    WA Endorsement Process - Longest in the Nation???

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Washington Nursing

    Apparently there is no rhyme or reason to any of this. My permit was issued on Monday as "pending" and I was told it would take 4 additional weeks for a supervisor to make it active. Except a guy...

    Nurse Saturation

    BiscuitStripes replied to implathszombie9's topic in General Nursing

    BiscuitStripes replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Washington Nursing

    Sure thing, seems like based on them telling you Monday they were working on 8/10, it's taking a day to a day and a half to process one days worth of applications. So hopefully by early next week...

    BiscuitStripes posted a topic in General Specialties

    So do you think ER or ICU nurses use more critical thinking? Who do you think uses more knowledge of patho, pharm, disease processes, etc? Especially if you’ve worked both, I’d love your
