Hi there! I graduate in about 3 weeks, and I just accepted a job offer today in my unit of interest at a hospital 45 min from my house. I applied to many hospitals in the area that had "RN residency" positions open. I started applying about 2 months ...

This was very helpful, thank you so much! I really appreciate your time in helping me understand where to start. :)

Hi there! I'm graduating with my ADN in June, and am hoping to get into an RN-BSN program this year. I have a long way to go, but I know for sure that I want to be an APRN. I haven't decided whether to go for the Nurse Practitioner route or the Clini...

Hi there. I work as a CNA in LTC while I am in nursing school, and I have been at this same job for about a year and a half. The first couple of months, I went out in my car and cried during every lunch break. I said "How can I possibly do this? It'...

Hey guys, I don't know if this is a dumb question... but are the textbooks we're buying for fall going to be most of the textbooks we're going to need for all 6 quarters of the nursing program, or are we going to have to buy like 9 books every quarte...

Bellucy- Here are the required books & materials lists that we got at orientation. (You might have to rotate the pictures, my phone is doing that for some reason) Congratulations on joining us! :)

Gotmilk & thriftykid: It really depends, when it comes to the NAC exam. I got a test date in the mail about a week after I sent out my paperwork, but the test date was about a month out. Then, after I passed my exam it took me 3 months to get my ...

Chie called me yesterday too, and after playing phone tag we finally got to talk just now. I accepted a spot in fall!!!! I can't believe this is happening! :) Congrats ASL! I see that you took a spot too!

Kare_bear: I am in winter cohort and I would totally switch spots with you in a heartbeat. I wonder if you asked if they'd switch you with the highest person on the winter list. Maybe!

Oh wow Jaycam I'm such an idiot I thought you were reading the nursing school textbook Hahahahaha!!!!! Congrats Acrandall! :) Yay!

Thanks Seattle Jess, and shoreline is a great program from what I have heard! Really though, It's okay if it doesn't trickle down for me, I'm okay with starting in Winter. Just 3 months later then I'd hoped! Like I said I'm just happy to be given the...

Don't give up hope, you guys on the waitlist! Hopefully only the people on this forum accept the offer, because that would open up a lot of spots! also, we have to pay our deposit by May 31st! So soon after that people should hear about getting bump...

I'm in for Winter!!!!!! Congrats to everyone who got in so far! If anyone gets bumped up please post I'm just hoping to get bumped up to fall... (88.7 TEAS) I'm not holding my breath hahaha. I'm so happy just to have a spot.... OMG.

Asl and Jaycam, congrats!!!! I'm so happy that everyone has gotten in so far :)

Congratulations on getting in! !!!! :) Flipping out guys! Why does my mailman come at 4pm? Grrr!

Thank you for letting us know! (But I'm just curious why they couldn't say for sure what day it was/will be sent out...)

Please wake me when the letters start arriving! I can't stand this anymore

Even though they haven't been sent out yet, I still check my mailbox every day... ridiculous, right? I hate feeling so anxious all the time!

You're right, Jaycam, some people might decide to take a different college's offer. :) and HopefulBE, based on the average scores of the cohorts who got in last year, I think you're still in the running to get in! Like Jaycam said, there's a good cha...

I feel like with an 88.7% I'm right on the cusp between possibly getting into Fall or Winter, if this year is anything like past years. I'm really hoping for fall, so that makes me a little nervous... but I will really just be overjoyed if I get into...

Wow, it sounds like BC has pretty good prospects as far as clinical sites go! I am aiming to go into pediatrics, so it's basically my (far-fetched) dream to go to Seattle Children's during clinicals. You know so much about this, Jaycam! It's really a...

Wow I'm sorry that you got sick on the day of your retake! I have no excuse as to why I did worse the second time... I wasn't sick, except maybe sick of the TEAS! Everyone here has their stuff in now, it seems, so best of luck! I hope we find out in...

Nice! We've got a long time to wait...

Yeah, I am in the same boat jaycam! I am waiting to apply to some other schools because the deadline is after I hear back from BC. My fingers are crossed! And my TEAS score is 88.7%... I re-took it 6 months later (AKA a week or so ago) and I studied ...

Hi there! I just finished my application for the BC program. I am so nervous.. It's my first choice school also. Waiting for April/May is going to be so hard.
