  1. A&P at BCC?

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

    It sounds like they don't use cats at BCC, but even if they did, I really doubt they'd actually be breeding cats specifically for dissection. Look how many cats animal shelters put down every year; I...

  2. RN to BSN at University of Phoenix?

    rainydaydream replied to JP82's topic in School, College Programs

    What about Western Governors University? I've heard excellent things about their programs (not specifically nursing), and they're mostly online....

  3. Double Majoring in Biology/Nursing?

    rainydaydream replied to nohika's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'd recommend working on the biology before the nursing as you might not be able to do both at the same time due to the strange ways nursing schools often schedule classes. Another reason for this is...

  4. Dispel a rumor OR validate a truth...

    rainydaydream replied to gapelaez's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    (At least in Minnesota) I believe there is a requirement of at least a BSN to earn a public health nursing certification. You might look into MSN programs or accelerated BSNs,

  5. Young RN?

    rainydaydream replied to Missy89's topic in General Students

    People tell you these things not to discount your fears, but because it's true -- you *do* have time. You are lucky to be focused at a young age! It is definitely a blessing, not a curse. I'm sure...

  6. Portland or Vancouver

    rainydaydream replied to flg8tr's topic in Oregon Nursing

    "I know from my own HR dept at one of the major hospital systems in town that we are in a silent hiring freeze - I say silent because the jobs are posted and they are accepting applications but they...

  7. Advice on what I should do?

    rainydaydream replied to Vanillanut's topic in Washington Nursing

    I would bet you might have better luck in Bellingham, as there are no BSN programs based up there. St. Joseph's is the big hospital up there. I don't think a Canadian BSN would be a problem so long...

  8. American or Swedish nursing education?

    rainydaydream replied to c3p0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would train where you want to live. The posters above gave good reasons, but it also seems less than ethical to receive a free education in nursing with no intention of using it in that

  9. Help I have to retake Microbiology!!

    rainydaydream replied to NichelleNurse2b's topic in Washington Nursing

    Micro at Seattle Central totally kicks butt, actually. Highly recommended; great

  10. UW or WSU RN-BSN?

    rainydaydream replied to RNShenanigator's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'd apply to the school located where you want to live after graduation. You might meet other nurses at local hospitals during clinicals and this might help you in your job search later on. It would...

  11. Seattlite trying to find RN Program?

    rainydaydream replied to theedge93's topic in Washington Nursing

    There are many 2 year programs in Seattle. Shorelines, Seattle Central, North Seattle (I think), etc. If you're willing to go across the bridge there are even more program on the Eastside. Yes,...

  12. Flu shots for students

    rainydaydream replied to llg's topic in General Students

    Our school gives them to all students in the health programs free of

  13. Is there anyway to volunteer to keep up skills while unemployed?

    rainydaydream replied to jnmoore02's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Look for a low-income clinic in your area -- I know there's one where I live that is run solely by volunteers, including nurses, doctors and dentists. Sometimes the Salvation Army runs these types of...

  14. Scared of Microbiology ... Advice?

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

    Microbiology was one of the coolest, most interesting classes I've ever taken! Be sure to study a lot. Read all of the book information, make sure you understand it, and understand how what you learn...

  15. Have a B.A. in non-nursing field and want to get go for MSN. Please help! (Bay Area)

    rainydaydream replied to ppa86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think most accelerated programs require direct patient care experience, but most require stellar grades in your prerequisites and maybe some volunteer experience. Have you looked at the...

  16. When will RNs be hired again?

    rainydaydream posted a topic in General Nursing

    It appears that RN jobs are disappearing. At the same time, tons of people have gone back to school to fill the gaps in this supposed shortage. What's the deal? Is it the economy? Are there enough...

  17. St Kate's Post Bac Admissions

    rainydaydream replied to mollysdirtysprocket's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, that just means you got in for 2010! There's nothing wrong with deferring an extra year with this economy. If you have a job, save up your cash for your school and work hard this year so you...

  18. When will RNs be hired again?

    rainydaydream replied to rainydaydream's topic in General Nursing

    MassED: Last I looked on nearly any hospital website there were few, if any, jobs available for RNs. Last year there were many many more job listings. My friend recruits nurses on the west coast and...

  19. University of Minnesota BSN applicant / funding questions

    rainydaydream posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I'm an applicant for University of Minnesota's BSN program for this next fall. Long story...I'm an out of state student and really looking to get the most "bang for my buck" education-wise. I...

  20. University of Minnesota BSN applicant / funding questions

    rainydaydream replied to rainydaydream's topic in General Nursing

    I think I could use some suggestions. Here are my considerations: -I don't have a ton of cash saved. My cash savings won't even cover an entire year of college. -My personal strengths: I'm pretty...

  21. University of Minnesota BSN applicant / funding questions

    rainydaydream replied to rainydaydream's topic in General Nursing

    ...well, I made it in! I'm still not sure if I'll go -- it's very expensive and I don't yet know my funding options. I'd hate to graduate with too much debt. I'm also considering spending more time...

  22. University of Minnesota BSN applicant / funding questions

    rainydaydream replied to rainydaydream's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lola, Thank you so much for your reply! I really just worry when making such a big investment of time and money....I really hope it pays off. The Fairview sponsorship sounds good. I've also...
