Is anyone else taking summer classes? I'm pretty excited/nervous/anxious. It's a whole amalgamation of feelings.

I had one prerequisite left to take at the time of application, and it was statistics. I think it helps to get all your sciences out of the way first. I also had a B.A. as well. Ultimately, I think my previous degree limited me financially (as a post...

I think it's so much because they're techically charging tuition at the graduate level. It's pretty much the same pre-licensure curriculum that GEPN students go through before they begin their nursing specialty education. I also have a BA, but I opte...

I think most people will say that it doesn't really matter where you go as a nurse, because three years down the road...people will look at your experience as a nurse rather than what school you went to. Employers will most likely look to see if you'...

Yeah, UW just started their ABSN and admitted only 16 people. I think next year, they said they would increase the number of spots because they're putting their GEPN program on hold. It doesn't require the TEAS, but it does call for 3 letters of rec,...

I've heard the same thing as well...and UW's ranking is more for the graduate programs like you mentioned. However, I think the BSN programs are somewhat similar across the board, and each school will have its pros/cons. While people say UW is resear...

I am in the exact same predicament as you are. Leaning towards UW just because of the difference in tuition and because of its reputation. Although, I like SU's location and I like their focus on social justice/community themes.

Got my acceptance just now in the mail! I didn't think it would come so early! But the updates on the SON blog seemed like they had mailed them out on Friday already. Wow...I'm so humbled and extremely grateful. I was literally camped out on my couch...

Hi mocha, My prereq GPA for Seattle U was about a 3.7. At the time of application, I had 2.5 years of CNA experience, student government/community service work, and my personal statement really emphasized on social justice and Jesuit teachings.

I think so, especially since this is a post-bacc degree for me. It seems like schools are more apt to give grants to first-degree students or people contining on to their master's degree. This is sort of the same reason why I wrote in my personal sta...

Sorry Bina, keep your head up! Will hope you receive good news from UW!

Congratulations! I wonder when they're going to send out financial aid letters. If I decide to go to Seattle U, I'm not sure how I'm going to pay for it since it's my second-degree.

Thanks to both! I got a large envelope in the mail today. This is my second-degree. I was also accepted an accelerated nursing program at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Seattle U and UW are my top two choices. I haven't heard back from UW yet, an...

As a matter-of-fact, I do. :)

Got my acceptance today. Wow! It feels surreal!!

Thank you for the update! Good luck to you!

Hi everyone, I've been a CNA for a couple of years now and I've renewed both my CNA license and nursing assistant registration (NAR). I never know if I should renew my NAR, but I do it anyway to be safe. I am pretty sure if I'm a CNA, then I can just...

There was definitely a lot to consider and I definitely felt a little bit rushed for time. Anyway, I guess it's out of our control now. Hopefully, we'll receive good news in April.

I understand how that goes, and I wish you well on your nursing endeavors. Thanks for sharing. The one thing that worries about Seattle U is the cost. Tuition will be an issue for me, as well as being able to find a place to live in the surrounding a...

Out of curosity ( and I hope you don't mind me asking), I applied to SU and I am curious to hear about your experience thus far. Is the program not what you expected, hence your plan to transfer? Thanks!

I am stressing myself out too. I guess I am just going to go and put my best foot forward and whatever happens...happens. :) Good luck to you guys and don't forget your photo ID!

Perhaps the both of you guys are part of the lucky few that are automatically admissible and don't have to write the proctored essay. Don't give up hope!

received my invite as well. Phew...good luck to everyone :)

I remember last year people started hearing back around mid-March.

I haven't received anything either...got that ominous pit feeling in my stomach.
