1. Is there anyone else feeling really frustrated?

   Rachel-EMT replied to TNTD2011's topic in Oregon

   In a few months I will be going up to Alaska to begin the BSN program at the University of Alaska. I applied for two cycles down here, got on the waitlist for multiple schools but didn't get in. I have a 3.8 GPA and experience as an EMT, however I do...

2. UW BSN Fall 2011

   Rachel-EMT replied to bsn2013's topic in Washington

   Hey guys! Looks like UW isn't in my future...I am wondering what percentage of the incoming class have prior degrees? Maybe they really are setting up like "med school" :). Anyway I'm not worried...I was waitlisted for OHSU last year so chances are I...

   Rachel-EMT replied to bsn2013's topic in Washington

   I agree...I thought the math part wasn't bad. Although Kristina it's funny that you say that because I had the first one wrong as well and had to correct it. :) I guess when I think about the essay I had an equal balance of discussion about my patien...

   Yes, she said to congratulate ourselves for making it this far...we'll see. I'm wondering why it went from 400 apps last year to 500. I was the same Kristina, I did the math part first to make sure I finished it so didn't have as long for the essay. ...

   Kristina, Congratulations, I just got mine today too! That was really early! Guess I'll see you on Tuesday...though I probably won't know it. :)

   Rachel-EMT replied to bsn2013's topic in Washington

   Well last year it seemed like they sent them out in waves. But I believe no one got an email before the specified day. They had the date set for this Thursday but now it's Friday so I don't think I would worry about checking e-mail until Thursday at ...

   Well saying I'm excited for the end of the week is an understatement!:) We'll see what happens...I've been so busy with school and work that time has gone by almost too fast. I'm still working on some other apps as well so that helps. How about you?

    Chelsea, Thank you so much for the advice! It's nice to know that what they stress at their info sessions is consistent with reality. It sounds like you had a great variety of experience going in! Congratulations on your success!

11. UW BSN Fall 2011

    Rachel-EMT replied to bsn2013's topic in Washington

    Yes they require High School transcripts to prove that you have the "essential qualifications" in basic disciplines, English, Math, Science, etc....getting everything in order can be such a hassle! But it will be worth it in the end I know! Although ...

    Kristina111, Yes I feel I have a much better chance this year, if nothing else I have more life experience. I'm pretty young, 22 so it doesn't impact me too much, although I don't think you should consider 28 to be an older student :) It sounds like ...

    Rachel-EMT replied to bsn2013's topic in Washington

    Kristina111, I am also applying this year, this will be my second go around with UW. I made it to the proctored essay last year but ended up not being accepted to UW due to my language not being accepted. It was a bummer....I think I really had a sho...

    Rachel-EMT replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    I am kind of in the same position as you MacKay...finished all of my pre-reqs, just working as an EMT and waiting to get in somewhere down here. I haven't given up all hope either but I'm for sure thinking about next years applications........I don't...

15. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    Rachel-EMT replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    Larisa- Well I haven't heard anything yet today so my hopes are dwindling. :) So the University of Alaska is the only school in Alaska with a Nursing program...so entrance is still pretty competetive. It doesn't compare to down here though because y...
