  1. Verification of Medication

    Jenngirl34RN replied to EHGWR's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That would not be the one I would pick. Do you have a good drug book? Look up each drug and figure out if any of them are high alert meds and why. That should help you figure out your

  2. Online 5 credit math classes?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to AGCupcake's topic in Washington Nursing

    Bellevue College has 5 credit online math classes. Most require proctored exams, but will let you use your own proctor if you can't make it to the campus...the instructor will tell you how to set...

  3. Anyone else apply to Bellevue or Seattle Central??

    Jenngirl34RN replied to cupkate255's topic in Washington Nursing

    You have no say in your instructors. You have a theory class, a lab class, and a clinical. Everyone on your cohort is in the same theory class, and you get a new clinical instructor every quarter....

  4. Cost of living

    Jenngirl34RN replied to JRich's topic in Washington Nursing

    It really depends on the area you are looking at and the size of the apartment you

  5. Anyone else apply to Bellevue or Seattle Central??

    Jenngirl34RN replied to cupkate255's topic in Washington Nursing

    None of the Bellevue instructors are bad per se. Most of them are very hard and pretty strict in their expectations, but they are all (at least all that I have had so far- and I am in 3rd quarter)...

  6. Credits from CNA classes to RN program

    Jenngirl34RN replied to angela82's topic in General Students

    I got college credit for my CNA class, as I took it through my school, but those credits did not count towards my degree in any way. We had to take a CNA course as pre-req for the RN program, but it...

  7. Veterans Health Culture

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Band Geek's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Google is not usually the best place to find sources for nursing projects. Try CINAHL (a database of nursing articles). Your school should have access. Also, try contacting your local VA. They...

  8. Assessing Each Other??!??

    Jenngirl34RN replied to FutureMaleOhioNurse's topic in General Students

    A huge portion of assessment is asking questions, and that is sort of impossible to do with a mannequin. In my program we practiced on each other, but were not required to remove clothing. Even...

  9. Cost of living

    Jenngirl34RN replied to JRich's topic in Washington Nursing

    Overall, Seattle is a pretty safe city- I think we are like the 4th or 5th safest large city according to Forbes (I think it was Forbes, anyways). I do still recommend talking to a realtor because,...

  10. Microsoft Office

    Jenngirl34RN replied to mmcc01's topic in General Students

    All of those programs are pretty simple once you get the basics down. I worked in a corporate office for a long time and had to use all of them on a regular basis. If you struggle with anything,...

  11. Cost of living

    Jenngirl34RN replied to JRich's topic in Washington Nursing

    In downtown Seattle, you will be lucky to find a decent apartment in a good area for that. You can find studios for around there, but they go pretty quick. One tip for your search...West Seattle is...

  12. Has your clinical instructor helped you or held you back?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to nowim clean's topic in General Students

    For my program it depends on the clinical instructor and the facility. Mostly, if we get checked off we are allowed to do most things as long as the facility we are in allows it. For example, the...

  13. I feel like it's the end

    Jenngirl34RN replied to demeanor89's topic in General Students

    Do you have the Saunder's NCLEX review book? It has a ton of practice questions, and there is an online resource thing that has even more

  14. I want to adopt a dog from a shelter

    Jenngirl34RN replied to alexhecht's topic in General Students

    I usually leave my dog outside, but I have a big fenced yard and a big covered porch that is protected from the elements. I say go for getting a dog if it will make you happy, as long as you will be...

  15. Did you get to choose your Clinicals site/schedule?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Stacilator's topic in General Students

    We have absolutely no say in clinical placements, and were told before we even started the program that making sure we are available for whichever clinical rotation we are assigned is our...

  16. Is it really that bad?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    It can be really intense. There is so much you have to learn a very little amount of time and you have to adjust your learning to be able to answer the style of questions asked, which is different...

  17. Do you go to nursing school everyday or just two times a week?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in General Students

    My schedule varies. The first 5 weeks of the quarter we do not have clinicals. Those weeks we usually have two or three days of lecture class and 1 lab class day and 1 lab skills testing day. There...

  18. Nursing School changing criteria to pass classes

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    In my program the exam scores have to average to 78%. Clinicals and Lab are pass/fail, but in order to pass you have to get at least 80%. If you fail a class, you can reapply to the program for the...

  19. I'm sick, but should I miss clinical?

    Jenngirl34RN replied to haileyjewell's topic in General Students

    I agree with everyone else...the last thing the patients in the hospital need is for you to bring them some nasty stomach thing. Depending on what your patient has going on your bug could be very...

  20. Journal Articles

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Ladyt03's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school library has a site where students can access the online search engines from home. All we need to access EBSCOhost and JSTOR (which are very useful search tools that give us access to...

  21. Bellevue College hopefuls 2014-2015

    Jenngirl34RN replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Just so you guys know...last year the notifications went out mid-May, so if you don't hear by April, don't freak out like we all did last year :) Good luck to all of

  22. Nursing school test

    Jenngirl34RN replied to springchick's topic in General Students

    The only fill-in-the-blank questions we get in my program are med admin questions. Everything else is either multiple choice or select all that

  23. March 2014 Caption Contest: Win $100!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    I said I needed more time to get everything done...this is not what I had in

  24. Three months to kill before Nursing School... what to do

    Jenngirl34RN replied to Myoclonicjerk's topic in General Students

    Spend time with your friends and family, because once you start you will probably be spending far less time with them. Relax and have

  25. First Clinicals; what to bring?!

    Jenngirl34RN replied to adnstudent44's topic in General Students

    Tape and bandage scissors, and since you are working with the elderly and they have fragile skin, I would make it paper tape. I always carry a small flip notebook in my pocket so that I don't forget...
