  1. Shoreline Fall 2014

    SeattleJess replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Guinea pigs, adorable! How did you find the lead on the room? I'm still liking the idea of a crash pad during the

  2. Shoreline Fall 2014

    SeattleJess replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Journey, how is your house-hunt going? When you were at orientation, did you get my PM or see the notice on the nursing bulletin board about the room for rent? Good price and she offered even lower...

  3. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Wait List People, I just emailed Chie to decline my spot in the Fall 2014 cohort. I would have procrastinated about a decision until the Bellevue orientation just to feed my addiction to choice but...

  4. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks, Jenngirl, it's reassuring to me that students make it through without study groups! The panel was pretty united in saying that there was too much material the first year for anyone to make it...

  5. Should this new grad decline this job offer?

    SeattleJess replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That first job is so very important. If you get into something you hate, you'll be stuck there for at least a year so you don't look like a "jumper" on your resume and then you'll be a year farther...

  6. When's the doctor coming in??

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

    Excellent! I appreciate the skillfulness of your approach. Sounds like you're listening for feelings and needs that underlie the words. I often get tangled up in the words; connection is easier and...

  7. Interview Help... Terrified.

    SeattleJess replied to Maggie_july's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Caveat: I'm not a nurse yet (starting school this fall) but I just got my CNA certification and my first job at an LTC facility that's part of a large health services organization. I hope to keep the...

  8. I think I was made for this....

    SeattleJess replied to doppelganger99's topic in Critical Care

    I can feel the heat of you catching on fire! Wonderful that you are finding your passion. Please keep us

  10. finally on the nursing path

    SeattleJess replied to mrsoly2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so happy for you! Congratulations! How great that you have a supervisor who recognizes the value of your education and is supportive. Hope this means you'll have a job waiting for you when you...

  11. I thought I knew, but I had NO idea

    SeattleJess replied to CareQueen's topic in General Students

    This is really good news for someone who occasionally has thoughts that she is too old. (That would be me.) Thank you!

  12. I thought I knew, but I had NO idea

    SeattleJess replied to CareQueen's topic in General Students

    GrnTea, thank you, thank you! I'll be starting nursing school this fall in a program with an excellent reputation... AND a point system with a large number of points given for CNA and EMT experience...

  13. Hospital CNA job listing disappeared after 6 days?

    SeattleJess replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You're going to stick out of the pile, DancingQueen94! Do you know the name of the hiring manager so that you can drop off or mail a hard copy resume? My instructors stressed doing that and it helped...

  14. Hospital CNA job listing disappeared after 6 days?

    SeattleJess replied to Dancingqueen94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    She's probably overwhelmed. (Read posts from nurses who need to wade through applications to get a sense of perspective.) Send her a thank you e-card or email for taking your call. Here's just one...

  15. LPN Application Essay

    SeattleJess replied to JosephRAdam's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Your heart shines through this letter and I think you could benefit by correcting a few minor grammar and stylistic errors so that nothing will detract from your message. Best of

  16. I thought I knew, but I had NO idea

    SeattleJess replied to CareQueen's topic in General Students

    Oh, poor honey, I know what it's like to be in that negative mind trap! You have the key right there...focus on progress alone. It sounds to me like you recognize and learn from mistakes. Why not...

  17. Demanding family members

    SeattleJess replied to PerfectlyNumb's topic in Emergency

    Right

  18. I'm a student NURSE

    SeattleJess replied to KenH's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you knew what you were

  19. Laptop vs Paper

    SeattleJess replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    I guess there's nothing like this for an Android tablet?

  20. Shoreline Fall 2014

    SeattleJess replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    I know, right, I mean (splutter, splutter.) I was amazed at how many people didn't get registration forms; I think from the looks on their faces that the instructors were, too. Oh, I may not have...

  21. Shoreline Fall 2014

    SeattleJess replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Orientation was AWESOME! One of the best parts was the panel of students just ahead of us. They had someone representative of just about every student: working, parents, no experience in health care,...

  22. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    One for the dinos,

  23. NCLEX Question? READ THIS!

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

    [COLOR=#003366]tbbtpeach and RNsRWe, I appreciate the quality of your discussion. Love the obvious intent to clarify and to understand, not to "win" and the respectful tone. Last, but not least, the...

  24. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Congrats, asl and Stephmonster! I think it's great that the strong support that started here is consolidating into the fall cohort. I went to the Shoreline orientation yesterday where a panel of...

  25. Nursing school & Nightshifts?

    SeattleJess replied to Jcman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every single one of you students who work night shifts are AWESOME! I think it would be too challenging for me to work nights and attend school days; I just need a more consistent routine. Your...
