  1. Be candid how do I handle my illnesses with regards to the BON if I get an interview.

    Journey of Hope replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being on the patient side of the chart will indeed make you an empathetic and compassionate nurse. However, I would strongly encourage you to be solid in your mental/physical recovery before starting...

  2. Shoreline Spring 2015

    Journey of Hope replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm afraid I'm not a good source for how your program will be like because I'm in the 10-quarter cohort and not the 6 quarter. My first 2 quarters are equal to the 1st quarter in the 6-quarter...

  3. Shoreline Spring 2015

    Journey of Hope replied to jayh77's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am a current student and used Health Psychology as a bonus course and it counted. I recall doing a short description, so it doesn't have to be anything lengthy or profound. :-) Good luck, y'all....

  4. Relocating to Seattle Area in Early 2015

    Journey of Hope replied to KansasNurse14's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'd say live in Vancouver, WA (cheaper costs of living and no income tax) and work in Portland (more jobs and no sales tax). Welcome to the Northwest no matter what you

  5. Where there is smoke ... there is usually a cigarette

    Journey of Hope replied to Brian's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I remember volunteering in a hospital in 1999 and that was the year the smoking room IN the hospital was discontinued. Crazy it was that

  6. Appropriate orientation attire

    Journey of Hope replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Yes, ideally, but 75% of my cohort didn't have the forms done. It was sad. Even with the threat of getting kicked out...but the school didn't follow through with that. I didn't say it was one or the...

  7. Appropriate orientation attire

    Journey of Hope replied to laurenmichelle3's topic in General Students

    Wear business clothing if you want. Most in my orientation wore jeans. It didn't matter. A bigger way to make a great first impression is to have all the required forms completed and documentation!...

  8. Shoreline Fall 2014

    Journey of Hope posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Has anyone gotten a decision letter? I called last Friday, and she said she was working on them. Anxiously

  9. Too much to handle?

    Journey of Hope replied to Nurse2BeCam's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To boost your credits up to full time, consider taking an online class. Then, you will have more flexibility and be at home more. Also, don't forget the 1 credit (1 day) CPR classes. Best

  10. Pre-med or Nursing?

    Journey of Hope replied to redhead89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I second the PA idea if you want to do actual surgery. They work with a doctor, but are highly trained. (There are neurosurgery

  11. The best planner/organizer?

    Journey of Hope replied to LPN709's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Plenty of opinions, so here is mine... Check out the Moleskine line. Very good quality. Plannerisms.com is a blog devoted to

  12. Shoreline Fall 2014

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    No need for a smartphone. :-) Not allowed in clinical. The reason I asked because some students on AN use them for looking up medications, etc. and find them to be useful (if not essential). I'm...

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Tripleoxer, I have a couple questions. What are the shoe requirements for clinical? Do you have any clinicals on the weekend? (I hope not.) Do you think a smart phone is essential? I really don't...

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Especially my long-haired calico piggies. :-) I put my own ad on Seattle Craigslist under rooms wanted. That way I was able to list exactly what I wanted and let people contact me. (They hide...

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    I didn't see your PM until now. No email about it, and not visible until I specifically looked. Room sounds good, but I have 2 guinea pigs who I'm quite attached to. I've been communicating with a...

  17. Shoreline Fall 2014

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    It went well, although I think your classmates scared us with the amount of work. It is good going into it with the right mind frame and knowing that a 4.0 likely won't happen and that is okay! My...

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm in Vancouver, WA area. I haven't been to Seattle in close to 20 years! I got my CPR renewed last week.

  19. Shoreline Fall 2014

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks for the info! You would think people who worked hard enough to get into the nursing program would get the documentation/vaccines, etc. I think I have everything ready. I was glad that my...

  22. Shoreline Fall 2014

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    Under the Nursing 10 quarter course 121, there is a list. It isn't up for your program yet (which I had not checked). I'm going to wait until after orientation to start shopping, but it is fun to...

    Journey of Hope replied to Journey of Hope's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you go to the website and look under bookstore, then textbooks, and select fall term and nursing, there is a list of textbooks. It is long. I'm buying used. This way we can shop around ahead of...
