I thought it might be fun to start a thread for just UW on here for those who are starting in the fall (or getting a jump start this summer). Can any current students or recent grads offer some tips or advice for surviving the next two years? Con...

Best of luck to you both! You have been putting so much time and effort into this oh so fun process, and seem on top of it. I'll cross my fingers for you! Anything else you want to know, just ask.

I haven't been on here in a long time, but I have just started UW's nursing program this fall. I don't know how I got in, but I did (first attempt). I am a post bach student and this is my second career. I would say a large portion of the current ...

Just wondering if anyone is familiar with Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen? Anyone applied there for fall?

Where do you live? Please don't listen to others negativity when deciding on a school. Like the others said, see for yourself. You might find the things others complain about don't bother you at all. Or those things may not even be true. Go to so...

I have a Littman Cardology III and I totally recommend it. Worth the expense. Just go for it. You'll have the steth forever! :wink2:

Anyone out there heard back on the loan repayment program? They don't seem to be in a hurry to select people...

Do you belong to a credit union? They may be able to help, especially if you have been a longtime member and the credit committee knows you. I am in the same boat as you, all of the immunizations, books, supplies, etc. etc add up fast! :icon_roll

Nope, not a word back yet for me. I was wondering the same thing for the others that applied! :icon_roll

Nope, I won't be living on campus. I will be a commuter. My husband's job is going to be based in Kent so I'll likely be somewhere between Factoria and Kennydale... a good halfway point between Kent and the UW, and also on the busline or at least c...

hehehe, nope not me. I was #6 on the wait list!

Thanks! Yes, I'm so excited too. I do not plan to take anything over the summer, doesn't make financial sense. I know there are some openings for a few classes this summer to lessen the workload in the regular academic school year, but I live near...

I am so excited! I was accepted to Seattle U, got it in the mail today! Anyone else out there that got in too? Anyone going there now that has advice?

mlr03 - Congrats to you! I was accepted off UW's waiting list and I called this morning to Seattle University to cancel my spot and give it to the next person. How funny is that? You probably got my spot!

I'm on the waiting list now for UW and am really hoping to get in! Can you give me some advice about their program? Thanks so much!

What part of WA are you looking at? It is not easy to get in anywhere, but you can do it! I got into Seattle University for this fall and am now on the waitlist for UW. I do not have a 4.0. Not even a 3.6. Grades are not the be all end all and I...

I don't think any are "easy" to get into. Even the schools with a wait list you are on there for months or even years until a spot becomes available. What's your timeframe? What part of the state are you looking at? What are your goals? There ar...

My instructor for the summer '07 was awesome and knows soooo much! I LOVED her!!

Best of luck to you NichelleNurse2b! Sounds like you definitely know what you want and how to achieve it!

I know OHSU has an accelerated BSN program. It's extremely competitive. Only about 35 people are accepted out of hundreds of apps. Check out their website www.ohsu.edu/son Happy moving!

Here's my two cents. I've been accepted to Seattle University and I'm on UW's wait list for this coming fall...Since time seems to be of the essence for your situation, I would apply everywhere, but really focus on programs that have the soonest sta...

I'm surprised out of nearly 400 applicants and 96 acceptances we are the only few people posting comments about UW! In the letter I got it said to call after April 25th to see if your waitlist position has changed. I'll have to give a call 8 am on ...

I'm so sorry Poly and Daisy....that's a bummer. I'm #6 on the wait list. Sigh. Ebostylin - what advice do you have to be successful in the program? Any tips? Do you know if people are usually chosen off the wait list? I also got into Seattle Un...

Also, if you don't mind a short commute Mercer Island is a great place to live and only 10 mins. away! You can hardly go wrong in Seattle, and if you have a car and plan to commute there are even more great options for you! Welcome!

mlr03, I am a CNA (just hold the license, haven't worked full time as one), this is my second career too (BS in Psych already) and have spent most of my career thus far in healthcare administration. I have volunteer hours from a place I've been at f...
