    grownuprosie replied to bear14's topic in General Students

  3. Bellevue College 2012 hopefuls

    grownuprosie replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    last year anyway, we bought them online with instructions from Jocelyn(Lab instructor). The book store marks up the price significantly, so the Lab instructor did not want us to pay more if we did not...

  4. Cert Med Aid or Phlebotomy class?

    grownuprosie replied to hurditrthere's topic in General Students

    My phlebotomy course did not go over rationales, just skills. Most of the people there were going onto being phlebotomists who do not need to know diagnostics. Yes, they need to know which tube to...

  6. Pre-reqs and working full time..

    grownuprosie replied to taraer1206's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I may be alone on this, but I found the Pre-reqs way more challenging than the nursing courses. My grades actually went up in nursing school. My theory is that i am actually interested in nursing,...

  9. Will no job history hurt me?

    grownuprosie replied to parrotluvr's topic in General Students

    I would be interested to hear what other hiring personell have to say about this. Work history can tell quite a story about a person regardless of the field. I am surprised to hear that it means zero...

  10. Tricks/Tips for getting plastic/shrink wrap off packaging

    grownuprosie replied to jt43's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I know what you mean. At one of my hospitals that I had a clinical rotation, a patient on contact precautions required PPE upon entering the room regardless of contact. It was so silly. If you wanted...

  11. Community college has a 7% graduation rate...

    grownuprosie replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like everyone else said, look at the program rather than the school. I took my Pre-reqs at 3 different schools because that is where the classes were that fit my schedule. I ended up in a comlpetely...

  12. Fears about nursing school

    grownuprosie replied to RNintraining72's topic in General Students

    Have you confirmed that this is the case for your program or is this a rumor? My program requires that you pass the ATI to continue with the program. However, you get multiple attempts. Do not stress...

  15. Why are people so ignorant?

    grownuprosie replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have friends that have 4 yr degrees in English. They are some of the most well read baristas that you will ever meet. :) I would not worry about it too

  16. Nursing Program Rumors

    grownuprosie replied to buttons93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Absolutely! You would not believe some of the **stool** spews out of peoples mouthes about how to get into nursing school. Almost all of which is verified in 10 seconds on the schools website. Some...

    grownuprosie replied to ranyan's topic in Washington Nursing

    Bellevue College student here. You are right, we do get the summer off. It is actually working out perfectly for me though. I am working full time over the summer which will help pay fall tuition. As...

  19. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    grownuprosie replied to ImKosher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My only reservation about this post is that determinition does not always equal nurse material. I worked with a medical assistant who took college algebra 6 times and could not pass. They barely...

    grownuprosie posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have a friend from high school that is a caregiver to a mentally handicapped adult. She is not a healthcare provider. Basically, she is a sitter when the parents are away or at work. She is...

  21. Nurses and alcohol

    grownuprosie replied to kdbean530's topic in General Students

    This is just my opinion, but I think if people want to drink in any field, they are going to. There was equal talk of drinking when I worked retail to when I started in a medical office. I think...

  22. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    grownuprosie replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How can anyone going into a field that prides itself on evidence based practice feel that "loosely organized articles" are sufficient basis for an opinion? Judging by the fact that after many requests...

    grownuprosie replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No one is asking you to cite the bible. We are asking you to cite the source of your information that this chip program exists at all. You have stated over and over that you "looked it up." I can...
