  1. A&P at BCC?

    WSUCougarBSN replied to Mrs.Christie's topic in Washington Nursing

    We didn't have cats when I was there. In fact, I can't think of a thing that we DID have besides some lungs, and cow eyes. I've never forgotten those lessons, though. You might hate it, but you...

  2. WSU Tri-cities or Yakima students?

    WSUCougarBSN replied to 2bcurious's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey there... I went to WSU Tri-Cities. And now I am going there again - for my Masters! Beautiful campus, tight-knit... if that's what you are into, then I would recommend that to anyone. There are...

  3. Uniform Nurse Care Policies

    WSUCougarBSN replied to lizva101's topic in General Nursing

    I have been doing research about VAP, and trying to help update our policy at our hospital with NEW research - it seems that everything I have found is at least 5 years old. This website you...

  4. Comparing 3 hospitals-Evergreen, Harrison, and St. Peter's

    WSUCougarBSN replied to MaddieRN's topic in Washington Nursing

    I used to work at Evergreen. It was the best job I ever had (besides my current job). I was at Evergreen for 5 years... I only left my job because I had to relocate, but was always told that if I...

  5. Working as a stripper AND a nurse

    WSUCougarBSN replied to inland18mempire's topic in General Nursing

    Well, let me be honest... I personally would never consider it. Your patients come from all walks of life and from near and far. So do your patrons at the place that you strip, and that could prove...

  6. Math on the NCLEX exam

    WSUCougarBSN replied to hytrytwyt's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I just took the NCLEX on Monday (I passed! Yay!) I didn't get a SINGLE math question on the entire thing. A girlfriend of mine took it the same day, and she got 2 math questions. Both had simple...

  7. OMG I may have a nervous breakdown...

    WSUCougarBSN replied to NiteOwlinPa's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Good grief. That is the worst thing I have EVER heard. That doesn't sound like nursing school... that sounds like prison. When I started nursing school, they told us that we are a family and that...

  8. How do you manage to get to work in snow storms ?

    WSUCougarBSN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    When I lived in the Greater Seattle Area a while back, we had a massive ice storm that arrested the entire area. The hospital I worked for went on lock-down, and we were told to either room-in or...

  9. What's the saddest thing you've seen in your career??

    WSUCougarBSN replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I think the saddest thing I've ever seen in my career was a patient that I had that passed away on the Oncology Wing I used to work at. He had never had children, never married, and had no living...

  10. nclex day countdown time!

    WSUCougarBSN replied to l.a.m.b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh my gosh... me too... I am taking mine in 6 days. I am up late.... I was starting to fall asleep and then I started thinking about lab values. Over and over and over... they just keep popping in...

  11. Microbiology Winter 2008

    WSUCougarBSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmmmm... How was Micro difficult for me? Well, it's a lot like the memorization from A&P, but it's for stuff that you can't visualize like you can body parts. It might turn out to be easier for...

  12. Applying to Nursing School Blues

    WSUCougarBSN replied to jamoshey's topic in General Students

    Keep your head up! You have better chances than you think. I was just about to give up when I got accepted. Whatever you do, DON'T ever give up. A lot of my friends out here in Washington State...

  13. Now That the Semester is over....What Will You Do Better Next Semester

    WSUCougarBSN replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    Every semester, I did this... I got progressively better and better... until last semester I did my best ever! Good luck to

  16. Is it more of an accomplishment to be a younger nurse?

    WSUCougarBSN replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Nursing

    There is no hurry! Life is long, and we would only be rushing ourselves. I was one of the older students in my class. I didn't resent the younger ones... Everyone comes to their place at their...

  17. cna now required on rn application

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

    I've always thought that it would be better for a RN to have had some CNA experience. I can see your point

  18. Bad Day!!!

    WSUCougarBSN replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Gross... I hate it when there is a "pet" in the class. Well, I honestly hope you feel better. Keep your head up!

  19. Probably a dumb question: "I have to pee even though I have a catheter in!"

    WSUCougarBSN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I've had patients tell me this too! I've heard everything... from the pressure of the catheter inside the bladder -- to the "foley is too full." Honestly, I don't know how the bag being too full...

  20. Microbiology Winter 2008

    WSUCougarBSN replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. I'm due to deliver a week before clinicals start. Should I take a semester off?

    WSUCougarBSN replied to Hamik24's topic in General Students

    Someone in my class had this happen... her husband was very supportive, and it was difficult, but they did

  24. drinks at the nurses station

    WSUCougarBSN replied to gamegirlkimmy's topic in Nurse Management

    Yes, this is a controversial issue. Even though I prefer to have my drink at the nurses station, we all know we aren't supposed to. Doing what is right might peeve people, but at least you are doing...
