  1. Step programs?

    j450n replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Washington Nursing

    I could be wrong, but I think step programs are referring to programs where you can enter the nursing profession by working your way up the "hierarchy" so to speak. For example after you do your LPN,...

    j450n replied to nursevai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen people post that they've been accepted into Drexel's ACE program in Philadelphia with their previous degree under a 3.0. Granted, these applicants probably did very well in their pre-reqs....

  3. UW BSN

    j450n replied to bina11's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know if they give you a denial letter for the first round. I think they let all applicants know by e-mail if you should come in to write the proctored essay or not...and if your e-mail says...

    j450n replied to daylueLPN86's topic in Washington Nursing

    I know North Seattle CC teaches an IV Therapy class and part of their nursing curriculum, but I'm not sure if it's only reserved for just their students in the actual LPN program. North Seattle and...

  5. Nervously Awaiting an Answer

    j450n replied to LilyGirlie's topic in Washington Nursing

    My stomach turns every time I think about it. I just found out that 415 applicants applied to UW's program. That's more than 3/4 of people getting rejection

  6. UW... why NOT to go

    j450n replied to stellasaurus's topic in Washington Nursing

    I guess it just depends on how you utilize your resources. When I went to the UW for undergrad, sometimes I was but one student in a 500-person lecture class. However, I was able to build my own...

    j450n replied to radbird's topic in Washington Nursing

    j450n replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Does anyone work at UW Medical Center or Swedish in Seattle?

    j450n replied to achriswell4's topic in Washington Nursing

    I work at UWMC as an aide and the facility is great, in my opinion. The staff is amazing as well and the benefits are fantastic. UWMC performed the first heart-lung transplant in the Seattle area a...

    j450n replied to Dakovich's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. SU pre-reqs?

    j450n replied to mochii's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am in the same situation. I recently just graduated from UW and will apply to both Seattle U and UW. Seattle U doesn't require any organic chemistry, which is actually nice. The only chem they...

    j450n replied to Mrs.Christie's topic in Washington Nursing

    I know Shoreline and Everett CC does cats as well. No one in my class had an issue with it, except for one day when a girl sat out. It was towards the end of our cat dissection unit and some cats were...

  17. ? about prerequisites

    j450n replied to cjslady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Several schools actually do a "conditional acceptance" meaning you have to have a certain number of prerequisites completed before you apply. For ABSN programs, I was accepted to Drexel in...

    j450n replied to gamomstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  23. University of Washington in Seattle ?

    j450n replied to Hill's topic in Washington Nursing

    I don't know if they accept 60% of their applicants. I think it's about 96 seats for about 400 applicants. Here are some profiles of accepted students that were posted on their website a few years...
