OT now! Congrats! You must be relieved.

Yes...

Marishkarn I encourage you to apply to the University of Puerto Rico program, too! :)

get a bachelors in nursing. not an associates degree

I PM'ed you. Let me know if you have any questions at all

Hi there! I am a part of my units shared governance committee and have volunteered to try to improve my unit's report process. We have had complaints from a couple providers and family members about information being lost during report. We usually h...

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing! I know it is a long shot, as they only accept a few per year. Us west coast people really got the short end of the stick in terms of close-to-home programs. I am in the pacific NW and denver is one of the few place...

Replying to follow this thread for next year's application cycle! Best of luck!

Congrats! Hoping to be in your boat this time next year. Also will be applying to TWU, Gonzaga, and Sam Merritt. Which clinical site did you get offered at TWU? I am hoping for Denver.

I'm curious about your unit's central line care to prevent blood stream infections. I have seen some posters mention their unit has not has a BSI in over a year or two. My unit is good, but not THAT good, and I would like to know what we could do dif...

Thank you so much for taking the time to offer help. I really appreciate it! Do you have any suggestions for the best science class to take- or know of any advanced biochem/organic chem online classes?

Thank you so much Ashley. I have been looking for the NACHRI guidelines since you posted but have been unable to find a clear cut set of recommendations. I have found some research articles related to the matter by them but have only read the abstrac...

$4.50 for nights and $4.50 for weekends at my hospital.

Our contract gives 3% raises yearly plus an extra $1.25/hr for every year of experience I gain. Yes, I think this is fair. I do not think some of the responses I've read are fair!

Anyone waiting to hear back for the BSN transfer program at Seattle U to start Fall 2009?? I sure am...I'm going crazy! I know we're not supposed to hear until April, but when I called to fix something on my application last month, I asked when to ex...

I don't think RNs are better than another profession by any means, but I did feel a twinge of annoyance when, at my boyfriend's family's thanksgiving, one of his family members was asked if she was a nurse (after talking about working at a hospital) ...

When I was in school, the nursing home I did my gero rotation at was full of wealthy people. They had "happy hour" every day from 3-5 with boxed wine, with a two glass maximum. I thought it was cute. :)

I am thankful for: My family who are supportive, even of me living 300 miles away to work my dream job in a large, nationally recognized pediatric hospital. My AMAZING job that I have been working toward and wishing for for years until now. My boyfr...

1:3 on days and 1:3-4 on nights on my pediatric surgical floor. We take care of high acuity kiddos, some that most hospitals would have in a PICU. I LOVE my job! :heartbeat
