  1. Which schools are still accepting winter or spring applications?

    scottjon replied to sugareestudent's topic in Washington Nursing

    Shoreline admits every quarter (except summer) and does not require a CNA. http://shoreline.edu/nursing/

  2. To Shoreline nursing students

    scottjon replied to namv's topic in Washington Nursing

    Just a followup... I believe the prereqs are changing effective winter quarter, which is the quarter you're applying for starting in August. Look at the site and note the differences in the point...

  3. To Shoreline nursing students

    scottjon replied to namv's topic in Washington Nursing

    When the point threshold was higher (in years past) it was very common to take classes twice to raise your grade for the point computation. I personally took Anatomy twice (hated my first prof, which...

  4. To Shoreline nursing students

    scottjon replied to namv's topic in Washington Nursing

    Yes. Don't have a lot of info on it though.... http://www.shoreline.edu/athletics/pefacilities.html

  5. To Shoreline nursing students

    scottjon replied to namv's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know ALL of the particulars about the Spring schedule, but based on experience and what I can see posted online, I can tell you this much: Unless things are VERY different this coming quarter,...

  6. Shoreline or UW??

    scottjon replied to ceea44's topic in Washington Nursing

    j450n, Regarding the point threshold, it has definitely come down (search my posts for a detailed explanation of this). If you're at 105-110, you're definitely competitive (though that's no guarantee...

  7. Shoreline or UW??

    scottjon replied to ceea44's topic in Washington Nursing

    I agree completely with j450n. I'm currently in the Shoreline program, so I'm obviously a little biased, but here's my quick assessment: you've been ADMITTED to Shoreline for the Spring quarter....

  8. ADN in Seattle Area

    scottjon replied to bunker777's topic in Washington Nursing

    I was probably about a 3.7 in my pre-reqs, and I did my 200 hours of hospital volunteer work (on top of my non-healthcare work experience). I was WELL above the threshold. Remember that at...

  9. ADN in Seattle Area

    scottjon replied to bunker777's topic in Washington Nursing

    I'm currently in the Shoreline program, and I strongly recommend it. It used to be nearly impossible to get into a few years ago, because they use a point-based admission system, and can only take...

  10. Nursing student and over weight

    scottjon replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I'm bigger than anyone who's posted so far to this thread (big enough that I won't even tell you, but suffice it to say, much bigger), and I was very nervous about skills lab when we first started,...

  11. Schools with Child Care?

    scottjon replied to Bridgett's topic in Washington Nursing

    Shoreline CC has a childcare program. I know it can also be hard to get into, but then again, so is nursing school around here.

  12. Scrub store in Seattle?

    scottjon replied to BlueRaiderBSN's topic in Washington Nursing

    Northgate mall has Life Uniform (http://www.lifeuniform.com), and in Bellevue there's Acorn Uniform (http://www.acornuniforms.com). Both are good, and will get you going in the short

  13. VERY difficult but happy decision

    scottjon replied to Jerico's topic in General Nursing

    From a guy's perspective (not sure if there have been any others yet, sorry if there have been).... What other posters have said about getting into counseling seems like the spot-on approach. There's...

  14. Someone gave me a knuckle SW and I'm NPO!!!

    scottjon replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I believe this depends on the state you're in. Here in Washington (state), assaulting a healthcare worker during the performance of their job is a Class C

  15. Cna

    scottjon replied to RezqNinja's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you want to get it over with as quickly as possible, try the Nursing Assistant Training Institute (NATI) in Shoreline. They have classes starting monthly (that last about a month, then you do your...

  16. Update on the new job

    scottjon replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can identify... I'm the cook in my household, and some days I just get plain SICK of it. :trout: Being the better cook is a

  17. Update on the new job

    scottjon replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    What a wonderful growing experience for everyone involved! Not only do you get your dream job, but the DH and DKs learn how to cook their OWN darn food! (I'm a firm believer in self-sufficiency!)...
