  1. Math help

    SeattleJess replied to dorkypanda's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It's basically the same formula, isn't it? Except that one breaks the total down into

  2. I LOVE IPN!!! for i am a success story!

    SeattleJess replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    There is something incredibly sweet and wonderful about people at the ends of their lives. I only wish we had more time to connect with them. Caring for their physical needs with minimal staffing...

  3. I LOVE IPN!!! for i am a success story!

    SeattleJess replied to Junebug59's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks, Tigerboy1! I agree! I'm just finishing orientation at my first CNA job; I'll be starting nursing school in the fall. My facility has TCU and LTC; in-and-out patient care is psychologically...

  4. stethoscope for bte hearing aids

    SeattleJess replied to cyntrim's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    The website isn't that helpful. Still says the Freedomscope will enter production in mid-2014. I wonder if this is like the continuous glucose-monitoring insulin pumps, a piece of technology that it's...

  5. Overweight/underweight Nurses

    SeattleJess replied to TheSkyIsPurple's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are SO right about this! You've described the nurses who inspired me to get into nursing. It wasn't their hair... or their weight... or their age, color or creed. It was the skill and the love...

  6. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    SeattleJess replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

  7. Did being a CNA make you NOT want to be a nurse anymore?

    SeattleJess replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yipes, this is SO TRUE! I work at a facility that is probably as good as it can get eldercare AND... it's just as you've said. Plus the therapists have the biggest

  8. When a Doctor is very nasty...and

    SeattleJess replied to lumbarpain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lumbarpain, you need to be very, very gentle with yourself right now. When the victim of bullying starts to show signs of stress, loses it and begins to unravel, SHE becomes the identified problem....

  9. Cross Addiction

    SeattleJess replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Good advice, Catmom! And Big Blondie, whenever you have ANY doubts, get thee to a meeting and talk about it with people. The time for disaster prep is before it happens. As was said, it's not the...

  10. So Proud

    SeattleJess replied to Tigerboy1's topic in Nurses Recovery

    WooHoo, tigerboy1!!! Congratulations and thank you for the motto. Once again, evidence that recovery will give you skills that everyone needs and that make the world a better place for everone. Well...

  11. rolling book bag/packpack

    SeattleJess replied to jbward's topic in General Students

    OMG, I hadn't thought at all about storage! We had orientation in an auditorium/classroom with plenty of room for a small piece of luggage but it never occurred to me to think I might be in a cramped...

  12. rolling book bag/packpack

    SeattleJess replied to jbward's topic in General Students

    I was fortunate enough to find a sale at JC Penney. I bought a Samsonite fabric carryon bag (with roller wheels) - a $250 bag on sale for $99. There were hard-shell ones on sale, too, but the one I...

  13. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    SeattleJess replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    That's why I'm getting an ADN degree instead of replicating my BS degree. The difference in time and money is staggering. I realize that we all have different goals and resources, though, and that the...

  14. BSN programs are harder than ADN

    SeattleJess replied to ExpBrittany's topic in General Students

    That is exactly what a BSN program is. At the University of Washington, students who already have their BA/BS can take an accelerated BSN program which is basically the ADN program. That said, I did...

  15. Last day of work

    SeattleJess replied to ruralnurse84's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What a happy and inspiring story, ruralnurse84. Thank you for sharing it. Congratulations on all your achievements. I'll be interested to see where your next steps take you. Like Autymfyres says,...

  16. CNA's - What hours do you work?

    SeattleJess replied to VagusX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm training for a part-time position in the float pool at a large complex with ALF, LTC and TCU. I'll be working in either TCU or LTC, mostly on evenings but perhaps doing some days if needed. For...

  17. LTC 101: What To Expect

    SeattleJess replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Reading this well-written article was like having a popsicle on a hot summer day. Delicious! It's not easy being the Rodney Dangerfield of healthcare while you're doing the work of an action hero....

  18. I'm so bad at my community job...

    SeattleJess replied to calamityjane1's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, calamityjane1, you need to change the way you talk to yourself! Remember, what we focus attention onto is what grows. I cringed when I read the words you say about yourself. How about "learning?"...

  19. What's $500 dollar NCLEX RN question?

    SeattleJess replied to ArrowRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    man-nurse2b, I love your evidence-based practice approach to studying! I'm still two years away from the NCLEX but I have passed two state bar exams and what you say is absolutely true. I like to have...

  20. New CNA

    SeattleJess replied to megandanielle1997's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi, megandanielle1997! Checking back to see how you and this thread are doing. Missingyou added a great suggestion. I read the resident care plans and look at the relevant section in Nursing...

  21. Online test vs. The test in the book

    SeattleJess replied to Mchs4735's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I thought the science questions in the online test were a little more difficult than the tests in the study manual and more like the actual TEAS V. Taking the test on a computer instead of with a...

  22. How IS a NCLEX SATA question graded?

    SeattleJess posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm curious about this. If three out of four of the choices on a SATA question are correct, must we select all three to get the question correct? Or is there partial credit for selecting some of the...

  23. How IS a NCLEX SATA question graded?

    SeattleJess replied to SeattleJess's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yipes! No wonder posters seem to loathe and despise SATA questions! It's hard enough not to overthink when I know there is only one

  24. TMI at Dinner

    SeattleJess replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yes, a problem for me and an even bigger one for my husband who works in a sewage treatment
