It probably depends on which kind of program you are in. I know schools around me will take transfers if the curriculum matches and they have space. You'd probably just finish the last section with that school if possible, but that could be hard sinc...

My school is doing clinicals in-person and everything else besides exams will be online! They do require us to be vaccinated, so maybe that is helping us a little. We did v-sims during the initial shutdown, but they are working really hard to keep us...

I was also very stressed out while taking my pre-requisites! I would recommend using multiple learning styles to help solidify the information. I usually read and actively took handwritten notes then I watched videos on the material while adding to m...

This might be a little late, but I took the PAX and the TEAS in the same week and I would say the PAX was easier.

I may not be the most helpful, but I got in with a 3.95 GPA, a previous degree, and the 500 hours as a CNA. I know there are others who had lower GPAs who made it in, but they didn't tell us the minimum points for acceptance.

Hello! I am currently applying to Washington nursing schools and I am just looking for people who are doing the same. I am taking my prerequisites at Whatcom CC and I plan on applying to Whatcom and a few other schools in this area. I noticed that th...

Hey! First quarter finals were probably the toughest finals I have taken since there are two theory courses, so there are two cumulative finals to study for. There is no test for skills lab! Sometimes they will do check off testing for skills like me...

So sorry I just saw this! For second quarter, we had theory Monday 8:30am-10:50am then Tuesday 2:30pm-4:50pm. We also had skills lab every other Tuesday from 7am-10am or 10:30am-1:30pm depending on which group we were in. I had clinicals Wednesday fr...

Thank you so much and good luck to you as well! Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. I will be at the registration meeting on June 2nd for a little bit as well since I am part of the nursing student club at Shoreline, so I will see...

There are quite a few people who have received less than 75% on an exam! You just need to meet with your instructor and review the questions. Sometimes they'll have you come up with a plan for studying for the next module so that you can do better, j...

The program has been really great so far! I am in 3rd quarter currently, but I’d say first quarter was definitely the hardest for me! It was a lot of concepts (spirituality, sexuality, communication) and non-science learning which was not easy after ...

It should be really soon! I know that orientation for Fall 2021 is on June 2nd, so I would email them to confirm that they got your acceptance. I emailed multiple times because I was so nervous!

Hello! I think I got 142 on the PAX but it doesn’t really play a factor in admissions as long as you get the required score. The program is online for theory courses and then you’ll be in person for skills lab and clinicals. I think first quarter was...

I would love to talk about Shoreline's nursing program! I am not sure how chatting works with this site, but I can provide my email if there isn't a way to message on here.

I am not sure if you have taken it yet, but mine did not have anything that specific. I took it before taking A&P 2 and I scored in the highest category for science, so it was pretty much just the basics and some basic physiology.

Your PAX score does not affect your points at all, but you need to pass it to be considered for the program.

Oh that’s interesting! I didn’t see any points, I just calculated my own with the sheet that’s on the website. I also don’t remember having to enter all of my transcripts. The only thing I did online was the application and fee but I had to mail in m...

That’s exciting that you are getting ready to apply! I didn’t use any NLN specific books because I was also taking the TEAS test and they were similar enough for me to just use the ATI manual. I took a lot of those free online TEAS quizzes which help...

I was accepted, but I already got into Shoreline so I will be giving up my spot! I can look at the email again to see if it says the point cut off.

I only got the physical copy of the study manual that’s sort of like a little textbook. I debated getting the online tests, but it wasn’t really worth it to me.

@Timothy Spaeth have you had to email any forms to the school? If so, did they ever respond saying that they got them? I turned in my acceptance form on Saturday but I got the automated response and haven’t heard anything since so I don’t know if the...

Did they say whether or not you are supposed to attend the orientation? If someone doesn't show up there then an alternate gets in!

I haven't heard any specific numbers for the alternate list. Are your points close to the minimum number of points that got in? If they are then I'd assume you are higher up on the list at least!

Did you apply to any other schools? I've heard that is common for a few people to get in off of the alternate list, but it probably varies each quarter!

I got in! The minimum for Fall 2020 was 106.6 ?
