UW Transfer BSN 2019

Published

Hello! I'm posting here to get any feedback from previous UWSoN students or current prenursing students who are applying for the 2019 cohort. A little bit about me is that I'm currently a student at OC in Washington, my prereq GPA for UW's required classes is about a 3.81 and my cumulative GPA is a 3.7. I have been working as a CNA/Medication assistant for almost half a year and will be continuing working until I move to Seattle for school. Any advice is greatly appreciated on housing, how to study for the proctored essay, and any way to better my chances! Thank you!

That's the spirit!! Don't worry, I'm sure it won't get as complicated as some of the stuff on there! Better safe than sorry though. ?

Woooooooo! Glad that’s over! Felt good about the essay but the math questions were a bit harder than I expected. 99% sure I got two out of three right on the math part...not so sure about the 3rd.

YES ITS DONE!! How did you guys do? I know they said not to break it down afterwards but I still want to lol. Does anyone know how many people total got invited??? I thought they would give the number at the beginning...they didn't! I really really want to know..

What did you get for the math? I got 1.2, 200 and 16. The second question threw me. Seemed like a trick question....I just doubled the 100 mL because it's every 30 min and it's for 1 hr..right?

Well I feel better about my math answers now. I got 1.2mg per hour. 200 ml for the hour (based on the same reasoning as you, wasn’t sure how to show my work on that but I did my best) and 16 units of lantus for the 3rd one. I showed my work for all except I didn’t show how I divided 300/250 because I just know it’s 1.2 but I showed the rest on that problem (like how I got all of my numbers) hopefully it’s sufficient

Oh good. Im so relieved. That second one seemed deceptively simple..unless we're both wrong lol!

What pt did everyone pick? I picked #2. I said because the combination of stressful circumstances with neurological damage makes it a challenge to determine the cause of her headaches, and because it would be a personal challenge to not go "Hell naw you're not going back to your ex partner!!!" As a nurse my role would be to empower the pt about her health offer resources like domestic violence support group etc rechannel my energy into that , instead of voicing emotionally charged opinions yadda yadda. I also made a big to do about holistic care and how clinically i would have to use different methods like imaging medication etc to find the cause of her headaches.

Yay! I’m glad I got all the math the same as y’all. I picked scenario 1, as I’m the least familiar with care in regards to teenagers as well as substance abuse. I don’t think they were looking for how we would treat the patient, more just how we would grow as nurses and people by caring for the patient.

I went with scenario one myself because it’s the one that immediately struck a chord with me. My brother is an addict so I felt like I could definitely touch on my own personal experience with that and I also felt like it was a little bit of me stepping out of my comfort zone because it can be difficult to talk about family members Who are struggling with addiction. I also didn’t talk much about how I would treat them but more so how it would be difficult and how I could grow from it personally and professionally. So I’m happy that I was able to make it personal and draw on my own real life experiences.

I’m so so sorry to hear about your brother. But I am glad that you were able to tie this in with your essay. It’s so important to be able to find compassion and have empathy as a nurse. I’m proud of you for being able to talk about it on paper and on this platform ❤️
