I’m a 34 yo mom of 2 little ones, CCRN RN, have a mortgage to pay, and husband laid off due to COVID19. I also have severe asthma and am on a prednisone burst right now. My state licensing board has addressed this by saying we are required to follo...
The OHSU transition is non-competitive, the bridge program is mostly online as well. Also, as for clinicals, all OCNE programs have the same required clinicals/hours as OHSU; one does not have more than others. The biggest thing when comparing scho...
Christy, Thank you, and now, I did not really have medical experience, I did have a lot of volunteer experience though. I spent a few months in Baton Rouge and New Orleans helping with Katrina recovery, and worked directly with victims; and I was a ...
Hi everyone! Wanted to send my best wishes to you all, I was in your shoes last year and now I am a student at MHCC. If you have any questions about the program/process I'd be happy to help. As for MHCC, I'll say that I love the program and my coho...
Hey, I applied two years in a row, was waitlisted and then accepted each year at MHCC, but I turned down the 1st year in order to take a year off and work to pay off debt so I wouldn't have to work during nursing school. Here are my stats: 3.6 cumu...

@toekneejo I do not know what statistical rates you are referring to (whether say, occupational mortality or disease), I was referring to those gathered by the WHO (which I stated in my post), and I was also referring to those of developed nations......

You are assuming that constitutional rights are equivalent to basic human rights, when that is not necessarily true. You are merely claiming that healthcare is not a constitutional right by claiming it's not in the constitution. The constitution do...
I used to manage an Italian Coffee shop, and as much as I love it, the acidity in coffee gives me heartburn. So now I just take Guarana supplements as needed:)
I don't think it matters what people think of your appearance. In fact, if I'm at the hospital as a pt, I'm probably at my own worst; and I'd rather have McNormal than McDreamy taking care of me any day! The only thing I'd expect in any person in a ...
Nurse Maru, Jadelpn's suggestion is one that takes into account the environment at the least risk to the girl. It is one that will provide an open door for the girl where she may not have one, in which she has the opportunity to develop independence...
Not sure what you are basing your judgment here off of, but that's certainly not true for the majority of those I know who was home-schooled, and I know quite a few people from home-schooled backgrounds. In fact, the only person of my friends I know...
Your friend seems to know very little about nursing as a career if he's asking why they need to go to school. If he's too stubborn to help his daughter seek out a nursing school when the time comes, and it's a family dynamic where the daughter still...

Yes, I do know what it's like, don't judge me according to your own personal conflictions. Don't patronize me. I deleted my side comment questioning your moral development, but I really find it relevant. As human beings, we have a moral obligation...

I think you sound incredibly entitled and are missing the point of what it means to be a nurse. To think of it as just a job is to slap in the face to every nurse who's sacrificed their time and life to take care of others who need them, and this is...

Lilpoka: I got my shots at the co health dept, and was scheduled to get my titers, but they said they were no longer giving them when I showed up. Super bummed! So now I have to look somewhere else.
