1. Looking into ALL nursing schools..Advice, please?

   kamaboko replied to FumblingThrough's topic in Oregon

   You can put whatever value you like on my comments given that I got into PCC, but declined and dropped out of nursing all together. Do you have any volunteer time on record? That might be your best bet and/or take over whatever classes you didn't ...

2. PCC Wait List

   kamaboko replied to cjmama's topic in Oregon

   Sure thing. I hope you and everyone here enjoys the adventure.

3. PCC Wait List

   kamaboko replied to cjmama's topic in Oregon

   Pulling out altogether. I won't attend any program.

4. PCC Wait List

   kamaboko replied to cjmama's topic in Oregon

   Some lucky person will get a call today or tomorrow as I've just notified PCC that I will not be attending its nursing program. Best of luck to everyone. K

5. ITT Tech's New Program???

   kamaboko replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   Going to a non accredited school is like buying a car w/o a warranty. You can certainly do what you want, but it's not the smart move in my book. Heck, I got into a nursing program for this Fall and it's unlikely I'll even attend anyway.

6. ITT Tech's New Program???

   kamaboko replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   pjcna27, My no BS answer is go to a school with current accreditation.

7. ITT Tech's New Program???

   kamaboko replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   Care1, Your self-deprecating reply struck me as childish. As for all of those 'important' questions you posted, they struck me as pointless. Why is it important for me to know how long it takes another student to complete a program? Why is it impo...

8. ITT Tech's New Program???

   kamaboko replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   I'll toss my two bones into this conversation. As I've mentioned a number of times, a good friend of mine recruits in the med industry; primarily MD's and NP's. He too, is a former NP. His advice to me was to stay away from 'for profit' schools su...

9. PCC Wait List

   kamaboko replied to cjmama's topic in Oregon

   yellow6t, For what it's worth, I did submit my acceptance today.

10. What if you accept then decline before classes start?

    kamaboko replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

    Yes, you have it correct. I think I will say OK to PCC, then see what happens. Just wanted to get some public opinion.

11. What if you accept then decline before classes start?

    kamaboko posted a topic in Oregon

    This question is specific to PCC. The short story is that a job offer in the six figure range will be coming down the pipeline around mid July. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and decline it, particularly in this economy. At the same time...

12. Kaiser Permenante Northwest Laying off 700 RN's

    kamaboko replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Oregon

    Thanks for the update.

13. PCC Wait List

    kamaboko replied to cjmama's topic in Oregon

    I imagine a number of people are like me. I haven't decided to accept yet at PCC. I probably won't until the 15th. Too many things to consider and think through.

14. Kaiser Permenante Northwest Laying off 700 RN's

    kamaboko replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Oregon

    Thanks for posting. I was wondering about this story.

15. Kaiser Permenante Northwest Laying off 700 RN's

    kamaboko replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Oregon

    It's not that I would expect Kaiser to make an announcement, it's that I would expect at least a few of those 700 to contact a news station to get support for their cause. All it would take is one person out of 700. This is what I find hard to beli...
