MediMike Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hahaha! That's why I started it off with an apology. I the past timelines prove true and they do give 2wks notice I'm guessing we'll be hearing towards the 3rd week of this month. Keep thinking there's something I'm missing or should be working on...Unfortunately I can't think of anything! Gonna head out in the woods for a couple days to relax, of course then I'll just be freaking out about my lack of cell coverage/email access haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Oh boy it is good to hear that I am not alone : ) ..... I am a total and complete basket case and when I saw your thread I thought....Oh geeez! I am hoping that we will all hear something in the next few weeks. Good Luck to all of us!

Tracie A. Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 My heart lurches each time I see this thread at the top with an unread message.... and just by saying that I have caused someone else's heart to skip a beat! Curses! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcpaim Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Looks like we're all waiting in anticipation:) So how about meeting some of your fellow Yakima applicants and getting to know each other sooner? Feel free to let others know. Selah Library is now the only library with meeting space. No reservations needed, just show up. See you there! Sat. Nov. 24, 1-2 pm Selah Library- meeting room (under MEDEX) 106 South Second Street (First St. in Yakima leads to First St. in Selah; make a Left at Naches and 1st, and another L at the Ford dealership- assuming you're coming from Yakima) 509-698-7345 http://www.yvl.org/libraries/branchhours.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted November 13, 2012 Author Share Posted November 13, 2012 If I make it back from the west side in time I will be there, thanks for organizing MCP! And of course weather permitting...talking about a pretty gnarly cold front coming in, hope it's a lie. Already had our summer wrecked with the fires, losing fall to snow. Makes me sad!

ToppDog Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 If you can do it I would. We did it for some of us here on the wet side of the state already & it was great to meet some fellow applicants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 If I lived on the Eastside I would be there in a minute, but sadly I am a Westside girl! If me theory is in anyway, shape or form, or even remotely close, I would think that they would be gathering applicants for the Yakima site within the next few weeks.....so an interview date might be something like December 1st or 8th, Tacoma following that and Alaska in January. I think that the UW breaks for the holidays around the 17th of December and doesn't resume classes until somewhere around the 7th of January. Certainly they will want to have things darn near wrapped up by then........right???? ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I just wish they'd hurry up...I'm doing the no-shave Movember deal and would LOVE an excuse to shave this damn itchy beard...Add in the fact that my original ginger coloring now apparently has this "grey" in it...Disappointing haha :) I will definitely try to make it, so of all of you who ARE applying to the Yakima campus, what's your story? I'm a 30y/o medic, been in and out of EMS for around 10 years or so, living up in Wenatchee at the moment. Ready to move on to the next phase, very tired of just stabilizing patients, want to start fixing things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToppDog Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I'm a former army medic/urology tech. After 3 years I got out & worked as a CNA & MA for more than twenty years, with about half of that in primary care, & the other half in specialties. And, for the last 3 years I have also been teaching medical assisting in the evenings. I'm 45 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asterlington Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I am 46 year old female, I have worked for 15 years as a Medical Assistant primarily in the OBGYN field, currently working in Microbiology for Multicare. I left my full time position 3 yrs ago to finally pursue my own schooling and am thrilled to actually be at this point! I have spent lots of time shadowing Primary Care PA's and done a bit with a local Cardio Thoracic group (I don't think that I emphasized that enough on my application but oh well). I selected Yakima as my 1st choice but live in Gig Harbor, a bedroom community to Tacoma, when asked, I indicated that I would be interested in the Tacoma site. Ultimately, I hope to work and live on the Eastside somewhere, but who knows. MediMike.....it all starts in the beard, then the eyes go and before you know it, you find yourself wondering WTF??? Who is that person in the mirror?! Haha..... Cheers friends! It is my sincere wish that in time all of our paths will cross! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 I spent a number of years growing up in Gig Harbor, lovely town, although last time I went by it had grown up quite a bit! Believe me, the eyes are on their way haha...I find myself picking up medications and doing the whole closer-far away thing as I try to read them. Really sneaks up on ya! Sounds like a great mix of experiences here, looking forward to meeting everyone (hopefully) on the 24th!

asterlington Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yes MediMike, Gig Harbor has grown-up quite a bit! We have lived here for 17 yrs and seen lots of changes!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediMike Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Let me know where everyone is planning on staying the night before, it will be easier if we all have our panic attacks in one place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediMike Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 And CG I haven't heard anything, I'm guessing they'll take care of Tacoma first? Pure speculation on my part, if I hear anything I'll pass it your way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
