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! 

That’s awesome, congrats!! Honestly it sounds like the move. Obviously it would take longer than a 12 month BSN but I would literally save tens and tens of thousands ?

Did you get to choose which med/surg speciality you were in for each quarter?

We didn’t pick the speciality, but they give you 4 hospitals to choose from each quarter and you rank them 1st to last choice. Then most hospitals have a few units you can see, but they are usually randomly assigned. Sixth quarter is the only one where everyone goes to the same hospital (Swedish First Hill) and you just rank your preference on the type of oncology unit you want to be on.

What speciality are you going into at your hospital after you graduate?

OB! My unit will have L&D, postpartum and a special care nursery so it’s a fun mix!

I am graduating from Shoreline's 6-quarter program this June if you have any questions!

Hi again, I just wanted to confirm that the 6-quarter program is about 2 years? I’ve only ever done semesters and am trying to plan the timeline correctly

Hi!

Congrats on completing the program! I am starting in the fall and wondered if you had an idea of the times that students are on campus?

Thanks! And congrats on your acceptance! This quarter our first quarter students are still doing some classes online, so that may change in the Fall, but they have classes every day. Mondays are usually clinicals 0600-1100 at a hospital or long term care facility, Tuesdays are also clinicals 0600-1100 with communications theory 1300-1600, Wednesdays are communications labs (time depends on your group), Thursday is foundations theory 0930-1230 and then Friday is skills lab (time depends on group). So it’s very busy, but as you go on you have school less days of the week.

The orientation is in a couple weeks but this info is so helpful since I have little ones to plan childcare for! Thank you, and congrats again!

Hey,

I was wondering if you knew the minimum points for Winter quarter. I was looking to apply for Winter 2023. Also do you know how the alternate form works?

Thanks!

Hello! For Fall cohort the minimum was a 100.5 and I know that in previous cohorts for fall and Spring it was 101.5 and 101.3! I believe the alternate form is sent out when acceptances, rejections and waitlists are in an email. When you fill it out and submit it, if there’s a spot for you ------------------------ will reach out and call you. They usually let 15 on the alternates and usually if you’re in the top 5 you have a really good chance of getting in.
