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 job here and I don't want to disrupt his job. Howeve...

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 year OR1 year PACU/Pre-Op/OR at an ASCI am currentl...

Here we go guys! I won't be able to attend orientation and will have to pick up my packet and meet with them the following week, but I look forward to meeting everyone!

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 school listed in my post above you'll be on the right...

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 was 3-4 weeks long (Tues-Fri 8am-2:30pm, but they...

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 appreciate all the details you put into this post and I wi...

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 need to look into Olympia, Tacoma, or work on base ...

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 with my performance once school starts. For now I'm t...

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 overwhelmed in the program! Good luck to everyone w...

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 you have left? I'm currently halfway through Wint...

easier said than done! LOL I think I'm freaking out more since I know I won't be at orientation and I'm very afraid that I'll miss out on hearing something!

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 your hep B vaccination yet FNP? I'm going to get ...

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 classes).

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 to find anyone who had specifically participated ...

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 back from Centralia College (where I took my pre-r...

Yes! :)

I won't be at orientation sadly! I will definitely be there the first day of class though, see you soon!

totally understandable! Good luck to you and I hope you make it in!

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 opening up already! We're most likely not the only one...

okay just an FYI to anyone else breezing through this thread, according to WGU they will accept credits from both schools to contribute towards their RN-BSN program. This morning I plan on contacting Centralia College to see if they will work with m...

I'm really not sure Tonim228, I would try to contact the Financial Aid office and ask them! Everyone at the school is usually very nice and eager to help.

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 the programs, but haven't been able to find anyone ...

grats!!!!! I know most of the people I took pre-req's with @ Centralia got in as well! You two can feel free to make a new thread for Centralia College! :) I'm afraid to before I make a decision for sure!

fancy seeing you here!!!! grats once again!!! I'm going to join up with this group as well! Looking forward to our futures!

Same thing for Centralia College as well though. They only have state, not national so again, same boat! lol I'll try to decide by the beginning of next week so I can move forward and quit thinking about this so much!
