Pierce Wa Nursing Program

Published

Hi everyone! We will soon find out if we got an interview to the Pierce Nursing Program for Winter Admission. I created this forum to keep everyone up with the status of my application too! Post when you find out if you've got an interview, or post with your info (gpa, Kaplan score, etc.)

Fingers crossed for the Spring! Do you know when we will find out about the start date?!

I didn't know anyone on the 3-5 session. Not one :/ but knew Tammy and Laini who were in the earlier one. Can't wait to see who else is in our class!

Tammy did anyone you know make it into the program? I didn't know a single person in the interviews.

I knew two people at my session time. One is a co-worker and we had a Chemistry class together; the other is a girl that I had a few pre-req classes with. This girl had a friend, whom I had a few classes with as well, that was in the 3-5 interview session (this girl's friend actually has started a nursing program at another school). Not sure if any of these three got in to Pierce's program.

I wonder how we can get a moderator here to move this thread to Washington State's Forum? We are discussing Pierce College Puyallup's Nursing Program, located in Puyallup, Washington. :)

I think if it was moved, we might get some more people posting... this thread is hard to find.

I private messaged a moderator asking her if she could move it to Washington State's forum. :)

Sweet... this thread is now in Washington State's forum.

I sent our advisor an email yesterday asking when we might receive official letters of acceptance and if they're any closer to announcing an official start date. (She didn't reply yet.) I had to apply to financial aid a "Petition for a Second Degree" and they asked if I had received my letter of acceptance. I told them no, but they are hiring a new DON and hopefully we'll get a letter soon. When filling out a "Petition for a Second Degree" they ask you to have your advisor fill out their second page of the petition which is a quarterly education plan, which our advisor filled out for me. On this form, the first quarter she started with was Spring 2015, and the last was Summer 2016. Not sure if this is when the program is set to start or not. I'm praying that it is. :)

I was surprised that I had to file a Petition for a Second Degree through Financial Aid. However, since I earned my Associates in Pre-Nursing, they said all students going for another degree must file a petition, even those that are transferring in have to. Just a heads up for those of you that got in the nursing program like me, you might want to call/email financial aid and see if you have to do the same.
