  1. Olympic College Point system

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to anshra1986's topic in Washington Nursing

    You've got to go to the Olympic college website and read the ADN section. The maximum points you can get is 13 not 14. And that is only if you take all of the pre reqs Chem 121, Chem 131, A&P 241,...

  2. Olympic College-TADN

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to Luptyloo's topic in Washington Nursing

    yeah it sure is competitive. I live in Port Orchard so Olympic College is my first choice TCC would be second and after that I'll be in a real pickle if I don't get in to one of those two. But where...

  5. HELP! I start nursing school next semester and I'm failing a class :(

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to ms.hopeful09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you barely passed 3 exams in your class your exams must not have been worth a very large percentage of your grade. If they were worth a decent portion of your grade them I'm afraid you may be...

  6. Requirements to become an RN?

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to annikahonore's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why not fulfill your own dreams and let your father fulfill his own? I feel that is not a worthy reason to become an RN. Just my dumb old opinion...take it or leave it. Good luck to you though...

  8. I don't care if you know someone whos had every disease that we talk about!

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to Duice88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do the big talkers do on their tests though? -I hate that too but I think it's probably good to learn how to appreciate (or at least tolerate) people with different perspectives, personalities,...

    I have so much respect for you Mom's doing this! I see also that you're 20. I'm 32 and only now do I finally have myself together so that I can be a serious student. When I was your age I was...

  11. Anyone else finishing prereqs and getting ready to apply?

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to j450n's topic in Washington Nursing

    NichelleNurse2B- Thanks for being honest! I feel like the smart thing would be to just slow down and do it right and take Chem 131 and Bio 241 separately. I'm in Chem 121 right now and apparently a...

  15. If you didn't get the job after interviewing, did you ever call to find out why?

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to DeLana_RN's topic in General Nursing

    My experience with Human Resources administrators is that they do not share the reasons you weren't hired with you when you call. This year, for the first time in my life I have put forth great effort...

  16. Are there nursing jobs or not?

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

    But isn't it true that a lot of experienced nurses are getting to retirement age? What I heard from some nurses here in NW is that hospitals were only hiring LPNs and froze hiring on RNs a couple of...

  19. can I be a nurse

    LetUrLightShineRN replied to lpnstudentin2010's topic in General Nursing

    When I saw the title of your post I seems it has two meanings. On one level you are unsure if someone else will allow you to be a nurse because of your physical limitations, but on a deeper level it...
