The alternate form is not first come, first serve. If you are close to making it (maybe 34th and they allow 32 then you would be 2nd alternate after the 33rd person) then they will have you decide if...
There is no minimum to be considered, they just take the people with the 32 highest point totals. This varies from quarter to quarter and Fall usually ends up being the highest. The minimum for my...
If you have time, try to up your volunteer/work hours since that is a big section to get points in! Another big point area is experience in a setting addressing health inequities. Another thing you...
Thanks! And congrats on your acceptance! This quarter our first quarter students are still doing some classes online, so that may change in the Fall, but they have classes every day. Mondays are...

I think I had 106ish! The NLN has no impact on getting in, it’s just required to apply. GPA impacts getting in since it is part of the points, but there are so many other ways to build points, so it...
Have you still not heard back? I applied to both around March 21st and have already interviewed with both and received an offer from Swedish. I only applied for perinatal though, so not sure if that...
I would check your state's rules on this, but as the above poster said, usually nurse techs are already in nursing school. In my state, you need to have completed at least one term of clinical...
