  1. Seattle Central Community College Fall 2014

    If your class is like mine, you won't get an official schedule until you register which you will do in person later in the
  2. Pharmacology Textbooks

    I am on summer break in the middle of my ADN program. For various reasons I don't feel like I've gotten very good instruction in pharmacology so for my personal knowledge base, for future education...
  3. Pharmacology Textbooks

    Great, thanks so much guys! I will look for
  4. Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    I have had one clinical rotation at the VA and I loved it. The staff all said they were very happy with their jobs. It seemed like a great place to
  5. I am a current ADN student and since I'm off for the summer, I'm working on a rough draft of my RN to BSN application which will be due in the spring next year (I know, I'm way ahead of schedule, but...
  6. RN to BSN application/personal statement

    Thank you all for your help. I will post on here for your critique when the essay is a bit more
  7. My unconventional approach

    "I often found things that needed to be done other than studying, "oh gee, that pile of laundry needs to be folded", or "Hmm, it's been a long time since I've scrubbed the tile in the bathroom with a...
  8. Valsalva maneuver

    Okay, so maybe I'm just dense, but I'm really confused by this. The Valsalva maneuver promotes a vasovagal response (parasympathetic response): lowering B/P, pulse and increasing vasodilation, right?...
  9. Seattle Central Community College Fall 2014

    Not a stupid question at all. For our class we had to order specific scrubs from a specific website. They're royal blue, expensive as h*%$ and super uncomfortable. So we couldn't just get whatever,...
  10. Valsalva maneuver

    I posted this in the nursing student forum but I'm not getting a lot of response so I'm going to try it here: Okay, so maybe I'm just dense, but I'm really confused by this. The Valsalva maneuver...
  11. RN to BSN...can't decide

    Thank you so much for your input!! I've pretty much decided to go with either UW Bothell or Washington State University's online program. Online is more convenient, obviously, but the networking...
  12. RN to BSN...can't decide

    So I am halfway through my ADN program at SCCC and it just hit me that if I want to go straight into an RN to BSN program after graduation, I have about five months to decide where I want to go and...
  13. RN to BSN...can't decide

    Actually from downtown Seattle (I just live up the hill so I can walk to downtown pretty easily), it's almost the same amount of time on the bus to Bothell or Tacoma. Both about an hour each way....
  14. RN to BSN...can't decide

    I'm going to take it from my school (Seattle Central College) because they're offering it online in the fall and that's the only way it will work with my
  15. Question about Saunders NCLEX materials

    Thanks for the help, guys! I'm only halfway through my ADN program so I won't be taking the NCLEX for another year or so. I have the content review to go through and the online practice questions, so...
  16. So I bought Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX and it came with an online code that gives me access to the NCLEX prep stuff on the website. I was originally planning to also purchase the...
  17. Critique of Nursing School

    Wow, I'm glad to know I'm not alone in the feelings I often have about my nursing program. There are a handful (a small handful) of great teachers, great classroom experiences, great classes but so...
  18. TRUE STORY! Save everything you need for nursing school because you will probably have to do it all again. I just had to resubmit all 6 forms for my clinical site because the ones I filled out last...
  19. So I'm halfway done with my ADN program, so I'm putting together a plan (I'm a planner, can you tell?) for NCLEX study since it's now about a year away. Here's my plan and I'd love some feedback on...
  20. Failed third time don't know what else to do

    Hey, hang in there. That's tough, not going to lie, so give yourself some time to sort through it. Take a little time off from studying and feel sorry for yourself, then pick yourself up, remind...
  21. Online RN to BSN from a state school

    Thanks! I do think that online degrees are becoming more and more common so maybe I shouldn't be
  22. I am seriously considering doing my RN to BSN online from a state (brick and mortar) school that also has an online program. I understand that a degree from some (or all) strictly online schools may...
  23. Buying a stethoscope before Nursing School

    I guess I was making assumptions based on how much I see nurses use stethoscopes in the hospitals, which is very rarely. I guess I just missed it. I stand
  24. Case study books with answers

    I'm off from nursing school over the summer (woot woot!) and I want to keep my skills sharp and do some of the study things I haven't had time to do thus far in the program. I'm looking for a good...
