  1. Kinesiology and then Nursing?

    I don't know anything about kinesiology and my intention is not to be rude or disrespectful but I have a friend who was in a similar position as you. This friend got their bachelors in kinesiology and has returned back to school to get their BSN bec...
  2. I would also recommend Seattle Uni., Seattle Pacfic Uni., and Northwest Uni. (Ranked in order from most to least competitive in my humble opinion). Please note that these are Christian schools so it's up to your personal preference/beliefs if you wan...
  3. I'm from Washington state and YES both those colleges do accept transfer students for the last 2 years or the "official nursing program" as I put it. I would actually recommend doing prerequisites at a community college and then transfer to a 4 year ...
  4. Decided to continue going back after giving birth

    My suggestion is to keep on going! I have an almost 3 year old and an 18month old and I'm about to give birth any minute. I'm praying I'll give birth next Friday so I can go back to class on Monday and pull through till the end of the semester which ...
  5. Question for all nursing students

    Our program posts exam scores the same day (they are done on scantron) and then the tests are available for review at the nursing office. We can't take the exam with us but we are able to review them regardless if you have missed 1 question or 20. If...
  6. Should I go back to nursing school?

    The fact that you have 7 kids and still have the energy to want to go to school is amazing! I say go for it! My mom is the same age as you and had 6 kids and I don't see her as being too "old". I think you will be surprised once you go back to colleg...
  7. "B" In BIOL 2401

    Unless your GPA was under a 3.0 and you needed that A to reach the minimum. But honestly you should be doing all this investigating and calculating on your own. You need to know the minimums for all schools you want to apply to and know where YOU st...
  8. "B" In BIOL 2401

    You spoke to a counselor who might or might not have given you the right information. I personally hated working with counsellors because they weren't up to date on pre-requisites and take advantage of poor naive students by signing them up for extra...
  9. Depressed... Failed Teas Exam

    OMG I hated that test. I would not say it's a common sense test, they are quite tricky. I was reading at college level in the 4th grade and I did horribly on the reading comprehension part! How does that make sense? And I was always terrible at math ...
  10. I'm a mom and Starting the program in January and nervous

    OMG you can totally do it! Go for it! I have a 2 year old and a 1 year old that sounds a lot like yours. Mine is so needy and still keeps me up at night. ... I'm also due with baby #3 this thanksgiving. We are both blessed to have family support so ...
  11. That guy you talked to on the phone was a jerk and immature. I'm in an RN bachelors program with three kids under three. You can totally do it if you have support that you can trust to take care of the kids while your gone. I am also the same age as...
  12. Cannot stand director

    I love our director, such a nice and well spoken man :) and explains stuff wonderfully! He is really there to help and encourage the students within the program. I think I might be in one of the few programs that all the graduates and current student...
  13. Seattle Central Fall 2015

    LOL, still no answer from Seattle Central. Has anyone else heard from them?
  14. Christian School and Atheism

    You should also Google the definition of "worldview". What they are doing is accurate based in their worldview. Your definition of "accurate" is different and cannot be implemented in the text because that would make it inconsistent. LOL you so funn...
  15. Christian School and Atheism

    LOL, are you kidding me? Seriously your the one who chose the school when you clearly knew that it was Christian and that the belief they hold would be implemented in curriculum. It's your fault for for being inattentive. And why in the world would ...
  16. Pregnancy and nursing

    I honestly depends on you. If this is your first pregnancy you might not know what your capable of, which could be a good thing or a bad thing. I start the 2 year BSN program at my university next month and I'm due on thanksgiving. This is my third c...
  17. could I get in the nursing program

    I don't want to be mean. How about you learn to write in proper sentences first? That will help people to take you more seriously.
  18. Should I apply?

    Sorry I don't want to sound harsh or anything :/ but I think a lot of previous posters are giving you false hope and are misguiding you. They should be directing you towards understanding the different tiers in nursing and the scope of practice withi...
  19. Should I apply?

    You don't meet any of those qualifications from what I read. You don't even have your CNA completed yet. And a "pre-nursing" program is NOT equivalent to a nursing program. Just because I took English 101 it wouldn't be accurate to be telling others ...
  20. Trying to get Accepted!!

    Hi, I'm from Washington state. What programs were you looking into? ADN or BSN? Any particular schools? For almost ALL the school in the Seattle area you need at least a 3.0 in prerequisite GPA. Don't blindly believe all the advisors tell you. I did...
  21. Seattle Central Fall 2015

    Just so everyone knows, including those interested for appling to Seattle Central next year, they have YET to send out emails notifying EVERYONE ELSE of their status. I haven't received any email yet. I called and they said they are 'still working on...
  22. Mom of 4 - can I handle nursing school?

    I think you can totally do it! Especially since your kids can all go to school. There were very many older students in my prerequisite classes. The average age was about 30 with a handful in the 40+ age range. I'm starting this fall and I have a 2 ye...
  23. Lab Pack Contents & Stethoscopes

    Oooooh I'm so glad you asked about amplified stethoscopes! I have trouble hearing and I've been contemplating on whether I would need an amplified one or not. I've heard they are pretty pricy so I want to make a good decision before I invest in one.
  24. Seattle Central Fall 2015

    Oh wow that's a big move! I hope you enjoy the program there :) and thanks ahead of time for making a spot for one of us!
  25. Seattle Central Fall 2015

    Omg slowest response ever! I still haven't heard anything back yet. Did anyone else? Somehow I doubt we will get a response back till the very END of June or maybe even beginning of July.
