    abalone replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    It is important if you get in. It will be how you access all UW stuff including your UW email (Alpine), as well as HMC & UWMC computers, if you are assigned to clinical at these sites. Also, keep...

    Brinnym3 I don't know what it was like this year but, I was accepted into the 2012 ABSN program. Ultimately, however, I chose the BSN program (2012-2014) and will be graduating this June!!! In 2012 my...

  6. University of Washington Accelerated BSN program Summer 2014

    abalone replied to NJstudent2009's topic in School, College Programs

    As for textbooks: often the graduating students (BSN2) and some of the BSN1 sell their books. The previous cohort of ABSNs will not yet be graduated when you start, so fewer sell their books. From my...

    abalone replied to NJstudent2009's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, I'm a 2nd year BSN at UW. As for neighborhoods: my advice is live in Seattle. Your program is INTENSE! Don't make life more difficult by adding a long commute. If you can afford it and find a...

  11. University of Washington SoN Fall 2013

    abalone replied to OBrienMP's topic in Washington Nursing

    abalone replied to OBrienMP's topic in Washington Nursing

    These were our text books last year (2012-2013). Keep in mind, it sounds like you may have a electronic book package (digital books)- we did not. What type/version of the books you choose is really up...

    abalone replied to OBrienMP's topic in Washington Nursing

    The way we knew who was part of our cohort was based on our clinical placement list. When they send that list out to you, it will have everyones names listed. Just be careful about who you are adding...
