UW BSN program 2015

I've applied to the ABSN. Sent in my paper application a week ago. Now to wait for the essay on the 21st.

Awesome, have you attended UW before?

spaceshuttleboy · Oct 8, 2014

I have not. It feels like a great university to be a part of, though. I'm eager to see how it will turn out. Are you a former UW student?

Definitely, it is ranked one of the best nursing schools in the US! I am trying my best to get accepted into their BSN program (fingers crossed).

I am not a UW student, I am from Texas actually, but I'll be moving to Redmond WA in December so I am applying to schools around that area.

Hello, Rococo!

I am also applying to the BSN program at UW. Are you still working on your application?

A Jaqueline · Oct 14, 2014

Hi,

I have started my application but I haven't finished it. I want to send it by the end of this semester so I have the last set of prerequisites ready. What about you?

I might sound silly but, I'm still working on my essay! I feel a lot of pressure to get accepted at UW

I also have not finished my application yet. Currently I am focusing on the essay. I won't be done with my prereqs until Summer quarter (I know, very torturous). Are you applying anywhere else?

A Jaqueline · Oct 14, 2014

At least you'll have them finished before the program starts. I too have to take organic chemistry in summer if I get accepted at UW :yes: I feel like the essay is the hardest part of the application! I have put so much time and effort in making great.

I will be applying to SPU and SU as well. I'm just waiting for Seattle Pacific to make their application available. I have completed my SU application already..we'll see how that goes. I'm just really putting so much attention on getting into UW.

Are you applying anywhere else?

InternetLurker · Oct 15, 2014

I am applying to PLU. I was originally aiming for SU as well but because I wont have my pre-reqs done until summer, I am not eligible for Fall quarter. What are your qualifications? If you don't mind me asking. I am surprised there are not as many people on here opposed to previous years. I stalked this page last year quite a lot and there were way more participants! I agree with you on the essay. Every time I sit down to write it, I feel like I am forgetting to add crucial details or its just not good enough.

A Jaqueline · Oct 16, 2014

Not at all :) I will have a little over 100 hrs of volunteer work at a Children's Hospital, NICU dept.

Community service with City Fruit, basically talking to community at a summer festival. As well as volunteering at the Discovery shop, for the Cancer Society of America.

3.45 GPA (not so great) I also have experience with pressure ulcers since my dad is a quadriplegic.

I STILL feel like I can do better but I have a family, a two year old and a wonderful husband.

How is you're resume looking?

Same here! I read last year's post and a lot of people replied so I thought I would write one for 2015, since I'm applying and I feel like it's nice to share the experience with students going through the same process. Ask questions and what not..

Hello!

I moved to Seattle this summer from Alaska and am pretty excited about being so close to the schools. I'm about to start working again as a CNA down here.

I just submitted the ABSN application today. What a relief! Just waiting for the proctored essay next week now. Shouldn't be too bad. Does anyone know what they ask about on the essay? I've gleaned a few insights from previous year posts, but I was wondering what other people could share.

I'm also applying to the ELMSN program at PLU. I saw someone talking about that earlier in this thread. Either program would provide such a wonderful opportunity!
