Congrats!!!! That's my dream job! Did you do an immersion year there or an internship? If you have any tips on how you landed such an amazing first gig, please share! Congrats again!
Hi Art, I don't commute from Salem but I am a current student there. I don't think anyone from my cohort commutes from Salem either, but I'm sure in one of the classes someone does!! My advice to you would be to call the School of Nursing and ask if...
I have a few questions for experienced OB nurses and was hoping someone would be willing to share their thoughts with a nursing student! I went into nursing school with the full intention of becoming an OB nurse. Once I started school, I saw that no...
You're welcome! It sounds like you're in a really good position right now! Nothing to do now but cross your fingers and wait (so much easier said than done). As far as acceptance goes, it varies from year to year depending on how many applications...
kmdguy, I've been exactly where you are and I know that this part, the waiting for answers after you submit your apps is the worst!! Here's what I can tell you. I am also working on my second career, as you are. I also put everything else aside to...
I love the plan, but there may be a hitch. I'm not sure where you are doing your pre-reqs, but at PCC, A&P I (BIO 231) is a pre-req to get into nutrition. Nutrition is much more difficult class than it sounds like it might be. So, you need to ...
You can absolutely retake Nutrition and Human Development again and have them override the previous grades. In fact, it's highly recommended that you do so. As far as financial aid and if they will pay, I honestly don't have any idea. I didn't hav...
In rereading my response, I realized I probably wasn't as clear as I could have been. What I was getting at with the pre-reqs is that there is a big difference between what is required to apply, and what is required to start. With OCNE schools, it'...
You are not alone! It's very nerve wracking when you are just starting to tackle the pre-reqs and application process. A&P is hugely important, make sure you get all A's. Your GPA is paramount in getting noticed so if you need to repeat any ot...

They denied you for a personal loan or an alternative student loan? They have very different approval rates. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!! It's my understanding that even with very poor credit, alternative student loans get approved. ...

Weird...the link isn't showing up. Go the wells fargo website, click student loans, then "professional students" to find info on the MedCap loan. Good luck!!

Hi Lisa! Congrats on your acceptance! When you applied for the loans, were you trying to just get standard personal loans? Personal loans are more difficult to get. Students loans (also known as alternative loans) are much easier. They have a dec...

Congrats on graduating from UofP!! I'm in Portland also and know what a fantastic program that is. I'm just starting the BSN program at OHSU I lived in SLO for a few years and just wanted to add that you should check out French Hospital. I did c...
Hi John! I know I'm a little late, but I just came across your post and felt compelled to reply. I'm a COT and have over 15 years experience in ophthalmology. How long have you been a tech? Are you certified? Being a tech is a fantastic job and g...
