Anything around Vanderbilt is safe. Anything around st Thomas west is safe. Bellevue area is safe. Parts of east Nashville are ok, but some are still sketchy depending on where you are.

Approximately 35 students

Does anyone have any experience or know how the wait list works? I paid 600 dollars a couple months ago and haven't received much information since. I have to potentially take a chemistry class this summer for another school, which is a class that Union doesn't require:/

Ladyultimate would you mind telling me why you don't know if you would recommend the program? I am on the wait list for another school (Union) and just trying to weigh out my options.

That's great! I'm sure any of those departments would be great to work in. Just getting the opportunity to work at a hospital is exciting for me. Good luck with the new position! I start my orientation on the 8th.

Did you hear back from UW Med Ctr,manou??

That's great that it went well! Wow 6 people is a lot. I actually heard back today and was offered a position so I am very excited! I hope you hear back soon!

Oh really? I applied there too, but I only saw a candidate bank for Harborview and the only position at UW med was in diagnostics or something. Maybe I'll have to check that again. So you had a phone interview as well, maybe that is just standard procedure for all of them then. I didn't know that. I wonder how much of a chance you have at getting hired after passing that and going to the on site interview. My interview is actually at Stevens Hospital up in Edmonds.

Yeah! I am applying to hospitals in Seattle and on the eastside. Did you apply for the float position at UW or for a particular department?

Good luck! I also have an interview at a hospital. Mine is on Wednesday. I already went through a phone interview and they ask you a lot of the standard questions (why do you want to work here, name a time you dealt with a difficult situation how did you handle it etc etc). I would guess that they would also want to know about your ability to work in a fast paced environment. I don"t know about you, but I currently work in assisted living which is not that fast paced, but just come up with some good examples of quick learning or something like that. I hope you get the job!

We had the "patient" lying down for hand and foot washing. We had to wash our hands first thing before touching anything, but maybe that was because the handwashing was in the bathroom. So it probably depends on the facility. Hope that helps! Don't stress out about it too much it's really not that bad. Good luck!

ok thanks for the info! yeah I might have to call them since I'm not getting a response over email. I want to study nursing there because London is where I want to work. I figured it would be easier to go to school there since I want to work there. Thanks again! Stephanie

Hi everyone, I know there was a US to UK thread on here before but is gone for the moment so I was hoping someone could help me. I have an odd situation anyway. I am a citizen of the EU, but have been in the US most of my life and am currently finishing my last year of undergrad studies here in global health. I would like to study nursing in the UK, preferably through the kings college florence nightingale school of nursing. Do i need to live in the UK for three years in order to apply as everyone has said even though I have EU citizenship? How competitive are the programs over there? I appreciate your responses, I already emailed the school but they haven't gotten back to me yet! STephanie

A BSN is better than an ADn in my opinion as well, but this thread was mostly for people who dislike UW to express their opinions. It's not about ADN vs BSN. That is one disagreement that can never be won, judging from other threads like it haha. Also, there are definitely other schools in the state of WA that you can get a BSN. WHo cares where people go, just as long as they are happy with their choice that's all that matters.

i think you can get an intellectually challenging experience elsewhere, not just UW.
