I was wondering if someone can give me some insite about moving to the Everette Naval Base and I am completely finished with my pre-reqs, ready to go into nursing school.
My main Q's are:
-Realistically, which college could I complete an ADN degree in a 3 year tour? And any recent info on the waiting lists would be appreciated
-What about driving times? I can see how far the colleges are from where will will live, but realistically, is their major travel time between Everette and local community colleges (Skagit, ECC, Bellvue ect) Are their toll roads tp cross each day or a ferry or anything??
-Anything else that might be helpful to moving to the area...I have 2 kiddos (5&7) so I have to get them settled into school and things before I can start, but I am looking forward to moving!

Hi, I have a son who was posted to the Everett Naval Station. I live in Arlington which is about a half hour north of everett--unless it is Friday traffic or raining--or they are doing road construction again. Those times can easiliy escalate to 2 hours. It is about an hour north of Everett for Skagit. The same warnings apply. Getting to and from Bellevue looks nice on a map, but is very time consuming. At peak times of day the travel to Bellevue can really get longer yet.
So if you can get into the Everett program I would reccomend it. The nurses I have worked with from all the programs seem equally qualified.
Good Luck
