  1. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 posted a topic in School, College Programs

    Any fellow applicants to Pierce College in Puyallup? This is the first time I'm applying to nursing school, and I understand that the application process has changed a bit from past years. What'd you...

  2. Is this a good idea?

    Veigar3 replied to darwilson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a similar situation as you - $40,000 in student loan debt from my BA, 3.09 GPA with a 4.0 in prerequisite classes. My hope is getting accepted into an ADN program, work and pay off my debt...

  3. No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    Veigar3 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    That is my career goal as well: ER NP or trauma NP. And I've been leaning towards a dual cert FNP/AG-ACNP program too. However, the PA program in my city is soon switching from a bachelor's to...

  4. No RN experence NP "non-nurse"

    Veigar3 replied to Malenurse1235954's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Sure, and some PA programs don't even require HCE. But, to be fair, PA students go through about 2,000 hours of clinical hours during their program compared to only ~700 in NP programs. As someone...

    Veigar3 replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Washington Nursing

    Nurse tech jobs are always on-call, meaning you basically work when you

  6. Tacoma Community College Nursing

    Veigar3 replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Washington Nursing

    ADN-BSN-MN study option | UW Tacoma This is the link to that ADN-BSN-MSN option at UWT. Anyone else anxious to hear back from

  7. "Due to health problems..."

    Veigar3 posted a topic in General Students

    I've seen several people post on here about receiving bad test grades or even GRE scores "due to health problems." I don't understand that. Anyone else think that's BS? I don't want to be...

  8. Direct Entry MSN VS DNP

    Veigar3 replied to SeattleStudent123's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would argue that you are more pigeon-holed as an NP than PA. You are required to choose a population area to specialize in as an NP - family, adult, pediatric, neonatal, etc. For instance, if you...

  10. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    I got denied as well. I have to say that I'm very surprised. Good luck to those who haven't

  11. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    For Pierce, I believe the only things that are worth points are the functional resume, essay, and Kaplan scores. And there are bonus points for a statistics class and two years if foreign language....

  12. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm sorry to hear that you guys. Well, TCC's nursing application opens up in a few days on the first, so apply there definitely. Good luck to you both. I still haven't received a call and I've been...

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    It really sucks being at work right now. Haha. Congratulations to those accepted, I am envious! I wonder if all the calls are going out

  14. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    Anyone get a call yet? Also, what other schools have you guys applied to, or will apply to? I'll apply to TCC this

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    Only one cohort per year for fall

  16. CNA Salaries

    Veigar3 replied to Sashakay's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am paid $15.79/hour before shift differentials and on-call pay (15% extra). I'm a new CNA in a hospital in WA. Strong nursing unions in this state. Most of the CNAs in my department make over...

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    Same! Haha. Looks like be getting calls next

  18. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    I have an old email saying that everyone will receive a call around May

  19. When are you officially a nursing student?

    Veigar3 replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in General Students

    Taking nursing prerequisite classes does not make you a nursing student, similar to how someone earning their bachelor's degree and will apply to medical school is not a medical student. Student...

  20. Should I even bother???

    Veigar3 replied to merchan5967's topic in Nursing Career

    Go to PA school instead! You'd be a great

  21. Pierce College, Puyallup 2016

    Veigar3 replied to Veigar3's topic in School, College Programs

    No kidding, I'm eager to hear back. I heard that all applicants will receive a phone call, to tell us if we're accepted or rejected, in late May. The functional resume was weird, I agree. I sort of...

  22. Tacoma Community College Nursing

    Veigar3 replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Washington Nursing

    Something neat about UWT is that if you graduate from TCC's or Pierce's RN program with a 3.7 or above, you'll be eligible to transfer into UWT's RN-BSN-MSN program. It's a cool thing, I think. My...

  23. Alternative ways to get into a provider role?

    Veigar3 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    You could also become a prosthetist/orthotist, though you may have to relocate since there are relatively few programs (master degree). I've look at UW's but decided it wasn't for

  24. Looking for opinions on school

    Veigar3 replied to Thujone's topic in Male Nursing Students

    If you're an RN, you can still work in the field on an ambulance, if you're that worried about your pride. CCRNs in ambulance services make a good living, and you'd pretty much be in charge. In some...

  25. Alternative ways to get into a provider role?

    Veigar3 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I know in WA, naturopathic doctors are pretty much restricted to private practice. But there is a great school called Bastyr University here for those interested in Eastern medicine or naturopathic...
