  1. HELP: In Need of a Nice Tote/Bag for Clinicals

    Traveler5 replied to FayLynn87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I bought a 'business' style tote and it's ok. I liked that there were dividers in it but I now hate that the middle divider is a pocket. I want to keep some things zipped up, but it ends up bulging...

  2. CNA/Tech Experience for UWOSH

    Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in General Nursing

    If the rest of your application is strong I don't think it would be a breaking point. They accept a large variety of back grounds. The only thing about the adult care is that it would make clinicals...

  3. Tell me of Eau Claire

    Traveler5 replied to William2's topic in General Nursing

    I love Eau Claire. There is a lot to do. Check out Volume one online. It's an online magazine and let's you know everything that is happening in town. Don't forget it is only a short drive to the...

  4. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in General Nursing

    It's kind of cool they are letting in wait list people for the next term. I'm sure it's easier for them, and less annoying for those who got in because you don't need to reapply! They are still...

  5. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to everyone who got in! And if you got waitlisted, don't give up hope! People can and do chose to go to other schools so it's not impossible. And if you didn't get in remember you can always...

  6. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in General Nursing

    Be yourself. If you are being interviewed it means you are paper qualified so don't worry about that anymore. Think of it as a conversation, not an

  7. UWOSH Accelerated Nursing May 2016 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to GrenIedGal's topic in General Nursing

    This was me. Yes, the capstone is 9/26 to 10/7 for my cohort. Sorry about that. As for wanting a schedule, you should get a tentative schedule when you are offered admission so that you know the...

  8. UW-Oshkosh Accelerated BSN - May 2015 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to PacificRim's topic in General Nursing

    I am. I start my 3rd class tomorrow! I'm not positive what my overall transfer GPA was but I only had 1 B in my pre-req courses. I didn't have a ton of CNA experience at the time of my application...

  9. UW-Oshkosh Accelerated BSN - May 2015 Cohort

    Traveler5 replied to PacificRim's topic in General Nursing

    Good luck guys! I can't even explain the excitement I felt when I got my acceptance. I sympathize with you all now on applying, it's a lot to get done! I'm happy they took out the recommendation...

  10. UW Oshkosh Accelerated Program Fall 2015

    Traveler5 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everyone, I am currently working towards the pre-req requirements for the UW Oshkosh accelerated program (I was 'too' chemistry in my 1st degree) and was just looking to see if anyone else is...

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This is a part of why I decided to go into this field vs other healthcare

  12. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Plus both are forms of public service and you have common experiences to bond

  13. Poll: Nurse and law enforcement couples

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Really? Never heard that stereotype. Not my experience at all. And I was friends with several people in the police field before dating one working in the

    Traveler5 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    My SO is a deputy sheriff. Was not pursuing nursing when we met but I am now. I know several cups married to nurses or

  15. New to night shift

    Traveler5 replied to USMCRN2015's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I sleep more on night shift that on days. I keep the same sleeping schedule all the time though. I really hate switching back and forth. It just kills my mood and I'm in a fog the days i try and stay...

  16. Best Shoe Brand for Wide Feet

    Traveler5 posted a topic in General Students

    I start nursing school soon and while I do not need shoes for clinical right away I want to make sure I have the money when I need them (I hear they can be spendy), but there are so many shoes out...

  17. Best Shoe Brand for Wide Feet

    Traveler5 replied to Traveler5's topic in General Students

    Good shoes are totally worth the money. The replaceable insole seems like a nice feature. I will definitely try some on. Lucky for me I live near a huge shoe store that stocks them (per the brand's...

  18. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Traveler5 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I feel bad people are harping on your about you blaming your mom for the permit, if anything that's probably the only thing she is at fault for. Doesn't a parent have to sign for an underage person to...

  19. Should I tell the truth about graduating to get a job?

    Traveler5 replied to NurseBaby88's topic in General Students

    Unless they ask you don't really have to. If your schooling is on your resume though, it is likely to come up. But, being a soon-to-be graduate might actually help you get the job. It's nice for...

  21. Any UW Oshkosh Accelerated Nursing May 2015 Cohort Students Doing Clinicals in Oregon?

    Traveler5 replied to cjatchis's topic in General Nursing

    I'd really love to hear your thoughts on the program now that you are a couple months in. Anything you wish you knew when you were in my spot and a few months away from starting? Any tips or tricks...

  22. Any UW Oshkosh Accelerated Nursing May 2015 Cohort Students Doing Clinicals in Oregon?

    Traveler5 replied to cjatchis's topic in General Nursing

    The application asks for 2 locations. It can be any 2 places you want. If you are thinking a different state then I would just double check the program is allowed in that state. Approved States...

  23. Quit during orientation

    Traveler5 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    I live near a bigger city in the midwest and it starts around 30 depending on the facility/setting that you get hired into. I know in Northern Misconsin/Minnesota it's more like 20. So it does vary a...

  24. Quit during orientation

    Traveler5 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Never said it was about the money. I don't enjoy what I do, at all. I got the CNA job to help me get into nursing school, to make a little side cash, and have

  25. Quit during orientation

    Traveler5 replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    We work with very different types of men then. Maybe it's an area thing, because I know employers who have specifically hired only women because they don't complain about needing to clean a bathroom...
