  1. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Hmmm.... I just looked at the paper application and it calls it a "priority deadline." (see https://www.seattleu.edu/uploadedFiles/Nursing/Programs/DNP_Program/GradAppNurs_13.pdf) I was nervous about...

  2. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Was 1 December a hard deadline? For some reason, I thought I saw somewhere on the site that it was a priority deadline... I imagine they will definitely be lenient with it though considering how many...

  3. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The only other master's program I applied to was PLU. I am going to apply to two BSN programs, too (UW and WSU) and possibly two ADN programs... I am most interested in doing the MSN option now and...

  4. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Cool, Olympia is a great town (from someone who did NOT grow up here). We love it down here. Moved to WA only two years ago. Has anyone been to one of a graduate open house? There's one coming up in...

  5. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you thought about just submitting the applications as-is (if it will let you) and submitting the essays via email? Good luck no matter what. I am sure they will be understanding since it is...

  6. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I sent most of my stuff in myself, but I wrote to check them before I sent it (in case anything was missing). I just wrote Grad Admissions directly and they confirmed they had received 1...

  7. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Wish I could help. I did mine the old fashioned way. Let the waiting

  8. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Yes - I was looking over the threads from previous years earlier this week. It seems like they started to notify people about interviews late January to mid February, and interviews took place...

  9. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Really? I have been struggling with it this week. At first I wrote a personal statement, but I looked into "letter of intent" more and found it's not uncommon for a university to ask for that instead....

  10. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    For the letter of intent, who are you guys addressing it to? If I can't find a good answer by Monday, I will write them and ask. Hoping to have my packet in the mail Monday or Tuesday at the latest. I...

  11. Anyone willing to review my personal statement?

    anichka posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am applying to a direct-entry MSN program and hoping to eventually get into the FNP track. If anyone would be willing to take a look at my personal statement, I would really appreciate it. Not...

  12. Anyone willing to review my personal statement?

    anichka replied to anichka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Actually I forgot one person did give me feedback on the first one, which was truly helpful, so sorry for saying that! I did end up changing it to "healthcare provider" and I think it works. I was...

  13. Anyone willing to review my personal statement?

    anichka replied to anichka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I had a couple people offer to do this for me, but I got no feedback... I do have a general question if anyone could answer, though. I used the term "midlevel provider" in the first essay I...

  14. How to become a Nurse

    anichka replied to itsallez's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Sorry to disagree, BlueDevil, but I think the PA route is very doable even w/a non-science related degree. A fair number of people do it. Becoming a paramedic is not required. There is a really good...

  15. Anyone willing to review my personal statement?

    anichka replied to anichka's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ha yes I just saw it & responded... I wrote this post for my PLU statement (submitted last night), but SU is coming up quickly

  16. University of Washington's BSN program 2014

    anichka replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    So cool! Let me know how it goes. I did an ED rotation last week for my EMT class and it was pretty

  17. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Excellent, thanks! My essay for PLU was almost 4 pages (their max), but I addressed a lot of things specific to PLU so I think 3 or less should be doable. I haven't looked into the DNP issue as much...

  18. Seattle U APNI 2014

    anichka replied to lofo78's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I am looking at some of the older threads (previous years) to see if I can find an answer, but has anyone come across a page limit for the essay? I don't see it anywhere on their website or in the...

  19. University of Washington's BSN program 2014

    anichka replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    Magnet hospitals are hospitals recognized for nursing excellence; they tend to be very supportive of a learning environment. I looked it up and there are only three in WA, one in my town (St Pete's)...

  20. University of Washington's BSN program 2014

    anichka replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    If you can find a good person to shadow, I doubt you'll be a hindrance. Besides Madigan, is there a magnet hospital close by to you? If you can find a place where students regularly shadow nurses, you...

  21. University of Washington's BSN program 2014

    anichka replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    I am not sure I am following... I looked at some of your previous posts re. being in acute care or ED (both would be great, I think). Is St Claire's a hospital or SNF? What is going on with your CNA...

  22. 2014 PLU applicants?

    anichka replied to Just_keep_swimming's topic in Washington Nursing

    You can find more about that in depth on their website, but you'll need a 3.0 (out of 4.0) overall GPA from your bachelor's and on pre-reqs. No volunteer hour requirement. I highly recommend going to...

  23. Career change to Nursing?

    anichka replied to maxvoca's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I will second the above comments. I am also an older student looking for a career change (will be 40 in January). I left a lucrative career because I couldn't see myself sitting behind a desk another...

  24. New Grad Program, Fort Lewis

    anichka replied to sgmc's topic in Washington Nursing

    I can't speak to new grad programs (I think Tokmon? might know better), but some of the hospitals that are off base and nearby are going to be in Tacoma (Tacoma General, St Joseph, Mary Bridge...

  25. BSN or MSN? Which path to take?

    anichka replied to Margotrita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know - the latter was what I was talking about. At least the entry-level MSN I am looking at, you sit the NCLEX after the first 15 months, get your RN, and continue with your studies part-time....
