  1. Disheartened by friends' reaction about Residency

    sno963 replied to PJishere's topic in General Nursing

    No one has mentioned this, but check for a military clause in your contract. Generally your husband's orders will extend to you for purposes of employment and housing. I think you made a good choice...

  2. University of Washington (UW) Fall 2019 DNP

    sno963 replied to darling.moni's topic in School, College Programs

    I think they are weeding out those who don't want to do the work to get into the program. The more requirements = the less amount of people will apply making it easier for them to choose. The...

    sno963 replied to darling.moni's topic in School, College Programs

    I got a call from FNP faculty as well (not the lead). She was very nice and extremely helpful. I'll be planning on working part time (approx. 20 hours) to hopefully avoid student loans. I'm in a few...

  10. University of Washington UW DNP 2019

    sno963 replied to spark_seattle's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hello! I am not sure why, but your post only just showed up for me! There is another post that is also for the UW DNP 2019 applicants (newer). Anyway, I totally messed up the written portion of the...

  11. University of Washington (UW) Fall 2019 DNP

    sno963 replied to darling.moni's topic in School, College Programs

    Hello! I applied to the FNP track. I have no information about the process other than what I have read here and their website. I live in Florida so it would be a cross country move for me if accepted....

  12. Discharge Orders

    sno963 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, In your experience, does a doctor need to specify in a discharge order whether to remove an IV line or telemetry? I always removed it unless specified otherwise, and have only discharged a...

  13. I made a med error

    sno963 posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Hey nurses, I just need to vent a little. I'm not sure why this medication error is hitting me so hard as it isn't the first I've made and definitely not the last. I have never made the same type of...

  15. Need a hug

    sno963 replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    How are you supposed to perform tasks quicker while still performing them to maintain patient safety? Med errors happen when we are rushed, and then we start cutting corners! I would be up front with...

  16. Going off orientation next week...

    sno963 replied to stickit34's topic in General Nursing

    Remember to always ask questions! Don't be afraid to bring another nurse in the room with you to check out a patient if you aren't sure. The patient and the other nurse will respect you more for it...

  17. Asked to break the law

    sno963 replied to maxxilla's topic in General Nursing

    A CRNA is supervised by an anesthesiologist, but that doesn't mean the MD has to be in the room with the CRNA the whole time. An RN supervises the work of a CNA, but that doesn't mean the RN has to be...

  18. What if we had to tell the real truth when asked about our weaknesses?

    sno963 replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    I never understand questions about weaknesses and "where will you be in 10 years?" If I were an interviewer I would know these questions are unfair and will almost never yield a truthful (truly)...

  19. Is it voodo or curse

    sno963 replied to kemifair's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    One thing I don't think anyone has asked is if you have a learning disability? Again, not trying to be rude and you do not need to answer this question on this board, but you repeat time and time...
