Now that the application deadline has passed, I feel comfortable finally starting a post. Just curious to hear who else applied to this program. It's fascinating to me to hear about people's different experiences, stats, expectations, etc. I'm also wondering what other programs people might've applied to? I got my submission in for the Portland ABSN to FNP/DNP program as well.
Best of luck to everyone! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and perspectives.
I applied to just the ABSN program. I graduated with my zoology degree at WSU-Pullman in 2016. I originally wanted to be a veterinarian but after finishing my degree and applying to vet school I developed extreme adult on-set asthma to cats making it really difficult to even work at the animal human society I was working at. Therefore I decided to go for a different career path. I have four prereqs left (doing two this quarter and two for spring quarter). I put a preference for a fall start although I will be done by summer start too. Super nervous because I don't have A TON of experience in the human health field. I work as a CNA now in home care for seniors. However I do have 4+ years of shadowing veterinarians and working at a vet clinic as a vet assistant. I volunteer with my certified therapy dog with read to kids program and I also volunteer with Guide dogs for the Blind and raise guide dog puppies for the blind and visually impaired so I am an huge advocate for people with disabilities!
Fingers crossed for all of you too! We're all in this together!
Yes! I literally had a heart attack in the middle of class because I thought it was the actual interview notification email.
Same thing! I about had a panic attack and then realized what it was. Such a weird feeling to know that within a week, we'll at least know if we were in the first round of picks.
Did everyone here apply to the Portland campus? I applied to the Ashland campus.
I applied to the Portland campus. I also applied to the ABSN-FNP program and another person in the same position as me posted earlier today saying they'd called admissions and apparently admissions said they'd start sending them out on Friday. So if all the info provided is correct, I'd assume emails will be going out Friday, Monday, and Tuesday, unless they work weekends.
