Okay so before I begin... A little about me. I am 20 years old, I am married with a 2 year old, have one more quarter of pre reqs left and one quarter of CNA. So hopefully trying to get in fall 2010.

The question is: what school should I focus on getting into? I plan to apply to almost all in my area (seattle) but they all have different requirements so I plan to work my butt of to aim to get into a certain program which is UW. But then I worry that the UW program might be too intense for me because of the fact that I have a small child.I work weekends and finacially okay to quit and go to school. I do plan to continue education if I go to say, BCC,HCC,LWTC, etc so should I just do it now and go to UW. I have worked toward being an RN for two 1/2 years now and I feel ready I just want to hear from working grads or recent grads how critical a BSN really is when it comes to being hired at a hospital.

Hello and good luck in applying to schools. I graduated from UW last June and when talking to other students of cc programs Ive come to the conclusion that UWs program isnt as difficult. The staff have great attitudes and are very helpful and they dont have standarized testing like most of the other programs. As i understand most of the other schools have tests you have to take at the end of quarters and if you fail it twice, youre out. Someone please correct me if Im wrong.

I dunno about this! I would put the first two quarters of UWs nursing program against any other program when comparing difficulty. Possibly the worst 6 months of my life? lol. After that though it wasn't bad at all.

at my school we were required to take a dosage test..if you did not passed the first time you were given a second try and if you failed you were out of the program..:bluecry1:

This is what I love about UW. The faculty and staff are very understanding and aren't looking for students to kick out of the program like some of the other programs seem to like doing. The faculty are very supportive and will try to help you as much as they can if you are struggling with something. Even if you fail a class you get another chance, although you have to change to part time and finish in three years instead of two. But still, at least you don't get kicked out of the program, eh?
