Hi everyone! This is my first post after lurking and reading posts for over a year. My reason for posting now is because I haven't seen anything here about the current application cycle for Pacific Lutheran University's BSN program. It's located in Tacoma, WA!
My application was received by PLU on the very last day of 2016, and they sent me an email 5 days later saying they needed one more LOR and formal admission to the university. I checked in with my instructor again, and she sent the LOR very shortly after. I also got a letter from admissions saying I was admitted with a great academic scholarship just a bit smaller than the Provost. Yay!!
As of right now, I have a 3.93 cumulative GPA, 3.96 college level GPA and 3.975 in the pre-reqs. I'm also a CNA with over 3 years of experience in long-term care. I'm almost done with a pre-nursing direct transfer agreement at Green River: currently taking AP 2, Chem& 121 and two humanities/fine arts electives. In a couple weeks, I'll be registering for Microbiology, Chem&131 and two more electives for Spring quarter to finish up the degree. I guess in the meantime, I'll prepare for the long wait and keep up on my grades.
Has anyone here applied for the 2017-2018 cohort? Feel free to reach out! :)
Haha! You are a lifesaver, futurebsnmj. I have to think of an easier elective to add to religion, probably communication? Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule to write back.. i appreciate.
Haha ~ yes, everything Future said! Seriously look at Rate my Professors for Religion ~ Early Christianity. I had Dr. Torvend and he was good/easier than some of my other cohorts. No memorizing and he lets you use a 3x5 even after giving out a study guide. I didn't use a pass/fail option because I didn't know about it...so, I ended up working harder than I needed to. My other class was Early Modern European Hx of the 1400-1700's. When we signed up for Fall, most of the classes were already taken for Gen Ed's...Hx is not my strength. Overall, I never got less than 92.5% in any of my assignments or exams in all my classes so far. You'll just need to study a lot. I know some people never read their Nursing book, but I did & highlighted important parts and studied from that. Nursing exams are 6-10 chapters each. Some students just studied off PowerPoint and did fine too. Anyways....
Join Delta Iota Chi (Nursing club) :). You'll get graduation regalia from this. Practice Self Care & have lots of fun with many new friends!
