  1. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Black or white shoes. Most people either wear Dansko type shoes or leather tennis shoes. The shoes can have some color, like stripes or something, but the main colors have to be black or white. The...

  2. 6 Hour Lecture?!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to NiftyGirl2014's topic in General Students

    Snacks, a big water bottle, and definitely get up and move around on any breaks you

  3. University of Washington foreign language???

    Jenngirl34RN replied to seattlepre-nursing's topic in School, College Programs

    You may want to post future inquiries about WA schools in the Washington section, rather than in the General Nursing Student section. You will probably get more

  4. University of Washington foreign language???

    Jenngirl34RN replied to seattlepre-nursing's topic in School, College Programs

    The UW does have a language requirement. Did you take a language in high schoo? Two years of a language in high school will satisfy the requirement, or two quarters of college language class. It is...

  5. Advice needed!! Lazy peer!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    You should take this as a great time to learn to be more assertive. It is definitely something you should learn soon, before you start clinicals. This person should no be asking you to help her...

  6. Blood pressure cuff?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I got a cute one from

  7. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am not really into e-books, but if you are go for it. The Med-surg book is gigantic, so you might look at that one. Other than that, they are all pretty much just standard textbooks, so it really...

  8. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Those are almost all of the books you will need for the program. Each quarter you will need to get one or two more, but you won't have to buy nine of them at once again :) You will end up with a...

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    It isn't the school you need to worry about, it is the clinical sites. Some of the will accept a waiver and some will also require you to wear a mask the entire time you are there if you do not get...

  10. Microbiology help

    Jenngirl34RN replied to astate2009's topic in General Students

    Does your school have a science tutoring center or something where you can ask for help? If not, maybe ask your professor if there are any A students who may be willing to do some

  11. Ill before 1st Peds clinical day :(

    Jenngirl34RN replied to SopranoKris's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your clinical instructor and ask how s/he wants you to handle

  12. What to wear to lab/clinical training.

    Jenngirl34RN replied to studentnursemon86's topic in General Students

    We can wear our street clothes to lab, with our lab jacket and badge over them. Flip flops are a BIG no no. Only closed-toe shoes, non-slip are allowed for safety reasons. The instructor has sent...

  13. Low impact student?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to trudeyRN's topic in General Students

    I agree with all of the advice above. I would also that you should do everything you can to research the drugs you will be giving or the procedures you may be doing with you patient, do not ever be...

  14. Almost Done - Except Sick

    Jenngirl34RN replied to bagface's topic in General Students

    My program doesn't have a set limit on what you can miss, just that if it is excessive enough that our clinical instructor feels you aren't meeting the objectives for the quarter you will have to...

  15. Nursing School Makeup (clinicals)

    Jenngirl34RN replied to NurseYomi's topic in General Students

    My program states is natural looking make-up only. In my case, I wear tinted moisturizer, one coat of mascara, and chapstick. A couple of the women in the program wear a little more, but our...

  16. Medical Surgical Resources

    Jenngirl34RN replied to randa77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A good NCLEX review book with questions is what I recommend. I use Saunders, and have found it really helpful. The online resources that come with the book have been really helpful when studying for...

  17. Pneumonia Priority Nursing Diagnoses

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Mancoww's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It is tough to do care plans when you are working off a scenario and not with an actual patient you can assess, but this one seems fairly straightforward. Think about what is happening when someone...

  18. Do you use this?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Students

    I would wait to see what your clinical instructor and/or the facility you will be in requires. I have had different instructors require different things, and one of the facilities I was at has...

  19. Which prereqs are the most relevant to nursing?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to lux libertas's topic in General Students

    All of them, really. My program did not have an intro to nursing class, but all of the others are very relevant to nursing school. Stats is probably the one I use the least, as so far it has really...

  20. Nursing School Orientation Day

    Jenngirl34RN replied to guest07/14/15's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't expect to get any supplies. Orientation is mostly about outlining expectations for the program, telling you how clinicals will work, giving you some tips on how to succeed, and maybe a...

  22. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    You really do not need a typewriter. I am not sure where that idea came from. Any forms that you will need to type are PDF or Word Docs and can be done on the

  23. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't think any of us have used typewriters for any our clinical paperwork. Some of them are in PDF form and can be filled in on the computer, and others can be neatly filled in by hand. I...

  24. What Do You Eat?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    I have a really hard time eating super early in the morning, so I force myself to get at least a little something like a granola bar or a piece of toast down. I am lucky in that we have to take our...

  25. Fluid & Electrolyte balance signs/symptoms

    Jenngirl34RN replied to pedro.tayama's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay, I tried a few times, but my lovely chart example would not format anything like I wanted it to. Basically, I just made a chart.
