1. New Grad starting out at SNF?

   BSN2010 replied to violet_violet's topic in Job Hunt

   I had sent out 50+ applications by the time I was finally hired at a SNF. I had a few people tell me that same statement but quickly realized this: how can you loose skills at a SNF if you have none to loose? As a new grad, we do have some skills. ...

2. Q's for Linfield Nursing Graduates

   BSN2010 replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Oregon

   Hi punkdmunkey, I am a Linfield grad and I am happy to tell you about my experience at Linfield. Sure, we may not have as much training in skills as ADN training, but we are not at any disadvantage compared to any of the other BSN programs around Po...

4. No. Don't Move Her Can't You See the Baby Is Coming?

   BSN2010 replied to Lindsey McGraw's topic in General Nursing

   My goodness that is hilarious! I mean, we are being taught in nursing school that the best way to deal with a person's dementia delusions is to go along with it but, man, I had no idea how involved it can get! Hahaha!

5. Newbie here, just taking prereqs

   BSN2010 replied to NewPathforKJ's topic in Oregon

   I don't think any particular CC would be better than another, just whatever one is most convenient to you. Some of the CC give you extra acceptance points for taking your pre-reqs there but I can't remember which ones those were. Maybe look at that...

6. Newbie here, just taking prereqs

   BSN2010 replied to NewPathforKJ's topic in Oregon

   Hey there, welcome! I took pre-reqs, including the entire A&P series at PCC. I applied to Linfield and OHSU accelerated programs and Mt.Hood and Clackamas community college. I was invited to interviews at the community colleges and accepted at ...

7. Linfield Orientation Exam?

   BSN2010 replied to madrecarga08's topic in Oregon

   madrecarga08, I took the HESI this morning. It's no big deal at all. All we did was the reading comprehension and they just want to see where we are. We get an hour to do the computer test, which is more than enough time. The answers of the multi...

8. OHSU or Linfield

   BSN2010 replied to lilikoi's topic in Oregon

   That makes a lot of sense, thanks for clearing that up marachne :)

9. OHSU or Linfield

   BSN2010 replied to lilikoi's topic in Oregon

   You know, I often wonder what kind of effect the tort cap loss has on all students of OHSU. Now that OHSU can now be sued for any amount of money until a new tort cap is put in place, it makes me wonder if any kind of a drawback on the amount of han...

11. Linfield Orientation Exam?

    BSN2010 replied to madrecarga08's topic in Oregon

    Hi Madrecarga08, I am in the summer entry program at Linfield and our orientation is June 23. I think that we are scheduled to take the HESI in early July though. I don't think it's that hard or important, I think it is just to see what reading lev...

12. Linfield Accelerated prgram worth the tuition?

    BSN2010 replied to 2xtrouble's topic in Oregon

    Great analysis Dental Hygienist, I always forget to factor in the amount of money one makes as an RN after graduation, that's a good point. 2xtrouble, it sounds like you have your mind made up and you are just nervous about getting in. I think that ...

13. Linfield Accelerated prgram worth the tuition?

    BSN2010 replied to 2xtrouble's topic in Oregon

    One last thought. If you look at the class schedule for community colleges, about 12 units out of the 15-17/quarter is nursing classes, the last units are dedicated to support and pre-req classes (microbiology, writing, etc) so if you have these do...

14. Linfield Accelerated prgram worth the tuition?

    BSN2010 replied to 2xtrouble's topic in Oregon

    I completely agree with LinfieldNursingGuy. I am in the same boat as him in that I know I will eventually go on to higher education (masters or Ph.D.) so it is worth it to me to complete a BSN right away. I would look closely into the costs of RN t...
