    Thanks, kkay. One more item on the Shorewood side of the scale. I seem to recall that Everett has an in with the UW Bothell RN to BSN program. Don't remember exactly what the details are. The commute...

    SeattleJess replied to nursebythesea's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Damn. So sorry to hear this. I have experience in another career with this kind of situation. I worked for the state which may be a different kind of beaurocracy but I suspect not. There, the...

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thank you, kkay. I'm still stunned, to tell the truth. My total points at Shoreline were 103. That is the lowest score that got into the 6 quarter fall cohort. (Don't know about the 10 guarter...

  10. Cna then RN

    SeattleJess replied to future21rn's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    CCs have a range of criteria for admission. I know of one that selects based only on TEAS scores; GPA is used to break ties. Another uses a point system. Grades are only part of the picture with big...

  11. I just want to say Thank You!!

    SeattleJess replied to aeris99's topic in General Students

    I won't be a nursing student until Fall 2014 and I agree, too. Thanks for all your mentoring and wisdom-sharing, experienced nurses. I don't know how you find the time to do it on top of working and...

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    kkay, so sorry, I didn't see your question before just now. I just got my Shoreline notice today. I think we were told to expect our notices in 2-3 months so they beat their own timeframe. Orientation...

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Jenngirl, I second the thanks for your helpfulness. I wonder why Bellevue dribbles out the info? I wish we could get started assembling our books and supplies but I guess instead I'll get to work on...

    SeattleJess replied to nursentraining2016's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Kids, schmids. She was the employee, you were the trainee who not only doesn't have the responsibility to cover but shouldn't in the interests of quality of care. She was the one who needed to stay,...

    kkay29 and asl2204, thank you so much for your comments on Shoreline. Info from people with actual experience is valuable to me. If I am lucky enough to get into Shoreline, it will be a hard choice to...

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    It's true, the nursing program director is super sweet. She also may not be the best advocate for students. I say this based on my one experience with her when I applied to the nursing assistant class...

    South Seattle lost their state accreditation. Both the LPN and the RN programs are now on "conditional approval." Use caution!

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Thanks for the input, kkay. I was very impressed by Shoreline. Wish I could see theskills labthere. Have you? Bellevue will have a spiffy new building in 2015 but our first year there will be in the...

  22. Worried about getting blacklisted if I complain about care - what do you think?

    SeattleJess replied to visionary123's topic in General Nursing

    Neither you nor your daughter should respond in the heat of the moment. Deal with issues as they come up. Seems like insurance will be the big issue and the first place where you should raise your...

    SeattleJess replied to jaycam's topic in Washington Nursing

    Stephmonster, I'm waiting to hear from Shoreline. It was my backup application but the more I investigate, the more I'm thinking it's my number one choice. They may not send out notices until after we...
