WOW it's been so long.... anywho this school is still only Washington state accredited. It didn't matter!I graduated, passed the NCLEX with 75 questions and got a RN job before graduation! Nationally accredited or not it really depends how hard a student is willing to commit. I LOVE THIS SCHOOL. Did not regret going there at all.

I clicked on the link on my phone and it didn't open but thanks for quoting what it says on the site.Yes I meant UW bothell...this girl got her ADN at RTC (my school) and is now taking her BSN at UW bothell

It will cost $14000 for two years..they awarded me a good amount of grant money enough to pay for tuition and most of my books.I know someone who graduated from my school and a lot of them were accepted right away at university of washington. We are affiliated with them. That's why I'm not worrying too much, I really would like to know what a school has to do to get accredited..what are the qualifications? When they come and visit next month what are they going to look for?

not sure if it's a profit school

Yes a lot of us are scared we're wasting our time and money but very hopeful. We were told we're going to get a visit too in oct. I'm really just hoping for the best. For now I'm counting on the fact it is easy to transfer to a major washington state university after completing ADN..I'm going to have to get my BSN anyway since it will be a requirement sooner or later for every facility. I really don't want to back out now and reapply to other schools who knows when would I have a chance of getting accepted againMy school was accredited when they were only doing LPN and lost it when they started only doing RN.. keeping my fingers crossed

My RN program is only state accredited. It's too late for me to back out since I already started school and purchased all the VERY expensive books and computer apps. My RN program is a new program that just started just a few years ago I was told by faculty that they applied for the national accreditation and it's "processing". My question is, What does it take for a new RN program to be granted with this national accreditation? I heard a lot of horror stories about students graduating and was not able to find jobs. Is there anyone out there who did, recently? I'm not so concerned because I plan to go to a university (accredited) after my ADN to obtain my BSN. Just curious.......

I'm guessing you have not really been bullied before if this is what you can consider bullying. I was bullied lots of times before if I tell you the things mean people have done to me you wouldn't believe me. And this here I call playing games. Maybe he has a crush on you. Remember Helga from hey Arnold? lol... You gotta toughen up youngin'! There are way worse things that could happen. Next time don't wait on anyone to hand you the papers. Stand up and get your own, and if he happens to pass u up again, say "Oh well, life goes on" show him you're a tough cookie. DON'T EVER BE AFRAID TO STAND ALONE! I wouldn't even confront him for what?! you don't need his approval at all. Accept the fact that not everybody is going to like you. It can be a cold cold world.

hey there! Mom here to a 18 month old, wife, and a full time night shift worker. I will be starting nursing school in two weeks... YOU ARE NOT ALONE...We can make it through :-)

I'm in WA as well, got into RentonTC's nursing program. I started a new night shift Patient Care Tech job at the hospital and I work full time 36 hours a week. I don't have a choice but to work. And plus it took me two years to land a hospital job I just can't pass it up. I like the idea of having my "foot in the door" since getting a nursing job after graduation can be really hard nowadays.

Yes definitely I would like to know more thank you

That's very discouraging.....although this is not the first time I heard this. I know a few people who went to rtc for their lpn and they were very disappointed and I know a girl who is in the RN program now who warned me also. And with all the negative comments I heard I still applied. I took all my pre req's at rtc and I absoulutely love this school. I love all the instructors I had in the past. They were very good.I can't imagine going anywhere else. Hopefully all the bad nursing inatructors several people mentioned to me are all gone and replaced with better ones and all the awful experiences that some students went through are subjective..I want to create an experience of my own.I talked to the nursing advisor about their accreditation. They're washington accredited but not nationally accredited yet since the RN program is very new and it will take a couple years and by the time I graduate it will be...I know you mean well but hopefully my experience with this college is a great one

I almost didn't get in to an RN program...thanks to a wonderful stranger who I came across allnurses.com, I found out that she got into two programs (including the college I applied for)she immediately dropped her spot and I was able to get in because I was first on the waiting list! I was soooooo thankful!I start Nursing school n sept.! I'm a officially a member of class 2015! Woop!!!

Took mine online. ..it was worth it..

Love this post! very encouraging! From what I read and hear about nursing school seems to me it equals stress, depression, anxiety etc. not a lot of great things. It makes me doubt myself a little bit. I wish I can be just a student, but I have a family and a full time night shift job which makes me doubt myself even more. But I always have to remember that I love learning and it comes very easy for me. I love Science, I love nursing. I have to remind myself I'm not forcing myself to do this like for some students who chose nursing thinking they will make money or it's a guaranteed job. I can't imagine doing anything else for a career than nursing. Hopefully my passion and drive will be enough to get me through it.

Keep at it! you're so close. I too have a husband a full time job and a child, and will start nursing school this fall. I know it will be tough but I will ABSOLUTELY do my very best to strive and succeed for the sake of my family. My family will help me get through it Husband, Mother, Brother, Father and if there comes a time they are all busy and tired when I really need to study I am planning to put money aside to hire a back up sitter/housekeeper on some days, it will be money well spent.
