Spokane

Yes I am a grad of SCC with my RN ADN. I guess it a good program. Their rep in Spokane is pretty good. I don't remember the exact pre-reqs. I don't think the requirements to get in are to bad, but the problem is that so many people are trying to get in they have to weed throug them somehow. Last I checked they were still on a point system and I have heard that these days you need about 120-130 pts to get in.

I'm going to BBCC in Moses Lake. I've heard it's easier to get into than SCC, and there's no waiting list. If it's an option, I would highly suggest applying here. FYI, we have 100% pass rate on our LPN

Thank you for the replies!

What is the point system? Is that just the pre-reqs or more?

The points system is utilized at both SCC and BBCC. It is where they give a certain number of points based on your gpa in the pre-requisite classes (eg a 4.0 in psych 101 is 20 points), and then the students with the most number of points (eg top 30 students at BBCC) are accepted. The neccessary points for acceptance vary each year.

I know that the points come from more than just prereq's. I know you get extra points for different things like having your CNA. I don't know all of them, but if you look around on their website long enough, you'll eventually find a sheet that breaks down the points you earn for different things. My sister is currently a student there, it took her a bit to get in because she had gotten some icky grades while at WSU. I think she pretty much had to pull most of her grades up into the A range. Hope that helps! If you have any questions let me know, I can call my sister and ask!
