  1. Anyone starting RN to BSN online in Fall 2014

    I'm in this class too! I feel like I'm missing something though. I was under the impression that there were actual lectures, not just 10 min worth of short clips. I noticed that there's quite a bit of reading to do for next week, so maybe it's just h...
  2. ITT Tech's New Program???

    the.truth.ferret- What ITT Tech location did you work at? I have heard plenty of bad things about their school, but the Portland ITT Tech just had 100% pass rate on their NCLEX for summer term (graduated in Aug). The students that just graduated last...
  3. Interview at Shriner's Hospital

    Did you get the job? How much nursing experience do you have? I am almost done with nursing school and my pediatric rotation was at Shriners. It was very different that the larger hospitals! Some days I liked it and other days really didn't. The hard...
  4. Going back to nursing school after having a baby

    I feel your pain. I found out I was pregnant with kiddo number three right before I started my nursing pre-reqs. I took a term off after having her, but I knew if I didn't start back that I never would. Now only have 9 months left in my program, but ...
  5. ITT Tech's New Program???

    I would be careful of where you get your info. ITT Portland hasn't graduated a class yet and wont until September, so your friend will be the first class to graduate. It's going to be hard for a new nursing program to get good clinical sites when the...
  6. PCC nursing program VS MHCC nursing program

    I am a Mt. Hood student and it definitely has it's pros and cons. Many of the instructors are great, however there are some that are not. We usually have multiple instructors teaching our core class and they are not always on the same page. They are ...
  7. Wait Lists in Oregon

    I agree that a 3.4 seems low too, but Linfield looks more at life experience and essays than grades. OCNE schools are all about the points. I have heard of people with high GPA's that didn't get in, but if you can get the extra points (like for getti...
  8. Wait Lists in Oregon

    What schools in Oregon have a wait list? Once you complete the application and interviews (at most schools) they accept a certain amount and put the rest on wait lists. I think what Meghan is refering to is being put on a waitlist and waiting your tu...
  9. CNA in OR or WA? What is better?

    Most hospitals want a year of experience. You could work at a nursing home for a year and then apply to hospitals. You also may be able to get on as a hospital tech for legacy. They want you to have a CNA2, but I don't think they require experience. ...
  10. CNA in OR or WA? What is better?

    I don't think your CNA will transfer to Washington from Oregon. And you don't have to take two classes to become a CNA in Oregon. The CNA1 allows you to work in a nursing home and a CNA2 allows you to work in acute care (hospitals). Many places offer...
  11. Breckinridge Portland, HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    Thanks so much for the info!! How far into the program are you? Part of our concern is that they have been a little flakey with returning phone calls and they don't always answer our questions. Do you know how long their RN to BSN bridge program is? ...
  12. Breckinridge Portland, HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    How is the program so far? My husband was accepted there, but we are really nervous and up in the air because of all the bad things we have heard. Are the teachers good? Do you know where the clinical sites are? I heard they are all LTC and could be ...
  13. Applicants to Portland area schools

    Good luck guys! I was in the same spot as you last year and I thought the wait was going to kill me! Luckily I survived (and you will too!!) and it was worth it! Just hang in there!!!
  14. Wait Lists in Oregon

    Oregon doesn't have waitlists. Admission to our nursing programs is based mostly on grades. They also look at things like CNA experience and some have you write essays. Most of the deadlines are Feb 15th, so you could apply this year if you did it to...
  15. Pharm online

    It really depends on the teacher and the style of class. I took pharm online lest term and got an A, but I don't feel like I learned that much. It also depends on how much time and energy you are willing to invest! Good luck!
