Lacking faculty, Washington nursing students turned away

[NRSKarenRN]

Washington's acute-care hospitals are eager to hire new nurses, but hundreds of would-be nurses are still waiting to begin their training because many nursing schools do not have enough faculty to teach them.

Stargazer- I am really surprised at what the Dean at the UW told you since I myself got into the program with a 3.6 GPA. Maybe lately they have moved to a more experience based set of criteria. What they told us over and over at information meetings is that they had just too many great applications and not enough space, so even overqualified people get rejected.
