  1. TIPS on getting into nursing school

    Seattlemamalama replied to banfftank8's topic in General Students

    That's reasonable. Just wanted to let you know, northwest university in Kirkland takes applicants even past the priority deadline (which was in January I think) on a first come, first serve basis....

  2. ATI med surg proctored exam?

    Seattlemamalama replied to rosieb1's topic in General Students

    No there aren't really any topics that I could suggest to focus on. Maybe brush up on NG tubes and trachs... And a little on the Chem levels like BUN, creatinine, sodium, ect... 1 math question. 2or...

  3. TIPS on getting into nursing school

    Seattlemamalama replied to banfftank8's topic in General Students

    I'm confused at to why you didn't get in. I would apply to UW if I were you. They generally take stats like you'd from what I read. Northwest university is pretty easy to get

  4. ATI med surg proctored exam?

    Seattlemamalama replied to rosieb1's topic in General Students

    I took both earlier this week. I found the med-surg ATI to be more difficult. It did do the practice test which helped some but not

  5. Starting nursing school with a 3 year old

    Seattlemamalama replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can totally do it! It it will probably come as a blessing because it gives you a break from the kids for a little. I have a 3 year old, almost 2 year old and a 3 month old. You can do

  6. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Seattlemamalama replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    I wish I wrote my ideas as elegantly as the poster above me, however I still do not regret what I

  7. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Seattlemamalama replied to gj101's topic in General Students

    I wish I had the time to read through all the comments however my 3 month old just fell asleep and I have to start studying (it's 11pm BTW). If it helps at all I am a Christian and believe in the...

  8. Can a nursing student transfer schools?

    Seattlemamalama replied to bobbabo's topic in General Students

    To be a little more specific, you can transfer schools while doing prerequisites. And like the previous poster said, not all classes might transfer and it could happen that you would need to repeat...

  9. What is passing for your nursing program?

    Seattlemamalama replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    No way... That's crazy

  10. Does Percocet make someone itch?

    Seattlemamalama replied to tsm007's topic in Patient Medications

    Percocet makes me itch, but only very mildly. I would feel it just as the drug hits it's onset time. The itching never really bothered me though, only my face would get itchy and more so my cheeks. I...

  11. What is passing for your nursing program?

    Seattlemamalama replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

    My BSN program requires 80% and a GPA maintained above a 3.0 at all times. An A is 94%+ so basically it's almost impossible to get an A. A B- is like 84%-80% and is 2.8 grade points so we need to stay...

  12. Clinical instructor keeps handing out clinical warnings?

    Seattlemamalama replied to lilfayfay's topic in General Students

    I didn't read the thread because I don't have time to but I don't think it was right. It seems this instructor is primarily working through military/ scare tactic. The school setting should be a safe...

  13. Why are students stealing my food?!

    Seattlemamalama replied to littleINlpn's topic in School

    Coming from a big family I learned how to defend my food. Now if I were you I would call the little squirt into your office during lunch and lick your food in from of them. Pretend like it's normal....

  14. LPN or BSN

    Seattlemamalama replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    ...shoot myth or not I am not going to risk it, I'm getting my BSN I prefer the role of a RN either

  15. LPN or BSN

    Seattlemamalama replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    Phasing out of LPN is not a myth. Some areas might still heavily utilities them but only for so much longer.... Given some more time and they won't be able to hold their own ground anymore. Since the...

  16. Myths About Midwifery

    Seattlemamalama replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I didn't read the whole thread but I just have to say I love my CNM! So she's obviously a ARNP and has the education that makes me feel safe she knows what she's doing. I prefer her by far than any...

  17. Starting nursing school with a 3 year old

    Seattlemamalama replied to linzipinzi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 3 year old (just turned 3 this week), a 19 month old, and a newborn:dummy1: and I'm in my second semester in a BSN program. It's possible as long as your determined. I'm not the smartest...

  18. LPN or BSN

    Seattlemamalama replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    P.S. I have nothing against LPNs. I know many LPNs personally and I love them dearly... My own mother is one. But all of them have always encouraged students to seek a RN degree instead of LPN and...

  19. LPN or BSN

    Seattlemamalama replied to ahhlexxx3's topic in General Students

    Skip the LPN... You will waste your time and money. Consider a BSN first or an ASN second. I would never consider an LPN degree if your young and able to commit to a BSN or associates program. In...

  20. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Seattlemamalama replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    You mean to tell me that yawning movement is normal? I'm asking seriously (nursing student) my second child would do this all the time, especially when she was sick. I had the exact same situation you...

  21. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    Seattlemamalama replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Lol, I've been in this same situation MANY times. So

  22. Unsure in my first semester

    Seattlemamalama replied to Moonlightstar's topic in General Students

    I don't know how to put this nicely and in a way for you to understand me correctly.... I'm reading a lot of "I want...," "I don't wanna," "I want this and this and this." Do you think your probably...

  23. Nursing School and motherhood

    Seattlemamalama replied to shantelmorgan's topic in General Students

    Mine are so young (3 under 3) that I count on them forgetting. For my oldest I take time for the little things like listening to her when she wants to whisper in my ear or to following her when she...

  24. Getting in with poor grades but high test scores.

    Seattlemamalama replied to jr307's topic in School, College Programs

    I agree with the previous posters. Go do your prerequisites at a community college and get excellent grades in those classes. This will save you a ton of money and will not have a big negative effect...

  25. Schools for students who dropped out of a nursing program

    Seattlemamalama replied to male2bnurse0's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure what area you are from however on the west coast a 3.0 is not a decent GPA. Every program I'm looked into requires a minimum 3.0 to apply. A decent GPA would be something above a 3.5 in...
