  5. I lost my empathy

    SeattleJess replied to Bronte03's topic in General Nursing

    Self-empathy always comes first. Heal thyself! So sorry you had to be pushed over your limit to find it. I doubt anyone can keep up with constant abuse from authority without cracking. Believe me, you...

  9. Last chance to pass :(

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

    I feel you! I had such huge test anxiety that I failed my first state CNA test. The testing cite was kind of ratty and I was interrupted mid-procedure during catheter care when another student had to...

  10. About That Avatar...

    SeattleJess replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Just another dead horse checking in here to say, "THANKS, Ruby!" I had just put an actual photo up for my avatar, then stumbled across this post. Like others, I thought, "I'll never say anything I'm...

  11. What inspired you to be a nurse?

    SeattleJess replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Easy! The nurses I met, just the BEST people ever. I wanted to be like them and around them. Add to that the chance to have intellectual AND physical work, the broad range of opportunities in the...

  12. 1st semester 4.0

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

  13. Want to be a nurse!! but Im 50 !!

    SeattleJess replied to IslandGirl#1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, all you spring chickens. I'll be 62 when I take my boards. IslandGirl#1, I believe the hardest obstacle either of us will face is probably the self-generated fear thoughts about being too old!...

    SeattleJess replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Paws2people, where do you live and work? Maybe I'll move

  15. Should I get 6 mo-1 yr experience before applying for hospital?

    SeattleJess replied to mee9mee9's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Here in Seattle every single hospital CNA job requires at least 6 months experience. I can see why - a hospital requires maximum skill and productivity and bottom line, breaking in a new CNA is more...

  16. Taking ownership of pts

    SeattleJess replied to newrnltc's topic in General Nursing

    The students may have been defensive and afraid. Perhaps that explains their rudeness and denial. That said, I don't think you're overreacting at all. I'm inexperienced so I can't speak to how some...

  17. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    No, just one paperback textbook. I rented mine from Bookrenters. It wasn't anything I wanted to keep. Heads up, you will need to write a personalized "intercultural journal." Stephanie gives you the...

  18. Shoreline Fall 2014

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

    Tripleoxer, thank you SO MUCH for the book suggestions! I'm heading to Amazon right now. Also, thanks for the advice about NURS 095. I don't think I'll need the support as much as the info and I'd...

  19. Shoreline Fall 2014

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

    I looked at the bookstore, selected fall term and nursing and ended up here: Search by Course | Buy Textbooks | Shoreline Community College Bookstore? For each class I selected, I got a message that...

  21. Yikes (First Teas Practice Test)

    SeattleJess replied to TexRN's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I raised my TEAS scores quite a bit after taking my first practice test just to assess my knowledge AND test-taking ability. Part (but not all) of the TEAS is learning to the test. My advice on...

  22. Shoreline Fall 2014

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

    Optional class it is, tripleoxer! I admit, I was wondering whether it would be worth driving in to the college for an extra day. Coulda had Monday without driving. Are the first quarter clinicals...

  23. How to deal with angry doctors

    SeattleJess replied to ann915's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So sorry this happened to you! You are not the one with the problem; the doc is. That is one of the hardest lessons for me to learn in life. I am an overly responsible caregiver. As such, I'm often...

  24. Shoreline Fall 2014

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

    So it looks as if there are only 12 required credits for fall quarter? Are you thinking of taking the optional critical thinking
