  2. Becoming Nursing Assistant Certified in Seattle

    Thanks for your feedback, nesher. I took all my RN pre-requisites at South and had heard similar things. I've pretty much ruled them out, even though they are the closest. I've decided on Shoreline for the RN program...so I am willing to drive at...

  4. How competitive is it to get into a nursing school?

    Westcoastgirl: I am very impressed with your insights into the challenge of finding the right nursing school. Any pre-nursing student would benefit greatly from this advice. I especially appreciate the "work in your favor" section. My #1 choice fo...
  5. So sad...rejected for Spring 2005

    I appreciate your kind words of support. I do feel like I know what I need to do now to make it happen. Luckily the program I am most interested in admits students 3-times per year so I don't have to wait too long to try again. I probably won't ma...

  10. Is ADN the right choice?

    One thing I've heard is that there is much more need for RN's in RURAL areas verses the big cities...something to think about.
  11. college hazing

    I agree that one would probably puke prior to desalination. I went to www.snopes.com (my favorite urban ledgend website) and couldn't find anything about it. There was an interesting myth about drinking too much Coke, however. Think before you dri...
  12. nursing program = biology + chemistry ??

    Hi Elleon: Many RN programs require that you have some volunteer or practical work experience before you are even admitted to school. If you are unsure if you'll like the field I strongly recommend you take the time to volunteer in a local hospital...

  15. So sad...rejected for Spring 2005

    i am just so sad and had to share my disappointment. i received the "small" letter from the nursing program to which i applied. the program requirements are very objective...it is a point system with 129 points possible based on gpa in pre-requisite...
