1. New Grad RN going into ICU - prepare?

   ZrowGz replied to ZrowGz's topic in Critical

   Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Yes, deodorant is key! Especially in the required white scrub tops. It definitely seems like it would be wise to review meds in these various categories, even if I plan on looking them up on the floor it cannot h...

2. New Grad RN going into ICU - prepare?

   ZrowGz posted a topic in Critical

   Hello! I graduated with my BSN this fall and accepted a position as an ICU nurse! I'll have a residency period where I figure I will learn how the facility wants things done and learn a lot. But, I have a month until I start and was wondering what pe...

3. Oncology ICU

   ZrowGz replied to jema1990's topic in Critical

   Hello! I was just hired as a new grad into a critical care residency that rotates through all of this hospital's ICUs, with an ONC ICU being one of the 7. Did you pursue work in this type of ICU? What was it like? Thanks!

   ZrowGz replied to ZrowGz's topic in Washington

   Thank you for the comments! Honestly, that sounds like there is basically access to everything someone could want outdoors! That's pretty awesome. The nursing staff used to have union representation, right? What kinds of changes happened surrounding ...

   ZrowGz posted a topic in Washington

   In the process of applying for jobs, I found Deaconess Hospital in Spokane. I was hoping that the community could tell me about their experiences of working at that site. Staffing, management, union related stuff. Looking at other threads, I saw tha...

6. Hurst Q-review questions

   ZrowGz replied to LMICHEL,RN2B's topic in NCLEX

   So what happened?! Did you all pass with those scores? Are those the percentages, or the number correct out of 125? They want us to be getting 84/125, which is 67%. That's a big difference between the two values I just took my first one to see wher...

   Hello to all of the up-and-coming ABSNers! I want to congratulate you all on getting into the program, and for those of you who are waitlisted, don't give up hope just yet! I am a student in the ABSN program that is going on right now. If you have a...

8. Nursing corps scholarship 2015-2016

   ZrowGz replied to Jm12345's topic in General Students

   I'm rather confused right now. There seems to be a huge disconnect between the program and the school! There are a couple current students who received this, and each year, a few people seem to always be awarded this at my school, yet the people I sp...

   I am with you on this! I was almost certain that I wasn't going to get this scholarship, but I knew that I would be upset with myself if I didn't try! When I first started the application, I didn't think my EFC was competitive at $1165, but I decided...

    mocapoca, Did you ever get a definitive answer regarding this topic? That is my plan as well. My ABSN program is only 15 months, then I'd like to be applying for DNP schools after I take my test which means that I'd want to roll straight through basi...

    ZrowGz replied to Jm12345's topic in General Students

    If it was in your application and your school certifies that you were in classes, you will get it. If you didn't put it in the application, I would guess that they won't give it to you. But, I am speculating on this. You can review your application o...

    They will backpay you for any covered costs, even if it is on a loan, back to July 1st (prorated for the summer term if it started before July 1st). I was told that once it is switched from "In Final Review" to "Participant," it will be 60 days until...

    Hopeful30: I called using the number shown on the application page, or on their website. I spoke to them for about an hour about reimbursements because my program started this summer. Since it's only five quarters, I was bracing myself to miss out on...

    Whoa! Somehow I had recently found a different topic on this same topic, but it was only a couple pages long! Was pretty surprised that it wasn't something more like this! I submitted my final documents on August 14 and am waiting now in "Under Final...
