UW BSN 2018

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hi! I'm applying for the UW BSN for next fall. This is my second time applying to the program and I really want to get in! I thought I would start a discussion so we can all help each other out since the application comes out this month and the essay questions are already out!

A little about myself:

-When I applied for this fall my nursing prerequisite gpa was a 3.0 and I retook one class and I believe now it is a 3.2 which isn't that great but they accept anywhere from a 2.4-4.0 for this fall so I am not too worried about that.

-When I applied for this fall I only had 120 healthcare experience hours and when I apply for next year I'll have well over 1,500.

-I'm also doing a study abroad program in maternal and child health in December before the app is due and this year i managed to get a job at Mary Bridge Children's hospital and recently got hired at Seattle Children's. I also got certified in neonatal resuscitation.

Thanks all! I can't wait to hear back and get some advice!

The week is finally here!! I hope everyone has a great week and it ends even better by getting called in to do the proctored. The last month really flew by!! Good luck everyone :)

Hi guys, I was recently invited to attend the proctored essay as well!

I found this site about an hour ago and read through 2016's thread about their application process. There will be two parts to the essay (as far as I know). One part will include a couple simple math/conversion problems and the other will provide us a few patient scenarios. Regarding the patient scenarios, it is important for us to emphasize our strengths and weaknesses in dealing with the situation. I believe the proctored essay is the perfect opportunity to prove to them that we are capable of working under high-pressure and solidifying our strengths as nursing candidates. Best of luck to everyone in here!!

Here is the link to 2016's comment thread: (page 8 also includes some more information about the proctored essay)
