RN to BSN in western WA

Published

Hello,

I was wondering which colleges you guys are either attending or applying to for a RN to BSN program. I live Pierce County, and so far have really only looked at UW-Tacoma. What other options are there? Also, did you guys take ENGL103, nutrition and electives before the start of the program?

Thank you

I will be attending UW-Bothell in the fall. I know Seattle Pacific University has one as well. I know a couple people who have done the online RN-BSN through Western Governors University (WGU), and they have been happy with it, but if you are planning to go to graduate school someday you probably don't want to choose that one, as they are pass/fail so passing correlates to a GPA of 3.0, which is low for graduate programs.

Pacific Lutheran has an LPN to BSN program, but I don't now if they have an RN to BSN option. It would be something to check out though. It is a great school.

i have not yet started my ADN, it starts in the fall. But i wanted to get a sense of schools in the area to make sure i have all the pre reqs done now that i have a couple quarters of "free time". So far, i have only looked into UW-T since it is closest to me. I do not believe PLU has a RN to BSN option

Guess that is a negative for PLU, but they have a LPN to BSN. Seems they are missing the boat with the RN-BSN

Jenngirl34 if you don't mind me asking, will you be in the tues or thurs co-hort? Which way are you traveling from? I got accepted for the summer, and am so excited to start! I'm not looking forward to the commute, though, so I would love to find people to carpool with. 😊

I will be in the Thursday cohort, and I will be commuting all the way from Snoqualmie, so I am not excited about the commute either! Where are you coming from?
