   Sumner College RN

   OliveOyl91 replied to schanelJ's topic in Oregon

   Sadly, Sumner doesn’t have a LPN-RN bridge program (at least not when I graduated in 2019). LPNs in my cohort had to start at the beginning of the RN program like everyone else. ? I’m not sure about Clark College in Vancouver, WA, but Lower Colu...

   Graduated from non-regionally accredited school and now cant get into NP school

   OliveOyl91 replied to DreaNurse's topic in NP Students

   I felt the same way you did when I was looking into schools for my BSN. I was just fortunate enough to have gone to a school that really stressed the fact that they’re nationally accredited, so I was somewhat emotionally prepared for my limited optio...

   OliveOyl91 replied to DreaNurse's topic in NP Students

   I don’t think the situation is as dire as you think. Breathe. Let’s talk through it. ❤️ Let me try and wrap my head around your post and see if I’m understanding what you’re trying to say. You have your ADN and BSN from a nationally accredited,...

   Sumner College RN 2020 June Cohort

   OliveOyl91 replied to Shelle's topic in School Programs

   @Shelle I had a classmate who worked for Legacy for several years and all through the nursing program. Right before we graduated they changed their policy regarding ADNs. They used to allow internal applicants to apply with their ADN with the conditi...

   Sumner College RN 2020 June Cohort

   OliveOyl91 replied to Shelle's topic in School Programs

   Thanks for the tag! Cohort 9 grad here! I am currently working at a PeaceHealth hospital with my ADN. I have classmates from my cohort who are working at Providence with their ADN. Legacy, Kaiser, and OHSU definitely want BSN-prepared nurses. Not qu...

   Sumner College RN

   OliveOyl91 replied to schanelJ's topic in Oregon

   Hi Kelsey! I had a 78% and made it into their program. Sumner is really great about their 100% acceptance rate. If you meet all their admissions requirements, they’ll find a place for you! Either with the current cohort, the next cohort, or a spot in...

   Nurse Residency Programs in Oregon, HELP!

   OliveOyl91 replied to novayogi96's topic in Oregon

   Good luck! ?? That’s what I’ve heard as well, regarding OB, but PeaceHealth in both Longview and Vancouver offer fellowships into ED, ICU, and OB for nurses with 1 year experience if you don’t get the opportunity now. ?

   Nurse Residency Programs in Oregon, HELP!

   OliveOyl91 replied to novayogi96's topic in Oregon

   Starting pay for RNs at Southwest is $38.98/hr, regardless of department. Plus RNs get a $3.00/hr evening differential and a $5.75 night differential. And you immediately start earning EIB and PTO. You can’t use it right away, but it starts accumulat...

   Saline Flushes - My Old As Dirt Question

   OliveOyl91 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

   The only time I scan a flush is when it pops up on the MAR as a scheduled PICC or central line maintenance.

    Nurse Residency Programs in Oregon, HELP!

    OliveOyl91 replied to novayogi96's topic in Oregon

    PeaceHealth and Providence will hire new grad nurses with their ADN - especially if you are already enrolled in a BSN program. Working as a CNA at either of these hospital systems will be a huge help in getting into their RN residencies, because you’...

    Waiting on license still....

    OliveOyl91 replied to Crissa's topic in Oregon

    I’m afraid I don’t have any experience or idea of the speed of the OSBN during these times. Have you checked online the status of your application? There’s a list of things that the state is either processing or still needs. I.e background check, tr...

    Sumner College RN

    OliveOyl91 replied to schanelJ's topic in Oregon

    As far as I’m aware of... no. At least the schools that I looked at. The school you complete your BSN at would have to be accredited by the same organizations, etc. I’m completing my RN-BSN online through Chamberlain and my Sumner credits weren’t tak...

    What was your residency like? (Starting ED residency in under 2 weeks)

    OliveOyl91 replied to SR8811's topic in General Nursing

    I’m also new to a residency program! I’m working orthopedics/trauma. I’m grateful because it’s the unit and shift I worked for as a CNA for three years. Although already an employee, I enjoyed the week of classroom orientation and got to meet new nur...

    ADN or BSN??? I’m confused.

    OliveOyl91 replied to madeybarbourr's topic in ADN/BSN

    I graduated with an AAS in September 2019 and once I passed my NCLEX-RN, I started my RN-BSN online in November. It was nice to dive in while still in the swing of things. I was lucky to already work for a hospital organization as a CNA that will hir...
