Western or PNWU
Started by PDX RXM
Which one is the school where a nurse will teach you surgery? Yah... I think Western might be a better choice.

Lol, has your opinion changed?
I feel like your input would be appreciated. I liked my interview at PNWU and I feel like it has potential.
Western has plenty of warts, but I think our rotations are ok it seems.
PNWU, without a doubt.
PNWU has potential, but Western has kinetic.
Agreed, which is why I chose the way I did.

My thoughts are not going to change anyone's opinion. Choose what you will.
Lol exactly. That is why I haven't made a pro/con list for COMP-NW because in all honesty, it's not going to change anyone's mind. Just make a decision and hope it turned out well for you down the line. It all comes down to a leap of faith sometimes. There will be people who love their school, those who hate it, and those who don't care either way. If you're having a hard time, go take a second look at both schools. You're going to spend 2 years there so don't base it off the advice of strangers. You're going to be a doctor regardless, and it's the end result that matters.
I was accepted to both schools and I'm choosing Western. I think I would be happy at either school but Western is close to my home and just seemed like a good fit.
