Anyone already applying at Seattle U? Which track? I haven't finished my pre-req's, so I am probably not too competitive this year, but I am going to apply anyway. I am applying for the nurse-midwife track and my background is Microbiology (UW).
I tried to get in touch with Janet by phone as well as email to get a better sense of when interviews are going to happen. She forwarded my email to Tammy.
In terms of hands on care, if you're in the Bay Area (like me) there are soooo many amazing clinics and I feel blessed to have worked at Women's Community Clinic as a volunteer the last 1.5 years. I get direct patient contact doing basic intake, blood pressure, weight, sexual/medical history, urinalysis and other lab stuff... it's great. I wish there were more clinics out there like WCC. Berkeley Free Clinic is also good, very rigorous training process however.
I have a few friends who heard "no" this year from schools - stay strong. They are dynamite women and passionate about health care and the work they see themselves doing. My physio teacher says first round of applications is usually rejection letters, second will rock!!! Also, I've heard NP school is harder to get into than MEDICAL SCHOOL(!!!) right now, so you are all kick ass candidates who are going to make it, I promise. You are the future of healthcare!!!

I, too, got the letter of rejection. Well, thankfully I'm not too disappointed since SU was my plan B. I know if it was my plan A I would have been crying my eyes out right now so I sympathize with those who didn't get an invitation for interview. =( Hope you guys will find your plan B. Good luck to those who are going to the interview.
