Hi Taylor! Do you mind if I ask you your stats? I currently sitting at a 101.8 and I saw on other posts the minimum was 101.5 or 10. Also do they make their decisions heavily on the NLN and GPA?

I think I had 106ish! The NLN has no impact on getting in, it’s just required to apply. GPA impacts getting in since it is part of the points, but there are so many other ways to build points, so it is just based on overall points!

Do you remember the minimum for your cycle? Or the lowest points to be accepted in your cohort?

Hi! Would you recommend the program? Does 6 quarters come out to be about 1.5 years? And if you don't mind me asking, what did tuition cost come out to? (ballpark number would work!)

I recently got into an ABSN program (I already have a bachelors degree in biology) and was all set to go, but the cost comes out to like $70k! Its absolute insanity.

If the ADN program costs a fraction of that- and you have no trouble getting a new grad nurse job in Seattle without a BSN to start working ASAP- then I'm going that route (even though I already paid my deposit for my spot LOL)

ANY insight helps!!! Thank you!

I 1000% recommend Shoreline. My only complaint is that we don’t get a preceptorship/senior practicum like other schools do, but financially it’s a good option. It was about $12,000 total (or less) for the 6 quarters. I started in September 2020 and graduate in June, so it was a little under 17 months plus I got the Summer off (mid-June to late September). I got a job lined up for after graduation in 5th quarter, so absolutely no difficulty there! Lots of people in my cohort have jobs lined up now. Plus BSN is only 4 more quarters and it’s once every other week if you go to UW Bothell (or online programs exist), so you can work as an RN while getting your BSN. And most hospitals will help pay for that part once you work there.

Thank you for getting back to me!

When you say there was no preceptorship/senior practicum, do you mean you had to set up your own? Or you just didn’t have one? I guess I don’t know what preceptorship means really LOL

Also- when you say once every other week at UW, do you mean in person? And the rest of online essentially?

Thanks again :)

There just isn’t one! Most schools you have one set up for you and you focus on clinicals and transitioning to practice whereas shoreline is still very theory-intense in the end and we just did another round of med-surg clinicals. We do 4 med-surg rotations, so it isn’t particularly helpful or anything. It’s not a dealbreaker, just a difference. And yes, once a week at UW and then light online work.

Oh wow! What other clinical rotations did you have?

And are you doing a new grad residency after graduation? Does UW hire RNs while they’re working to get their BSN?

Also- thanks again OMG it has been so hard to find someone to answer my questions! I really appreciate it!

First quarter is long-term care, second is med-surg (I did ortho), third med-surg again (I did neuro plus one day OR observation), fourth is med-surg and psych (I did stepdown/telemetry and general medical plus an inpatient psych facility), fifth is OB (L&D, special care nursery, postpartum) and then sixth is management (basically just attend first quarter clinicals and give students feedback and practice leading groups) and med-surg (oncology).

I am doing a residency and so are most of my peers! My residency is at Swedish and they give you something like 5 years to get a BSN, so they definitely hire you before you’re working towards it. I know UW was really good about that too, I just don’t know their timeline. I’ve heard it helps to work as a nurse tech at UW while you’re in school if you want to get your foot in the door at UW. You can do this any time after your first quarter and you just work per diem!
