Just a followup... I believe the prereqs are changing effective winter quarter, which is the quarter you're applying for starting in August. Look at the site and note the differences in the point generation from previous quarters. (there are FEWER ...
When the point threshold was higher (in years past) it was very common to take classes twice to raise your grade for the point computation. I personally took Anatomy twice (hated my first prof, which really tanked my performance... LOVED my 2nd prof...
I don't know ALL of the particulars about the Spring schedule, but based on experience and what I can see posted online, I can tell you this much: Unless things are VERY different this coming quarter, Monday and Tuesday mornings you will be in clinic...
j450n, Regarding the point threshold, it has definitely come down (search my posts for a detailed explanation of this). If you're at 105-110, you're definitely competitive (though that's no guarantee in any given quarter that the threshold won't ris...
I agree completely with j450n. I'm currently in the Shoreline program, so I'm obviously a little biased, but here's my quick assessment: you've been ADMITTED to Shoreline for the Spring quarter. That's a done deal. You're still waiting to hear fro...

I was probably about a 3.7 in my pre-reqs, and I did my 200 hours of hospital volunteer work (on top of my non-healthcare work experience). I was WELL above the threshold. Remember that at Shoreline, it's not your overall GPA, like it is at some o...

I'm currently in the Shoreline program, and I strongly recommend it. It used to be nearly impossible to get into a few years ago, because they use a point-based admission system, and can only take the top 32 applicants each quarter. The top applica...
I'm bigger than anyone who's posted so far to this thread (big enough that I won't even tell you, but suffice it to say, much bigger), and I was very nervous about skills lab when we first started, and there are lots of skinny girls in my class. But...
My school stopped requiring them in 1981. I can't imagine a program that would still have caps! Not that I would wear one anyway..... I also can't imagine you're the only unhappy student there. Why don't you all get together as a student body and ...

Shoreline CC has a childcare program. I know it can also be hard to get into, but then again, so is nursing school around here. http://www.shoreline.edu/parentchildcenter/

Northgate mall has Life Uniform (http://www.lifeuniform.com), and in Bellevue there's Acorn Uniform (http://www.acornuniforms.com). Both are good, and will get you going in the short term.
From a guy's perspective (not sure if there have been any others yet, sorry if there have been).... What other posters have said about getting into counseling seems like the spot-on approach. There's clearly an underlying problem in this relationshi...
I believe this depends on the state you're in. Here in Washington (state), assaulting a healthcare worker during the performance of their job is a Class C Felony.
