UW BSN program 2015

I agree! I'm only taking biochem right now and working part time. I feel like I have too much free time :/ lol.

I wish I felt like you guys, take advantage of your free time before we hit nursing school! I work part time, try to work out and am a full time mommy :) my days are filled with non-stop craziness.

I wish I had free time...full time work and full time classes. I'll take two summer classes if I get into UW. No rest for the wicked. I can't imagine having a kiddo though. Kudos to you rococo.

I have so much respect for people like you! I knew a girl who was in a similar situation trying to get back in school, working, and being a mom of two little ones...it's not easy. I only nanny part time and that can be draining sometimes.

I can agree with taking advantage of the free time. When we all get accepted, it will be two years of stress, caffeine, and no sleep. Lol. But it's all going to be worth it.

I love to read you guys' posts â˜ºï¸it reminds me of how hard it was to get into nursing school and the number of sacrifices I made through out those two years.

My twin boys were four years old when I first started nursing school and now they are in first gradeðŸ˜‡

Setting a routine and prioritizing my tasks were what worked best for me.

Thanks guys :) it is definitely really hard to keep us with an active little toddler, thankfully I have my husbands support behind me.

Haha, yess caffeine will be what will help us survive nursing school! All this talk about starting the program gets me pumped and excited to start (even though we haven't received acceptance letters yet )

bsnprg, thanks for the support! I can't even imagine what it was like having two little ones, not just one, to love while trying to focus most of your time towards nursing school. I'm sure they look up to you now.

It'll make you a stronger person.

My sister was amazed how I could maneuver a double stroller with one hand ðŸ˜‰

Is anyone else anxious to hear back from UW? Ugh..... :/

shelleybaumer · Mar 3, 2015

I'm trying not to think about it, but every time my phone makes the email noise I anxiously check to see if it's an admissions blog update. You are not alone in your anticipation!

I do the exact same thing. Lol. My email alerts are haunting.

So something has has been weighing on my mind, pre-acceptance/rejection is the thought of my debt if I do get accepted and go to the UW. I'm an out of state resident and would have to work 30 hours a week to qualify as a resident in the second year. I'm not afraid of that challenge, but wonder if it's worth it in the long run... $60k in loan debt doesn't sound too appealing for undergrad, but the thought of going to UW sort of overwhelms that negative thought. Overall, if I pulled off working the 30hrs per week the first year, my loan debt would go down about $15-20k. Anyone else faced with the potential of a large debt for the dream program?

I got an email to set up an account in case of acceptance. Yay for correspondence!
