So, I'm a current UW student who will be graduating with a Psychology degree this year. I plan on applying to the SU Nursing school, but their website for pre-reqs seems kind of vague to me. For anyone who has transferred to the SU Nursing school, or is planning on applying for the next year, is Organic Chemistry not required? I don't remember seeing that, but it seems kind of weird, considering every other nursing school I've looked at requires it. Plus, I haven't found a course converter (UW courses to SU courses), so I'm a little hesitant. If anyone has any information, it would be greatly appreciated!

I am currently a UW undergraduate who's applying to the UW School of Nursing this year too. Deadline is in 3 days, and I am still frantically working on my essays. Has anyone gone to SPU? I'm considering applying there as well... But private schools cost sooo much. I don't know how I'm going to pull that much money out of my butt.

All right, I am currently an undergraduate at the UW (University of Washington) who is trying to get into their nursing school this year. The application was just posted online today and one of the essay questions is this: What experiences with ethnic and cultural diversity have influenced your future practice as a nurse? I don't even know where to begin with this question. I know that there's TONS to be said about this (especially concerning diversity and how important it is), but that's THE thing: what should I talk about? Health disparities among the minority? Filial piety? I'm kind of at a loss here. Any suggestions, anyone? I'm trying my best to do well on these essays; I just really don't want to mess it up. If I don't get into nursing school this year. . . I don't know what I'm going to do. =[ Thanks in advance! Also, I'm curious (since we're already at essay questions), what was something important that you learned about yourself in context of your health care experience, pre-nursing? That's the other question here. Pretty much just describe what kind of situation you went through and how you found it challenging, etc. and how it helped you grow or made you 'realize' that you wanted to be a nurse. Mine is kind of lame. Anyone care to share?
