What's next? Where to apply in WA!?

Published

Hey guys! I am a current Running Start student, in Tacoma, who is going to graduate in 2014 with my High School Diploma and my Associates in Pre-Nursing Degree! (Hoping to become an RN) Very exciting and yet nerve wracking! However, I have no idea where to apply! Anyone have any suggestions on what to do next and where to apply? Thanks!

You have a lot of options in your area. Do you want to go BSN or ADN? PLU, UW, Seattle U, SPU are the options for BSN in the greater Seattle area. There are a ton of community colleges with ADN programs in the area. You just have to do some research to find which program would work for you. Good luck!

You can do a google search to look at each schools pass rates on the NCLEX exam. There are some schools in the area with low NCLEX pass rates so I would avoid those. Decide which route you want to take regarding ADN or BSN. Factor in costs for the two as well to see what would work best for you.

Here is a list of the NCLEX pass rates for all of the colleges and universities in the state. Hope it helps you decide!
