UW BSN 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello All!

I am applying the the University of Washington BSN program, starting in Fall 2017. I was curious how everyone's' applications process is going? Have you submitted your applications yet, what are your healthcare, and volunteer experiences? Do you feel prepared for nursing school? Why are you interested in the UW? Do you have any questions about your application?

I am just starting my application for the UW nursing program, starting in fall of 2017. I am an Emergency Dept. Tech. I really enjoy it, but I definitely want to learn how to be a better and more reactive caregiver, and I think nursing provides an excellent pathway to learn and develop great care giving skills.

Good Luck!

When sending in your hard copy of you application and materials, are you all submitting the first two pages of the application in the envelope as well? (BSN checklist and second page)

Hey everyone. Just to answer a few people's questions.

I have about 4,000 hours of combine emergency room technician and medical floor CNA paid hours. I am going to submit my application on thursday. I'm currently a hospital assistant at harborview medical center. I won't have organic chem completed at the time of application submission, which is honestly my biggest weakness imo, but will be completing that this spring/summer.

Is everyone ready to submit their applications? :p

Good luck!

Hello everyone!

I am glad I came across this forum. I already submitted my application for the UW BSN program. But a little about me..

- About 1000 paid hours in my LTC facility as a CNA

- About 200 paid hours working at HMC as an HA

- About 200 volunteer hours in HMC's ER

I have a 3.93 GPA and in the span of 3 years I've accumulated about 3000 hours under my belt (management)

Bilingual: Vietnamese.

Hoping for the best!

Hello!

I wanted to apply last year but decided not too because i didn't think my grades where good enough.

I handed my application in yesterday and saw them just throwing applications to the ground, assuming the ones that aren't making it :wacky:

So they are definitely already looking through them.

Now the first waiting period starts!

I submitted my application on the due date. I hope that's not going to be held against me. I'm so nervous that a minor mistake in my application will just cause it to be tossed on the floor like Tomas_the_CNA mentioned. I spent 5 years as a Corpsman in the Navy and an additional 5 years as a MA/Health Tech. I did 100 hours of volunteer service with the same day surgery clinic at our local hospital. I have a 4.0 prereq GPA and a 3.9 overall. I'm so nervous and it feels like February 17th can't come soon enough. I haven't completed organic chem yet because if I don't get into UW I'll stay local (Bremerton) and the school here doesn't require it for their program. Fingers crossed and good luck to you all.

I went to the info session that they had and the person did mention that it doesn't matter if you turned your application a month or 5 minutes before it's due. I am also worried though that I made a minor mistake which could cause me my whole application. Best of luck to you!

Anyone hear anything yet about the proctored essay? It's bitter/sweet to say that, after years of reading people's posts on here, now we are the ones waiting!

They said in the application they will be emailing about it on the 17th! So nervous.

I'm wondering if anyone has started receiving notices? I know the date of notification is the 17th, but just wondering if they've started sending emails? I can't believe it's just a few days away. Eeek. Good luck.

I haven't gotten any notice yet! Goodluck to everyone.

I am also hoping for an invite to the proctored exam! It is hard to wait, but at least we will hear about the first round of admissions decisions by this Friday, Feb 17th. Thanks for sharing when you get an email notification from admissions.

And good luck, everyone - hope we can be classmates starting this Fall!
