  1. Hey! Did you end up continuing with L&D at Edmonds? I will be starting my residency there this August and I am wondering how it
  2. Shoreline Nursing Winter 2023

    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...
  3. Shoreline Nursing application Spring 2022

    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...
  4. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    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...
  5. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    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...
  6. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    OB! My unit will have L&D, postpartum and a special care nursery so it’s a fun
  7. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    We didn’t pick the speciality, but they give you 4 hospitals to choose from each quarter and you rank them 1st to last choice. Then most hospitals have a few units you can see, but they are usually...
  8. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    First quarter is long-term care, second is med-surg (I did ortho), third med-surg again (I did neuro plus one day OR observation), fourth is med-surg and psych (I did stepdown/telemetry and general...
  9. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    There just isn’t one! Most schools you have one set up for you and you focus on clinicals and transitioning to practice whereas shoreline is still very theory-intense in the end and we just did...
  10. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    I 1000% recommend Shoreline. My only complaint is that we don’t get a preceptorship/senior practicum like other schools do, but financially it’s a good option. It was about $12,000 total (or less)...
  11. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    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...
  12. Shoreline Nursing Fall 2022

    I am graduating from Shoreline's 6-quarter program this June if you have any
  13. I got my offer on the spot (paper sheet with intent to offer info) at the interview and then I got the official email offer a week
  14. 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...
  15. Nurse tech before Accelerated BSN program?

    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...
  16. Shoreline Fall 2020

    So far I am liking the program! Just be prepared for the "flipped classroom" model (I was definitely not since we did not do this where I did my prerequisites). Theory classes have switched to a...
  17. Shoreline Fall 2020

    Hello! I am currently applying to schools in Washington and I was wondering if anyone else on here is applying for the RN program at Shoreline. If you are, what are your points and what other schools...
  18. NAR before completing NAC program?

    I got my CNA license in WA the same week I took my exam. I also took the NAR route to get experience sooner and that license was also pretty quick to obtain, but I don't remember exactly how long it...
  19. I absolutely recommend getting your CNA. I was a CNA before nursing school and it made me way more confident in the clinical setting. You learn the basics of patient care, so when it's time for...
  20. 65k in loans worth it?

    I don't think that is worth it, but it is up to you! ADN is much cheaper and it takes around 21 months to complete then you could do an RN-to-BSN bridge while already working as an RN. Most employers...
  21. I think you could do a light review, but I wouldn't worry about an in-depth one! Some nursing schools are different, but mine reviewed A&P before each topic so that we could refresh on the basics...
  22. Nursing School A Mistake

    I would give it some more time! My first quarter of nursing school was the worst. It was so busy and as you said, unappealing. I hated everything we did and I thought I would hate nursing. It got a...
  23. Bartending or Sterile Processing Tech(Nights)

    I think it would depend on the school you are at! I know a lot of schools around me prefer students who have worked as CNAs, but it is not necessary to work in the medical field. I looked around at...
  24. Fundamentals of Nursing course

    This looks pretty similar to my fundamentals class as well! We did not dive into every topic, but it was mostly broad subjects such as sexuality, spirituality, ethics, development, and nursing history...
  25. I am in the Seattle area, but the schools I looked at were all around
