   Don't over estimate linfield's relationship with legacy...it is embarrassing how little that relationship is leveraged in the clinical rotation assignments

2. Recent Unitek RN Grads/Current Attendees

   pnlu007 replied to madelynsmom's topic in California

   I am actually in Oregon but am from the Bay Area originally. I work at the a prestigious teaching hospital here. We recently had a talk with our chief of nursing and she described how the hospital would not hire grads from for-profit institutions lik...

3. New RN program at Sumner College???

   pnlu007 replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon

   I hope you take my advice to heart. Summer College is a for-profit school and generally these programs are of low quality and high price. These types of programs began popping up when the phrase "nursing shortage" became popular. What is true now i...

4. VA Hospital Portland

   pnlu007 replied to My Rose's topic in Oregon

   I was a student nurse technician and was offered a position for when I graduate in August. From what I can tell, there is something called the Valor program but I haven't come met anyone on my floor who came from there. The majority were hired from ...

   pnlu007 replied to madelynsmom's topic in California

   One last thing, I am so passionate about you not attending that school, post some messages so you can get private message privileges and we can really talk about it. It's 15 posts I think to get it. I can be wrong though.

6. Recent Unitek RN Grads/Current Attendees

   pnlu007 replied to madelynsmom's topic in California

   Hello, I would advise you to think long and hard about this. Long and hard. I have a sister who went to Unitek and failed to pass the NCLEX on 3 attempts. It could be argued that she isn't bright enough, or it could be blamed on the education. Seco...

7. How many times have you applied?

   pnlu007 replied to Sartorius1's topic in Oregon

   I came across this post, and can feel for you guys. I am actually in the accelerated bsn program at linfield (started Summer 2012). My guess is that many of you do not already have a BS, so you are applying for the regular track. Linfield values d...

8. Calling all nursing students who are attending or have attended Linfield College

   pnlu007 replied to gkash's topic in Oregon

   i am in the summer 2012 cohort and just finished my second semester of the accelerated program...honestly theres gonna be good teachers and poor teachers, like any other school. truth is if you consider yourself to be a strong student, linfield will...

9. Samuel Merritt ABSN Summer 2012

   pnlu007 replied to wannabnurse81's topic in California

   NishaA I got accepted but ended up choosing another program. My tip is to kill the essays. Considering you are required to write three of them I think indicates SMU takes them serious. I actually have some good ideas for some essays that I think m...

10. Obama health care law upheld.

    pnlu007 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism

    The truth is I don't know what the law will mean. If another monster has been created or we are one step closer to the world Marx envisioned. I for one, am actually hoping the law grease the wheels for some hiring-yes selfish, because I can't expec...

11. Obama health care law upheld.

    pnlu007 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism

    this comment illustrates why a discussion can be so challenging...you go from thousands buy insurance and cant get health care, to thousands go into hospitals to get put out-so you pretty much covered it all, those who buy insurance cant get health c...

13. Obama health care law upheld.

    pnlu007 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism

    I admit my reply was snarky, but it wasn't a personal attack...lets not exaggerate on the cost of health care okay. There is no way the plan for a healthy 20 year old girl with no preexisting conditions will be over $500 a month, unless you choose o...

14. Obama health care law upheld.

    pnlu007 replied to strawberryfields's topic in Activism

    Quote from SuperMeghan91 I'm very excited and I'm glad this has been put to rest. I've been uninsured or on medicaid for nearly my entire life. I know so many others who are uninsured and unable to get insurance due to the cost. I've gone to the ER w...

    i think this scenario is a perfect reason why change needs to happen. your situation is tragic. now flip that and what if the drunk driver who caused the accident didnt have health insurance...national health care is a complicated issue, above my p...
