LWIT is accredited by the Washington State Dept. of Health.

But not by the the NLNAC, right? So if I want to leave WA state after I get my RN to furhter my education wouldnt it be a problem?

So I don't know much about accreditation, but I was doing a little research (and couldn't find much), but even the University of Washington isn't accredited by NLNAC. They are by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities, as is LWIT. So.. I'm sort of deducing that if a college that big and well respected isn't accredited by the NLNAC, they aren't the be all and end all of accreditation. Just guessing though!

I am smack in the middle of my first quarter at Shoreline. It IS hard. There is no debating that! But it's doable. The key is getting into a good study group really early on. Most people you talk to will tell you that they have never done all the reading (there is a TON of reading), but they rely on their study group to help. It has worked so far. I have my 3rd test tomorrow morning, so I may feel different tomorrow, haha! I am also a single mom with a 4 year old daughter who doesn't let me get anything done while she is awake.... If I can figure it out, I'm sure all of you can too. Granted, I haven't made it through first quarter yet, but I'm not terribly worried about it. The instructors are actually really great, and are aware of how much stress you are under. I had volunteered to do an extra presentation b/c someone dropped ( yes, this will happen every quarter) and then was later talking about the amount of stress I was under and I had a lot going on right then. So the instructor too the extra work away from me and asked someone else to volunteer. It was actually really great of her to recognize that it probably wasn't the best idea for me to take on more at that time. A lot of instructors wouldn't do that.

Ok, that was a novel, but I just wanted to let you know that it IS possible to do this program as long as you work at it :). Those of you that got in or were wait listed will likely hear by tomorrow or Friday :-). Good luck to all of you!!

Thanks for the input! Still nothing in the mail today. I'm losing it!

I was accepted!! I got my letter in the mail today. The minimum points tally was 103.75 for Fall entry. So excited!

I didn't get in, it says that it is because I didn't get my A&P classes evaluated, but they're on the course equivalency list. I don't understand! It says that you don't need to do a transcript evaluation unless they're hybrid classes or if they're not on the equivalency list.

ljr83 · May 10, 2013

This is what it says: "Courses listed on this chart are known to be equivalent and do not need further evaluation." Should I appeal?

dlb_18 · May 11, 2013

I don't see the risk in appealing; it's worth a try. I hope you get it figured out!

Hello,

I just called nursing program and they said I am the second one on the alternate list. So I am wondering if anyone here got accepted at more them one college and will be going to other college and not Shoreline. I am so worried I hope I get in.
