  1. Flu shots as a student anyone?

    suzw replied to Mrs.RNindeed's topic in General Students

    I worked in a medical clinic (internal and family medicine) for almost 15 years, and only got the flu shot a couple times, and never got the flu either way. I finally got one that year when H1N1 hit...

  2. What to review before starting ADN program?

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Any particular areas/ body systems? Unfortunately I don't have time to review the whole

  3. Marijuana and Nursing School

    suzw replied to heather19's topic in General Students

    Why couldn't you attend clinical with a sunburn? FWIW, I don't think the OP was saying he/ she smokes MJ during the day or showing up high to class or clinicals. Only that he or she does it to aid...

  4. How old were you when you started Nursing School?

    suzw replied to NursingStudentMomof3's topic in General Students

    Started pre-reqs at 43 after working as a medical assistant for 17 years. Now am starting an ADN program in a few weeks at 45, then will do an RN-BSN bridge. I wish I had done this 10 years ago, but I...

  5. Has anyone gone to or is applying for Everett Community College's nursing program?

    suzw replied to Golgiapparatus's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey Golgi, are you in? Not that you would have any trouble getting accepted with that TEAS score and

  6. Has anyone gone to or is applying for Everett Community College's nursing program?

    suzw replied to Golgiapparatus's topic in Washington Nursing

    Forgot to come back here and let everyone know I'm IN! See you there BNoliver- I suspect it will be easy to figure out who I m since I wasn't terribly creative with my user name. ;-) You too? Let's...

  7. Has anyone gone to or is applying for Everett Community College's nursing program?

    suzw replied to Golgiapparatus's topic in Washington Nursing

    No, and I am getting really anxious. I have been accepted at another school, and don't think they are a good fit, but I need to give them an answer by tomorrow. Would hate to say no to them and then...

  8. Has anyone gone to or is applying for Everett Community College's nursing program?

    suzw replied to Golgiapparatus's topic in Washington Nursing

    Oh hey, I just replied to your reply on my post. I don't know the answer to that, but was planning to ask tomorrow. Their "nursing curriculum guide" says they look at overall GPA, then science GPA,...

  9. Got into Northwest U Nursing/ EvCC pending

    suzw posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Anyone else get into NU? I'm feeling sort of overwhelmed about the number of courses (mostly theology, and a "genetics in society") I need to take, all before 8/23. And I have some mandatory travel...

  10. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    Agree that learning about other religions can be a good thing, though I do think this many classes is over the top. FWIW, I do think I could get into one of my top choices, apparently I was very close...

  11. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    Yeah, it's CRAZY how much additional course work they want, especially considering I have a pre-nursing transfer degree. None of the bigger private schools in my area have that requirement. The...

  12. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    So in your school was being a good Christian important for doing well in the program? Was faith important once you started the program, or did it then become all about the

  13. Accepted to Christian U- but I'm not Christian...

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in School, College Programs

    Actually they do require students to attend chapel 2-3 times/ week, but I can get a waiver if I'm in clinicals or if I can convince them I need to care for my young child during chapel time. I...

  14. Got into Northwest U Nursing/ EvCC pending

    suzw replied to suzw's topic in Washington Nursing

    Bump. Does anyone know anything about the EvCC or the Northwest U nursing program? Turns out that I have to complete 4 theology classes, plus something called Christian Thought and Genetics in...

  15. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    Well, I was accepted to two schools in the Wa DC area, which I applied to when we thought my husband's job would require us to move out there. As it is, we have to go out there for 2+ months (leaving...

    Oh, and ATI preparedness level was Advanced.

  17. A Watched Kettle Never Boils: Waiting to Hear From Nursing Schools

    suzw replied to ShyeoftheTiger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Besides checking my mail every day when I get home (used to check it only a few times a week) I am doing nothing special, besides spending too much time on here. I'm too busy with classes, family, and...

  19. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    Wow, that is strange indeed. So you're an "older student" :-) with kid(s), like me. Perhaps it was because your classes were in progress. My pre-calc class hadn't been started yet (was going to take...

  20. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hey Obrien, I don't know if you are still reading this or not, but it sounds like you and I are in a similar situation with SU. I have a 3.69 GPA (was about 3.6 at time of app), have 15 years...

  21. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know, but a friend (who is also applying) said she called and they said it would be after the 1st because of the unusually high number of applicants. I hope whoever she talked to was wrong...

  22. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    Irienna, maybe next week, but I heard they were running somewhat behind due to the massive number of applicants- about

  23. University of Washington SoN Fall 2013

    suzw replied to OBrienMP's topic in Washington Nursing

    hudabelle, agree with everything you said (even the algebra and stats comparison)! I think I would have enjoyed O-chem a bit more if the instructor was better, but as it was, I had a very hard time...

  24. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    Oh, and because my life wasn't complicated enough already, my husband's employer is probably going to be requiring him (which means us- we have a 3 year old) to move out to Washington DC for a couple...

  25. Seattle University BSN (transfer) Fall 2013

    suzw replied to Brightbulb's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm going through the same thing (if this, then that, etc). Even though I get my transfer degree when I finish this quarter, I am registered for a pre-calc class this spring, which I only need for...
