I am applying for the CNM track and haven been working on pre-reqs for the last year. Which track are you applying for?

FNP! So excited to get all this started :)

Me too. I'm a little nervous after reading all of the past year's forums about how competitive it is. I didn't do so great (3.1) in my Chemistry Pre-req. Are you applying any where else? I'm hoping to stay in the Seattle area.

Specializes in mental health / psychiatic nursing.

Not applying for 2015 start, but hoping to apply to 2016 start. I'll be watching this thread for any advice from those going through the application process.

I will be applying to UW and PLU as well. What about you?

Yeah, the program is definitely competitive. I don't think that chemistry grade will hurt you as long as all your other grades are high.

What is your background? Why CNM?

Have you started the application yet?

I have not started the application yet. I have a MA in International Development and Global Health and focused all my studies on maternal and child health and I did Peace Corps in Central America where I worked at a maternity center. From my past experiences here and abroad in health education, I've become very passionate about women's health and more motivated to become a health practitioner myself.

I'm also applying to UW's absn program and maybe to PLU's. I really really want Seattle U's since its the direct only mid-midwifery track. What is your background?

Wow! Your background is extremely impressive! I definitely wouldn't be worried about your chemistry grade, your background and experience make you an extremely competitive applicant.

I got my BS in Public Health and originally wanted to get my MPH in Global Health, but then I interned at a non-profit for a while and did some other volunteering and realized that I wanted to have more interaction with individuals. I wanted to verify that this was what I really wanted so I got a job at a hospital and immediately fell in love with everything about it.

I want FNP because I am still extremely interested in global health, I just want to play a different role than I originally thought. I would love to be an FNP and work with Doctor's without borders. But ultimately, my goal is to be an NP for underserved populations of all kinds. I am extremely excited about SU because I feel as though their values lines up perfectly with mine.

I have two prerequisites left to finish. Micro and the Math 110.

I am going to apply for UW absn as well, but I have 4 prerequisites left to finish for their program and I feel like that puts me at a disadvantage.

I'm considering getting CNA certified also. Have you heard or seen on any of the previous year's forums if that helps for Seattle U admission?

It is not required, but in my personal opinion ANYTHING helps.

It definitely won't hurt you.

I will be applying to the FNP track! I will have a bachelor of science in biology.
