1. Providence Scholars Program

   victoria113 replied to Junebug0710's topic in Oregon

   I haven't had any experience with providence either, but I bet that its far from a deal breaker. If you are immensely more qualified than a providence employee in other aspects, I doubt they will still choose the employee over the more qualified appl...

2. Acceptance letters????

   victoria113 replied to GVTA's topic in Oregon

   yes, they definately do go off of more than GPA, if you give them other resources. You kind of have to work the system a bit; I went in and spoke to the transfer counsuler when I saw how sparse the application was. It didn't make sense to me that a l...

3. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

   victoria113 replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon

   I suppose its all about what you want to do with your RN. If you don't want to get any sort of masters, then a community college would probably suit those needs perfectly. However, if you want to get any sort of masters or at least have that option o...

   victoria113 replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon

   Lisa, I haven't heard back either, and i'm a bit out of area too in Seattle. But I don't think you should be stressing at all-if you got the providence interview, from what I understood when I spoke to the nursing counsuler, it means that you are ac...

   victoria113 replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon

   I spoke to an advisor this winter and she said that you must be accepted into the school in order to get an interview. Apparently Providence has a list of people they want to interview, then they get the list of who is into the school from UP and kin...

7. Acceptance letters????

   victoria113 replied to GVTA's topic in Oregon

   Thanks for the clarification! Still though, that seems a little high. If its 400 dollars a paycheck, twice a month for 2 and a half years, that still comes out to about 24000 dollars. Assuming the scholarship is worth about 75,000 and the income tax ...

8. Acceptance letters????

   victoria113 replied to GVTA's topic in Oregon

   smASH this, I may be misunderstanding your reply, but something does not seem right with the math on the taxes for the scholarship. If the nurse is paying 796 dollars twice a month over three years, that comes out to about 57,000 dollars in taxes. I ...
