   I completely understand. Good luck in your adventure! :)

2. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

   jtpdx replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon

   I think you still apply to OHSU! I had the same stats, 3.9, previous degree, previous career. I know finances are tough but something always works out. They have a top notch program and if you want to further your education, I think it might help y...

6. Am I crazy?

   jtpdx replied to yogamom's topic in Oregon

   Hi Andie74, Congrats on making your decision regarding OHSU! I will be one of your classmates! I'm not sure how to private message on this web site, but wanted to introduce myself and chat about what we need to do prior to September. This is an exc...

7. At what age did you decide on nursing?

   jtpdx replied to Wan2BRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm 40 and start nursing school in the Fall. I have a previous bachelor's degree so this will be my second career. While I was a little intimidated going back to school AT MY AGE, I was happy to discover that I was never the oldest in my class. It...

8. Escorting patients to labor

   jtpdx replied to rickdon19's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I think that's a little overkill. I used to work in an admitting department and we always took the patients up to the floor, after calling L&D to let them know we were on our way. If they were in active labor, we brought them up in a wheelchair...

9. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

   jtpdx replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

   Curious Me- Not sure how to send you a private message, still figuring out this Web site. I'll get there! I'm starting the BSN program at PDX campus, wondering what words of wisdom you could share. I did really well in my pre-reqs as well, but wasn'...

    31?!? You are a spring chicken! I won't divulge my age, but I've got some years on you! :) Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought I'd go back for another degree, but here I go! You have plenty o' time!

11. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    jtpdx replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    Since I started this thread, I thought I should give my status. In all humbleness, I was accepted and will accept as this is my only option this go around. And, it's a good one! I didn't have the math pre-req met (it had expired) so I wasn't able to...

    jtpdx replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    That's great to know the letters won't be mailed on Monday, I won't run to the mailbox on Tuesday expecting it! :) I'm not sure what OHSU focuses on for admittance as this is my first time applying. Due to sheer volume, they must have a GPA cut-of...

13. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

    jtpdx replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon

    Does anyone know if PCC interviews all of their 100 successful applicants? Or if you have like 60+ points, you're in kind of thing. I didn't apply this year to PCC, but planning on next year. Thanks! :)

14. OHSU BSN PDX program applicants - 2010

    jtpdx replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    Sorry to hear that you weren't accepted, but hope you can hold your head up high as only 10% get in, if I'm doing math right in that they accept 100 out of 1005 applicants. Yikes, that's some tough competition!!! Did PCC give you an option to talk ...

    jtpdx replied to jtpdx's topic in Oregon

    I'm only able to apply to Portland area schools, but know that really limits my chances. My husband has a great job and we are settled in the area. This will be my second career, but if I were young and single, I'd apply anywhere and everywhere!
