I’ll be applying this coming Winter (of 2021) - was wondering if all you got your CNA certification. I know it’s not required so debating if I should do it.
Thanks all!
This is very helpful! Wow good to know Seattle area hospitals hire mostly BSN and not RNs. One more question for you. Did you consider an online school for either RN or BSN? I stay at home with my two young children so a long commute or relocating unfortunately aren't options for me. Thanks!
Thx for your reply! I know I want to become an L&D nurse and Swedish hospital eventually requires a Bachelors in Nursing w/in 6 years of hire. I was thinking maybe it makes sense just to get it outright? Vs getting my RN in 2 years, then getting my BSN down the line (maybe another 1.5 years of school?)
I'm starting the process of looking into a second degree in Nursing (I have a Bachelors degree in another field from 2007). However I'm only seeing one school - University of Washington - offering an accelerated BSN. Is there any other options I'm missing? I'd hate to take all the prerequisites for this one program in case I didn't get in since it seems to be the only option in town! Thank you!
