Bellevue College 2012 hopefuls

Beedub, are you going to do the weekend program? I'm flip flopping - much closer for me to go to Divine, but already signed up for one in Des Moines. The hours for Divine are more attractive too. I put in an inquiry - they say they have spaces for the weekend one starting in May.

I'd go to Divine near Northgate. The instructor I had was older (and pretty forgetful), but you could tell she'd been doing this a long time. She loved her job and answered our questions. The receptionist might be difficult to get a hold of, because she was rarely there. But everyone I encountered was nice.

Someone here mentioned Divine a while ago. I called them and they were really nice. I am starting the weekend program in Northgate on May 5th. I live in Bellevue and looked into a few in Bellevue. They got awful reviews and 2 never answered emails I sent them. Maybe some of us will be in class together.

CyndyRD, I've registered for the May 5th start - morning weekend classes. Will see you there!

I'll be out of town when the next one starts. I may wait until after summer to go to Divine. You guys will have to let me know how it goes :-)

Hey downton,

Goodluck on your e-write tomorrow! Please let me know how it goes when you talk to Chie about your certification card :)

Just got done with the E-Write. Ouch, definitely did not do as well as expected. Still passed, but my ego took a hit with that lol. Talked to a guy in for Fall and he felt the same. I feel more stressed leaving there than going in, I think I need a glass of wine haha. Oh well I passed woohoo!!!!

Oh now! What happened BeeDub? Was it harder than you had expected?

Nevertheless, you still passed and that's really all that matters

Congrats! :yeah:

No, not harder than I expected, just couldn't really think of a lot of points to support my view I guess. I've always been the kind of writer who writes and then erases and then writes and erases lol. Can't really do that on a timed test. Oh well, at least I passed and it's all done!!!

11/12 I am so happy. When I first read the prompt I was like I have no idea how I am going to write this. I pretty much wrote one essay and then decided I didn't like it and swapped to the other idea. But it's done. Now I just have to move up the wait list. :)

Congrats to all who have passed their e-writes and good luck to those who haven't taken it yet!!! Breathe, focus, and you'll get through it!!! (I for one, forget to breathe, and start panicking!!!) :yelclap: :yeah:

Hey guys, one last question:

So for the e-write did any of you guys write about counter arguments to your chosen view point? If so, do you think that you got marked down/up for that?

I am just wondering about this because I am reading a lot of essay prep books and they have all mentioned that in an academic essay, I have to state a counter argument to my position in order to prevent a one-sided essay.

....Or am I just overthinking this whole e-write thing? I'm just really freaked out that on the day when I take the test, I will bomb it and totally fail out of nursing school before even starting. Which will totally break my heart :bluecry1:
