lilytn · Nov 9, 2016

Hi everyone, I just got accept into nursing in Spokane Campus for Spring semester. Is anyone looking for a roommate?

Congratulations to you all ! :)

Hahah I definitely need to brush up on my A&P too. I was also advised to learn some basic knowledge from a pathophysiology book so that first semester goes a little smoother.

This program is going to be far from easy, but I'm excited to start! I'm coming from the Seattle area so this whole experience is going to be new to me! There's so much to do before the semester starts...

Hi Kaykaybee,

I am also from Seattle area, and can't wait to experience new world!

Hi everyone!

How is the preparation going? Hope you all have successfully submitted all the paperwork and made housing arrangements.

Just wanted to let you guys know the I called WSU Spokane and found out that orientation on January 5th will begin at 8AM and it typically runs until noon. Most students tend to arrive around 7:30AM though. You can call and confirm that if you'd like.

Have you all purchased the required materials? - books, modules, scrubs, polo shirt

And other supplies? - stethoscope, pen light, leather shoes

I haven't even secured an apartment yet... Had a hard time finding one for 6 month lease (Spokane)... If anyone can give me some advice, that'd be nice. I may bring my chihuahua, and I'm not sure if I will buy a car, so location is my biggest thing in apt searching...

Hope everyone is doing well!

Really? Almost all the apartments I looked into had 6 month leases which didn't work for me because I was looking for month to month rent. Check out University Area Housing! It's walking distance to downtown, offers 6 month lease, and not too expensive either.

Kaykaybee,

Where did you search for the apartments? Craigslist, or google then go into their specific websites? Just hoping to get an idea...

I also have a question about the my wsu student center. If you go to your student center, under "holds", are there any items listed? I can see "undergraduate advising hold" and "FAFSA deadline", but no other holds. Also, under "advisor", mine shows "none assigned".

The undergraduate advising hold is lifted by the school of nursing before registration, and the fafsa deadline is just to remind you to fill that out, although the priority deadline was Nov 30th.

I googled "apartments near WSU spokane" to get a general idea of what's out there. Then I googled the name of several apartment complexes to check out their specific website. I made some calls to make sure the information on the websites are accurate regarding the rate, lease types offered, and availability. Set up some appointments to visit some apartments that you're interested in. I also looked into the offers on Craigslist. I found a 2 bedroom basement apartment on Craigslist for me and my sister which worked out perfectly for us.

I also have the "undergraduate advising hold" and no assigned advisor. The hold is there so that you don't register until the nursing school resistration date which is Dec 20. The hold will be removed by WSU when it's time to register for classes, like Nicole said. And it's best that you complete your FAFSA asap!

Has anyone received emails about class registration? I haven't got any emails yet. According to the admissions letter they should send out the emails today.

nicole.adams2 · Dec 21, 2016

I haven't received anything either.

aaronrock · Dec 21, 2016

I received the email shortly after I posted the question yesterday. They sent to the school email address.

I'm just wondering if there is a Facebook group for our cohort already. We should definitely start one: )
