Just had my final interview for women's services at Salmon Creek today. Sounds like they're interviewing 25 people for 2 positions, so it's still pretty competitive! HR will call/e-mail decisions during the week of July 14

How were the integrated practicum placement opportunities at OHSU when you transfered pre-AAS? I've got to choose if I want to transfer pre-AAS or graduate with an associate's and start in the fall (in-person classes, not online - they decided to giv...

@ portland medic - You did exactly right and if they didn't get someone to come in to interview instead of you, then that's certainly their own fault. I know they did have cancellations that they were able to call in more people, so yours definitely ...

CCC interviewed 76 people I think I heard. I'm a student there and my clinical instructor was on the interview team and she said they had quite a few people not show up, which is really lame considering that if they had just let CCC know they weren't...

Lilpoka, I love Clackamas. The faculty are the best. Nursing school takes some getting used to, however. The teaching style is very different from what you're used to from pre-reqs and/or previous college experience. They set it up so that critical t...

With regard to cost at CCC: I'm a nursing student there this year and my cost for the year came out to $3,881. Fall term was $1,317, but I took Writing 123 that term also - you actually only have 9 nursing credits you have to take. Fall term is when ...

CCC's orientation is June 15. I'm a first year nursing student at Clackamas currently. Good luck to all you who have interviews! Getting in is the best feeling. : )
Sooo... I know nothing ever goes exactly according to plan, but as a normal human being I'm kind of trying to figure out what I want to do with my life and in what order, so I know what I need to do and when to try to make those things happen. You ne...

Anyone signing up for any non-nursing classes in the fall? I'm going to take writing 123 online - get it out of the way and get my 12 credits so I'll be considered full time.

I've accepted my spot at Clackamas. Just mailed my letter to PCC that I won't be attending there. And I declined my alternate spot (#14) at Mt. Hood. Best wishes to everyone still waiting!

I got into CCC and PCC! : ) I'm not sure which school to choose, as I didn't really have a preference. Any arguments for/against either school? My husband and I will be moving to the area of the school I choose to attend, so driving distances aren't ...

Thanks so much everyone! I appreciate you taking the time to give myself (and anyone else who reads your posts) info on yourselves and the kinds of things that made you great candidates for nursing school. I wish the best to all of you as you prepare...
