   I'm so sorry! Please keep your head up and try again next cycle! A number of people I know have applied 2-3 times; some were waitlisted in previous years, some were not. There are even folks that have gotten into other nursing programs, then they end...

   First semester was fun! Everyone really makes you feel special and welcome. Yup, there was only one nursing class. It felt like an extended intro to nursing, ethics, research, basic care, etc. If you have CNA experience, the hands-on part (lab/clinic...

   Those skills will definitely help you. :) And very cool! One of my classmates came from TCC. Best of luck, and keep your head up! The wait feels like forever, but you'll know soon enough. I thought about minoring in chem or bio, but I changed my mind...

   No problem! Sorry for not replying sooner--it didn't give me a notification! Honestly, I'm enjoying it, and it's so worth it, but time management is so important. Lots of projects, exams and stuff to work on. But the time flies by so fast, which is g...

   Hi all! I have a friend from pre-reqs who applied for this round, so I thought I'd pop in. I wrote last year's thread and am going into my 2nd year of PLU's nursing program after next month (time flies!) Just to let you guys know, me and at least one...

   No problem LUTE2021! In terms of stress...If you have to take 12 credits, and if you have room for electives, I'd suggest one in something you're already familiar with or know you'll enjoy. I've heard of people taking yoga, aerobics, art, vikings, Eu...

   Hi LUTE2021, Wow, it feels like it's been forever! Semester 1 has been everything we thought it would be and a lot more. Chilli (Adrian) and I have been trekking along, doing the best we can. That initial "YAY, I'm in nursing school!!" feeling was p...

    No problem!! I guess I just described how to get there, lol. Here is the url: Documents | School of Nursing | PLU I'm glad they have a lot of the info available on the website. Might be good to go ahead and look at the bsn handbook there too. :)

    Not a problem! I'm happy to help. I don't think we need to have a special laptop. I don't have a link to the info, but it looks like the minimum requirements are pretty basic, like 512mb ram or higher, dual band wifi, able to run Adobe programs, anti...

    luccabell29, No problem! I don't have kids yet but I can imagine that having time to plan things and get a head start can be really helpful! Best of luck to you with everything. :) LUTE2021, Absolutely! I'll just make a list that includes the univers...

    Yup! On the schedule, it shows 4 credits next to "Nursing Competencies I" and 0 credits next to the associated lab and clinical lines. I ended up squeezing Norwegian into it to make up for the credits. And I thought about minoring before, like in psy...

    luccabell29, that's great! I'm glad you were able to talk to a senior and get some info. And yes, I'm a direct transfer too! I'm happy to get the extra gen ed out of the way first semester, though I had to throw in the elective to stay full time. It ...

    Hi luccabell29! Sorry for the delay! I'd be happy to share some details about my fall schedule. If I understand correctly, many forms of financial aid like scholarships require you to be full time, 12-17 credits, so I'm taking 3 classes. Nursing lect...
