  1. SPSCC Fall '15

    yeah sadly they're both very similar. I've made a spreadsheet to compare the two and will be sending some questions to both colleges to get responses to help me make my decision.
  2. SPSCC Fall '15

    I got mine today as wel! Grats FNP! Now how the heck am I going to decide between SPSCC and CC??? ughhhhh
  3. SPSCC Fall '15

    Just FYI two of the people I went to school with received their acceptance letters today at Centralia College. I live a bit further away so I'm guessing it just means it'll be in tomorrow. If you live closer though, I would suggest making sure to che...

    You have an awesome GPA as well! Did you get anything today? My mail was empty, going to try to keep busy and check again tomorrow!
  6. SPSCC Fall '15

    My GPA is 3.96 and I should have qualified for all the points allowed at Centralia College. I'm glad to hear that the letters have been sent out!!! I'll be making sure to check my mail tomorrow! Good luck to you all!
  7. SPSCC Fall '15

    Thanks Lisa! Hang in there on the wait list, one of my friends who attended Centralia also received an acceptance letter and we're both trying to decide which program to go with! Did you end up applying anywhere else? Thanks for the info you've heard...
  8. Preparing for A&P

    A lot of great suggestions above, but I'd like to also suggest looking through some Crash Course videos! If needed look at some of the Chemistry and Biology playlists first to brush up on some terminology, then watch the ! I did very well in A&P...
  9. Do CNA-2s exist in WA?

    I have heard the term CNA-2, but we do not have them in WA state. Instead we have a "delegation" that you can get to increase your scope (with the direction from an RN). CNA's are allowed to work in hospitals here as well, but they typically don't co...

    amazing job! You're going to make A&P II look like a cake walk!
  11. Is NAR the same as CNA

    Here in WA state a NAR is just registered with the state as having received formal training. However, a NAC is required to work at most places as it shows you have taken and passed the state test. Sadly, no one really explained this to me either and ...
  12. 2 years, all quarters I took 10 credits each except last summer and the current spring quarter where I've only taken 5 credits each.
  13. Okay, so my plan is to take the TEAS test around May 15th, that way if I need to retake it again I can by around June 15th which will give me enough time to turn in my results to the schools I applied to by June 30th (deadline). Mondays and Fridays I...
  14. Job outlook in Western Wa

    tokmom I do know Providence in Olympia and Centralia will hire new ADN's (depending on the school they're coming from), however when I turned in my nursing application to a school the administrative staff that I spoke to mentioned her daughter in law...
  15. Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    ThinBabe, do you have a CNA license yet? I struggled with some of these issues when I first started my journey 2 years ago and made the choice to start out by diving straight into CNA to see if I could handle it. Turns out that over time I felt more...
  16. To Teas or not to Teas

    Good luck! I'm sure you'll do great :)
  17. Spouse-dependent sleep

    You are all going to think my situation is very odd.... but it works wonderful for us! DH and I don't sleep together,(in the same bedroom!) so different bedtimes have never bothered us. I know we're not the first couple to come up with this idea as m...
  18. To Teas or not to Teas

    I hear you! I need to have my TEAS scores submitted by June 30th. Since I know the TEAS will be heavily weighted in my application I plan on taking my first attempt by May 15th and if needed a second by June 15th. I am determined to give myself ever...
  19. A&P 1 help

    Just keep going! The worst thing I kept seeing repeatedly in our A&P classes was burnout! People would do sooooo well, then just take a week off. That week screwed up their grade so badly that they had to drop the class. We started A&P I with...
  20. A&P 1 help

    awesome job mami!!!!! I just received my A&P II grade today and thought of you. Keep up the great work!!!
  21. To Teas or not to Teas

    I think it depends on a couple of things really. What was your score and what criteria does your school use to determine who is let in? My school has changed their acceptance this year so that anyone with a 3.5-4.0 in a pre-req course gets the exac...
  22. Should I take Medical Terminology for nursing school?

    I plan on giving this university's program a try https://www.dmu.edu/medterms/ it's free and since it's not required for my program I'd rather not pay for it! I also have a box of medical term flash cards that I plan on looking over after I finish th...
  23. First off, keep your chin up pretty lady!!! You can do this!!!!! Although I have not looked it up, from my personal experience I think Paul is right! I learn in a variety of ways, depending on the material and circumstances. Everything from flashcard...
  24. My final steps - nervous as hell

    Hang in there sweetbriar! You sound like you are a very driven person to be able to overcome those that are opposing you already. If this is what you really want, then chase those dreams girl! For me, it's when people tell me that "you're not good en...
  25. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

    sorry all, it has been a rough couple of weeks of class! GRATS to everyone that I missed though! I can't believe I'm just a few weeks away from starting my last pre-req, feels weird!
