    Tele nurse with 10 yr experience looking for a job in Seattle area

    tokmom replied to Buddyken's topic in Washington Nursing

    Interesting, so is the BSN push creeping into the N. Sound then too? Strangely, it's not very strong in the S. Sound. I work for a very large organization in the S. Sound area and they have made NO...

    I cringe at the thought of work

    I don't know about all hospitals, but a friend was looking toward Seattle and they required a BSN in 5 even though she has 10 yrs experience. I think it's just the push near Seattle. However, I do...

    Hopefully the school will have something. I had stuff from the mid 80's. They probably had to dust it off, but it was there,

    LOL, Prism, do you think Rob will be a bit crazed after a few classes? The downside of online is the lack of a classroom. If you have trouble understanding the questions asked you can't raise your...

    I read a new nursing book for over 45 hrs. Can I claim these as CE hours?

    tokmom replied to Buddyken's topic in Washington Nursing

    Love where I work, but I'm not in Seattle. More the south sound, in a family oriented town. You may have a bit more difficulty in Seattle proper wealth an ADN, because of the glut of BSN students...

    OMG, I know. I wonder if we had the same one?? It wasn't uncommon to have a MINIMUM of 5 points knocked off a paper for a small mistake! The only paper that received a decent and almost perfect grade...

    And in the capstone, we had the option of doing it both ways, either narrative or more detailed such as you did. We were suppose to drop the word abstract. I got dinged a few points on that

    Umm, the hospital didn't drag people off the street and demand a person works for them. You sign up for a job/career that mandates holidays, then YOU suck it up and work. It's not rocket science. How...
