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.)

I'm sure I'll end up going. I do want to meet the members of our cohort. I emailed our new nursing director back and told her I'd likely have questions by next week, but for now, me and some of my peers would like to know why it was decided by former students that they will be omitting summer quarter. I expressed that many of us applied to Pierce's Nursing Program because they continued on through summer quarter. I did this for my pre-reqs as well. I told her that starting in Fall quarter is a disappointment, but omitting summer quarter is even moreso. She wrote me back this morning and said the decision was not solely based on former students input, but rather the lack of avaiable instructors. I wish she would have mentioned that in "good news" email we all received a few days ago. (It wasn't "good news" for most of us that we'd be starting later than Spring nor omitting summer quarter.) Anyway, just wanted to share that with everyone in case you may have planned on asking that at the meet and greet.

Are you ladies (or gents) planning on getting dressed up for the meet and greet? I want to be comfortable and will likely dress down a step from business casual. Your thoughts?

Enjoyed meeting twenty-two of you last night at the "meet and greet" at Pierce. :) Well, I wasn't able to meet every person, but I'm glad our questions were answered. And now, we wait. :)

Hi! I recently applied to this program and was hoping for some insight into what to expect? Are you guys in class 5 days a week every quarter? What times do classes usually run to? Did you feel as if the program was supportive of the students? I have heard things about other programs (Highline/Bellevue) but have no idea what to expect from Pierce! Please describe the program from your perspective. Thanks in advance!
