WSU BSN Fall 2021

Published

Specializes in CNA.

Hi, everyone. I am applying to the Yakima branch of the WSU BSN program for the Fall 2021 cohort. As I'm sure everyone is or was, I am pretty nervous about the application process and am wanting to get a sense of where I may stand as an applicant. I would love to hear other's thoughts/concerns/comments they had about the application and interview process.

My CUM GPA is a 3.51 and my pre-req GPA is a 3.42. Having worked as a CNA over the Summer and other volunteer opportunities, I have about 282 experience hours. For Fall 2021, WSU Nursing has waived the TEAS exam.

I know GPA is a primary factor in the decision process, and I am reaching out to hear other's GPA's upon application and if they were accepted into the program

 

Thank you so much, and go cougs!

Hi there! I'm applying for the Spring 2021 cohort. I'm also pretty nervous, especially since I'm a transfer student (graduated 2019), and I know it's extra competitive for us. 

My nursing GPA is a 3.77, college cumulative was a 3.68 studying Public Health. I have about 830 hours working as a CNA.

I was invited for an interview and I'm starting to practice interview questions because I tend to clam up a bit. I've heard different things, like some people say that once you have an interview unless you bomb it you'll probably get in. Other people say the interview is suuuper important and they only admit like half of interviewees. I'd love to hear other people's thoughts and what they've heard!

Best of luck to you! We got this ?

Hello! I applied to Tri-Cities Spring 2021 cohort. I am a transfer student I graduated June 2020. My Nursing GPA is a 3.77 and CUM GPA is a 3.64. I have 12 months of 24/7 care for my severely disabled nephew but I also wrote an essay because I was unable to get an answer about who was able to sign my experience log due to the situation.

I was invited to an interview and am nervous for it. They do send you some questions that they may ask you, but from what I've heard they just want to get to know you a little to see if you line up with the values of the nursing program. Get a little personal insight instead of basing entrance to the program only on grades.

Best of luck to the both of you!!
