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...

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...

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!

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 ...

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...

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...

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...

Got the update of my portal all count being converted to a participant account! I'm a nurse corps scholar! Congrats to everyone!

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...

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...

Wow, good timing! Just got an email today saying that I am a "finalist!" From what I can find about previous years, as long as you get that email, you get the scholarship as long as you submit the requested additional documentation within their time...

Hello! I too have applied for the HRSA Nurse Corps scholarship. This is the one for entering/current undergraduate students seeking a BSN through regular or accelerated programs. From my understanding, the scholarship pays books, fees, tuition, other...

Thanks for the replies! I assume that a low income would be most beneficial, but I wonder if a moderate parental income would hurt me more. Not sure. I suppose I should just wait to complete this until the beginning of the week when I can talk to som...

Hello, I am filling out the FAFSA and was perplexed by the questions about parents portion. I am an independent as I am 28. On the application, there is the option to answer questions about my parents, totally optional. The form says that medical pro...

Yes, I totally agree. Here it is! https://www.facebook.com/groups/uwabsn2015/ Just go ahead and join that. I'll close down the page. I didn't realize there was a difference. Never made either of these before :)

Ok cohort/soon to be classmates! Here's a Facebook page. Go ahead and like it, join it, whatever it is that people do with it. Message suggestions on how it needs to be changed! I just whipped it together real quick, so it undoubtedly needs much love...

Hey! I submitted the postbacc application the first day that it was available. I also submitted all the payments as early as possible. I received the invitation for the netID from UW Admissions department, neither of the two that were mentioned... ...

Hey! I just received an email with the invitation to create the student netID, which I then did. It gave me access to myUW, but nothing else. I suppose that they will continue to expand the items which we will have access to as time goes on. For the...

Hello PLU admissions! Thank you for the clarification on this. I can set my phone down to rest now. Thank you to all of you over there for your time and help throughout the application process. It is rare to find somewhere that responds as quickly an...

Ahh! Congratulations to everyone who has been accepted so far!! Any mouse, for me, this is dragging on! I too feel like I'm holding hope even though it is one pm now! I figure that if I was going to receive a call, I would have by now! I suppose tha...
