Above is just a partial list that may point the person in the right direction--as you know, Seattle is a big place and I have not even covered the South Sound (Tacoma and Olympia). This person can always try my favorite standby website for finding nursing programs nationwide:

Good luck and happy hunting. I am a Seattle-area resident, too!

I also live in Seattle, but I think that SmilingBluEyes covered the bases in Seattle. There's Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, which is 30 minutes south of Seattle http://www.plu.edu/~nurs.

There are also several community colleges. There's Bellevue Community, across Lake Washington from Seattle.

Seattle itself has three community colleges within the city limits. Nursing is offered as well. http://seattlecolleges.com/dynamic.asp

There's Shoreline Community, just north of the city. http://www.shore.ctc.edu/shoreline/index.html

Also, the U of Washington was the first magnet hospital.

Hope this helps!

I also live in Seattle. I attended Seattle University. Now I am working at Children's.

Have her look into different programs. There are tons of different programs as mentioned above.

Good Luck!!!
