  1. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    I'm so sorry! Please keep your head up and try again next cycle! A number of people I know have applied 2-3 times; some were waitlisted in previous years, some were not. There are even folks that have gotten into other nursing programs, then they end...
  2. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    First semester was fun! Everyone really makes you feel special and welcome. Yup, there was only one nursing class. It felt like an extended intro to nursing, ethics, research, basic care, etc. If you have CNA experience, the hands-on part (lab/clinic...
  3. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    Those skills will definitely help you. :) And very cool! One of my classmates came from TCC. Best of luck, and keep your head up! The wait feels like forever, but you'll know soon enough. I thought about minoring in chem or bio, but I changed my mind...
  4. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    No problem! Sorry for not replying sooner--it didn't give me a notification! Honestly, I'm enjoying it, and it's so worth it, but time management is so important. Lots of projects, exams and stuff to work on. But the time flies by so fast, which is g...
  5. 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 T...

    LUTE2021, I tried to respond to your message, but it said your message storage box is full! Let me know when it's clear and I'll send you my phone number!
  7. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    Also huge CONGRATS to everyone accepted! For those waiting, keep your head up high! This wait feels like forever, but it'll go by before you know it
  8. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2018-2019

    Hi all! I have a friend from pre-reqs who applied for this round, so I thought I'd pop in. I wrote last year's thread and am going into my 2nd year of PLU's nursing program after next month (time flies!) Just to let you guys know, me and at least one...
  9. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    No problem LUTE2021! In terms of stress...If you have to take 12 credits, and if you have room for electives, I'd suggest one in something you're already familiar with or know you'll enjoy. I've heard of people taking yoga, aerobics, art, vikings, Eu...
  10. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Hi LUTE2021, Wow, it feels like it's been forever! Semester 1 has been everything we thought it would be and a lot more. Chilli (Adrian) and I have been trekking along, doing the best we can. That initial "YAY, I'm in nursing school!!" feeling was p...
  11. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    No problem!! I guess I just described how to get there, lol. Here is the url: Documents | School of Nursing | PLU I'm glad they have a lot of the info available on the website. Might be good to go ahead and look at the bsn handbook there too. :)
  12. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Not a problem! I'm happy to help. I don't think we need to have a special laptop. I don't have a link to the info, but it looks like the minimum requirements are pretty basic, like 512mb ram or higher, dual band wifi, able to run Adobe programs, anti...
  13. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    luccabell29, No problem! I don't have kids yet but I can imagine that having time to plan things and get a head start can be really helpful! Best of luck to you with everything. :) LUTE2021, Absolutely! I'll just make a list that includes the univers...
  14. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Yup! On the schedule, it shows 4 credits next to "Nursing Competencies I" and 0 credits next to the associated lab and clinical lines. I ended up squeezing Norwegian into it to make up for the credits. And I thought about minoring before, like in psy...
  15. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    luccabell29, that's great! I'm glad you were able to talk to a senior and get some info. And yes, I'm a direct transfer too! I'm happy to get the extra gen ed out of the way first semester, though I had to throw in the elective to stay full time. It ...
  16. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Hi luccabell29! Sorry for the delay! I'd be happy to share some details about my fall schedule. If I understand correctly, many forms of financial aid like scholarships require you to be full time, 12-17 credits, so I'm taking 3 classes. Nursing lect...
  17. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Daveyj84, thank you very much for reaching out! I hope to see you on campus at some point! S14Alex, thank you! Enjoy your summer and fall! I've been getting some things done for fall semester lately and kind of getting through my nursing school to-...
  18. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Congrats lisbrow and loveyourkidneys! It makes me happy to hear that out of 20 on the waitlist, a number of you guys were placed on it! Two of my friends were also placed on it. The wonderful thing is that you guys are still a part of the top group o...
  19. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Congratulations on the waitlist Creamie! Ms.LPN2013 seems to have covered the details. Anything can happen! Aswedberg, I am so sorry to hear this. I think it would be worth trying again next round even if you start an LPN or ADN program. There are a ...
  20. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    And good luck Creamie! I wish you the best!!! :)
  21. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Hi Dawn! I'll see if I can DM you as well (not sure if I have enough posts yet) but I'm really excited to meet you too! I think it's great that you were placed in the fall! We're going to have a great cohort. :)
  22. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    LUTE2021: Since I was just moved to fall, I will be registering soon. Before getting this news, the advising office said to look out for an email regarding spring registration in a couple months (either your PLU email or personal, whichever one they ...
  23. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    I got back from vacation yesterday and just got caught up on all of this stuff. Better yet, I see some great news-- Ms.LPN2013, CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you! And congrats to S14alex!!! Guess what? I was moved to Fall semester! My Spring spot ope...
  24. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    LUTE2021, Looks like Chilli already got back to you. :) Since I'm also new with a Spring start (I'm still placed there as far as I know) all I can tell you is I've been asking about when we're registering and etc. Looks like Fall folks know what thei...
  25. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) BSN 2017-2018

    Hi guys, In previous years, it looks like people who applied before the deadline heard back any time until the very last day of June. If you don't hear back by then, I'd definitely call or email them! People who applied after the deadline could hear ...
