Hey nurses, I had a quick question about the WGU program: Is anyone able to provide a list of books that are used for the program? I'm trying to buy some of the books prior to class (use some 2022 CE funds before they expire), I know the ebook is inc...

So exactly how long have those nursing students been working on their care plans?

"You know Jim, we could make some extra cash this fall opening a haunted house through this extra room"

It's not worth it Jim, let's head to the physicians break room. That actually gets some use.

They say this is the year they finally budget for a break nurse. I'll believe it when I see it.

Of course this is standard practice before surgery! Now just don't leave your neck too exposed.

I understand wanting to make sure people aren't breaking HIPPA but these microphones are a bit ridiculous.

I wanted to be sure you could wash that hospital smell off right when you walked in the door.

Today must be Dr. Miller's first day back from paternity leave.

It's not every day you see a patient run IN to a psych ward.

Hey everyone, I'm in my third quarter and I'll be starting my hospital clinicals next week! I was wondering what the top 10-20 drugs I should make sure I'm the most familiar with prior to the clinical. Thank you in advance!

Thanks RN403! Yeah I was planning on paying close attention to the drugs that I come across but I wanted to see what to focus on prior to my first clinical. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll check out that app MurseH, thanks!

I'm probably a glutton for punishment (I am in nursing school so that's definitely true) but I was wondering what would be helpful to get a jump on studying for the NCLEX while in nursing school. I just finished the first quarter so although I know 1...

Thanks for all the help! I haven't asked my instructors their suggestions yet but we're on break now and I was going to in person when we get back. Some of the resources we have through the program are a bit all over the place on the material so I wa...

I'm in the program as well @jdcline03! I haven't heard anything beyond the offer and then the confirmation that they received my acceptance. I've been considering emailing the nursing admissions coordinator to find out what our next step is but didn'...

We're on the quarter system, ends mid-December (I think) then winter quarter from Jan-March and spring quarter from March-June(ish)

I wonder if now would be a good time to let her know nursing school starts next week?

I found out on the same day (July 25th) and start on September 29th! What school did you get into MrsSmith?? I got into Lake Washington Tech in Kirkland, WA

Hey everyone, I'm going to be applying to a few schools this coming winter and was wondering what the difficulty of acceptance was like, the difficulty of the program and what type of work (if any) current or previous students have had. I am applying...

I also applied to this program, good luck to all of us! Where else have people applied/plan to apply. I applied to Bellevue College and plan on applying to Lake Washington IT as well as Tacoma CC (providing that they actually have a program/post thei...

Thanks! Yeah that's the only one I applied to this quarter. If I don't get in then I'm just going to save up a bit more money and apply for several in the Fall.

Well I just sent my application to LWIT today! I have been speaking with a number of people at my work (I work at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance) including nurses and NPs regarding that certification. It sounds like many hiring managers (at least ...

Where did you find out they are accredited jaycam? I corresponded with the admissions counselor and knew they were working on it but never heard they got it.

Hey Kristiesin, I was wondering if you found out anything after attending the information session...I have attended one already but didn't ask about the accreditation. Based on a number of different factors, LWIT is currently the only school I plan ...

I know that Washington IT and Shoreline are both on the points system but I'm not sure about Everett. There are a few of them that start Winter and Spring (some possibly Summer too?) but I personally missed out on the Fall applications.
