   Yes, I'm trying desperately not to think about it, but am feeling anxious too. How many did you interview with? I was able to interview with 4 units, but I really butchered my first one.

   Hi, I just interviewed for the Feb 2019 cohort. Did any of you apply as well? Anyone get a call back for a 2nd interview yet? I haven't yet.

3. Shall I take this job?

   bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks everyone for your feedback, it was helpful in making a decision. I ended up turning down the offer, and applied to a few more Rehab places. I have 3 interviews in the next few days, with better scheduling and hopefully better pay.

   bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

   Hi - the orientation is 18 days, about 2.5 weeks. I'll have about 12 patients on evenings with 2 CNAs. I did not think about all the charting on that many patients. Thanks for everyone's comments - it's helpful for me as we process.

   bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you. :) We just moved here (with 3 kids), so we don't want to relocate again. I've applied to the Prov, Legacy, Adventist, PeaceHealth residency programs, and OHSU regular jobs. I didn't know about Tuality - I will look into them.

6. Shall I take this job?

   bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, I would, I guess - it all depends on travel time. I have three kids, and don't want to have to commute super far. What communities are these? I'm not sure where to look..

7. Shall I take this job?

   bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

   From what I understand, it's just a commitment, and not an employment agreement. I don't get any bonus or an incentive for staying the whole two years. I'm researching if that even counts for anything, which it sounds like it doesn't. It sounds like ...

   bonjour79 posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have a quandary. We just moved to Portland, OR, not realising how totally saturated the market is out here and how hard it is for new grads to get a job. I have applied to every residency program, and every job I can at OHSU - around 50 jobs total ...

   Hi! Yes I ended up going to Drs Express, and got all my titers done. I just have to get my second PPD and then I'm all set.

    bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Emily! I'm Marie- I didn't make it to orientation as we were driving out here. They're doing another one on Aug 4th. I didn't realize they only accepted 24 people. Do you know how many apply? I'm still working on a lot of stuff - all my medical s...

11. Elms Fall 2016

    bonjour79 replied to bonjour79's topic in General Nursing

    How exciting! I accepted my position into the ABSN (that's the accelerated program, correct?) and we moved here a few weeks ago! I have heard from multiple people that Elms is an excellent program and also hard to get into. We'll be in class together...

    Hi, I just got accepted to Elms College, in Chicopee, MA, and I'm 90% sure that's where I'm going to go. I haven't officially replied yet but will soon. I was wondering if there were other students on here, as well as former alumni that could tell me...

    I got mine in the mail. Good luck! I want to live in Portland too! I guess I have to wait to apply for next spring now.

    bonjour79 replied to lengland's topic in Pre-Nursing

    As everyone else said, you're definitely not too late. I started my prereqs at 32, am now 36 and waiting to hear back from nursing programs. It's never too late to follow your dreams and you have plenty of time! Good luck.
