   Hey y'all ABSN hopefuls! I made it into the ABSN '18 class! Yes, off the waitlist. Don't beat yourself up if you didn't make it in. The ABSN (and BSN) at UW is not that great at teaching you how to be a nurse. The School of Nursing (the same people w...

   @tle00041 I admire your enthusiasm! I want to get accepted so I can drop some prerequisite classes for other RN programs. It is so smart to have a second plan... I just don't want to have to use it.

   I think I may be having nightmares waiting for the acceptance decision. I am trying to apply for community college RN programs, but I am finding it extremely tedious. I have to retake some classes - or have specific classes. I need to get a CNA. This...

   I chose scenario 3. I think this was my weakest section of my whole application. I have poor hand writing! I think I approached the essay in a similar way. First graph was an intro, and stated why I chose the patient (it would be the most challenging...

   @mommanurse73, CNA. After the test I asked the proctors how many people were in attendance for the essay. They told me they had different counts... But it was around 250 people.

   @tle0041 Yes. I have a funny feeling that many people missed something on the maths. I double checked the 3rd question about 3 times. It should be 24mL. Everything canceled, and we were left with 1mL every hour for 24 hours. @phredmeister is spot on...

   Hurray! We all just finished the last extremely nerve wracking part of our application! The anxiety was palpable in the auditorium. I am not quite sure, but I think I heard there was 250 people who were in attendance and 11 out of area for the procto...

    @MowgliB0803 Hmmm.... I am sorry to hear that you weren't invited. You have a lot of courage to share that. So I have a similar background as you. I got a bachelor degree, took time off, then went back to school to "redo" prerequisites at Comm Colleg...

    BallsToTheWall replied to huskypride's topic in School Programs

    Does anyone know when we have to accept the offer to the ABSN program if we are to get in? I am curious, because I am applying to both the BSN and ABSN programs. Can we wait to accept the ABSN offer until after we know if accepted to the normal BSN p...

    I have been working for 2 years in an Emergency Department - probably around 5000 hours. I am worried about volunteer experience though. Deadline is coming up quickly. almost 1 month... Yikes! Anyone have some good advice.
