  1. Reserves Nursing

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Government, Military

    Thanks for the response, I figured that might be the case and have looked into ICU & ER positions already locally. The "I can't relocate" is more on a permanent basis. My husband has an amazing...

    krrbrr posted a topic in Government, Military

    I'm looking for information on the different branches for Reserves. I currently work at an ASC as an OR Charge Nurse and am wanting to branch into the military setting. Experience 9 months med/surg1...

  4. Entry level positions as ED/ER Tech?

    krrbrr replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in Washington Nursing

    NAC is just what WA state calls their CNA's :) I don't know the specifics on why the name/acronym is different, but it is the same thing! NAC=Nursing Assistant - Certified. So as long as you use a...

  5. Entry level positions as ED/ER Tech?

    krrbrr replied to Oxygenforeverybody's topic in Washington Nursing

    Since you already have prior medical experience and if you're not working I would highly suggest looking into one of the faster paced programs so that you can get your license ASAP. The one I attended...

  6. From night shift nursing to Fitness Model

    krrbrr replied to laurendrainfit's topic in General Nursing

    This post was extremely inspiring!!! I have been attempting to lose weight for going on 5 years now and while I have made a downward progress (lost 50 lbs!) I am still far from my end goal. I...

  7. Help relocating to Dupont WA

    krrbrr replied to lauris4luv's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm still a student, so I'm unsure of pay or job availability in itself, but I'll share what I do know. Dupont itself doesn't have anything much to offer nurses (only a few doctors offices). You'll...

    krrbrr replied to Cynthiahatespatho's topic in General Students

    hang in there!!! My program hasn't even started yet and I already feel overwhelmed and extremely anxious as well. I've considered asking my Dr for anxiety meds as well, but am afraid it might mess...

  9. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    krrbrr replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    My class doesn't start until the 21st and I am EXTREMELY nervous! More than anything I've been trying to look up ways on how to reduce stress and anxiety so that I have a game plan for when I do get...

  10. 2015 Nursing School Applicants (all)

    krrbrr posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I remembered seeing a similar thread for 2014 and thought it would be fun to meet up with others who are at the same point in their journey to make some friends! What classes/entrance exams do...

  11. Centralia College starting Fall '15

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Washington Nursing

  12. Centralia College starting Fall '15

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Washington Nursing

    ddfg34, did you ever decide which school you'll be attending? Someone from SPSCC called me yesterday since I had been holding off on sending my response until I knew CC received mine! Have you gotten...

  13. looking for ADN or BSN nursing program in pacific north west

    krrbrr replied to snowlover10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    South Puget Sound Community College and Tacoma Community College are both lotteries (although higher grades + certifications, etc do give you an advantage and minimum grades are required for certain...

  14. Centralia College starting Fall '15

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Washington Nursing

    It was a tough call! For me it ended up being a comfort decision more than anything. I ended up making a spreadsheet to compare the two and it really came down to whichever one I wanted! I was unable...

  15. SPSCC Fall '15

    krrbrr posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    I received my acceptance yesterday! I'll be honest though and was not expecting to get into this program since it's a lottery now and I did not take any of my courses there. I'm still waiting to hear...

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Washington Nursing

    Centralia College it is, starting a new thread so we don't confuse people too much when they look at this hah. FYI Lisa, 3 of the people I know of were also accepted into SPSCC, so that's 3 spots...

  22. SPSCC Fall '15

    krrbrr replied to krrbrr's topic in Washington Nursing

    I happen to live a tad farther from Centralia mileage wise, but with SPSCC I'd have to drive across Lacey/Olympia to get there so it evens out as far as time goes. I've been trying to find people in...
