   Thx Portland medic. I think I'm going to go with Pcc even though it's killing me. I want to go to np school eventually and can't imagine being 100k + in debt. It's just going to take me a lot longer to get there. At least I'll get to ohsu eventually....

   Well I am likely to give up my spot so that should give you hope. I just can't take on that sort of debt when I plan to go to np school eventually. Pcc here I come. Fyi I was given 12500 in fed loans, the rest to be private. My efc was 6100. Good lu...

   Congrats Portland medic! I actually just got a call from ohsu absn program and am now trying to decide between Pcc and ohsu. You don't seem scared by the difference in cost - I'd love to hear your thought process to help me decide. Thanks!

   I just got a call this afternoon from OHSU offering me a spot in the summer cohort! I'm kind of overwhelmed trying to figure out logistics. How has financial aid worked out for other admitted students? I'm about to call them, but am wondering if t...

   I spoke with a current first year pcc student this week and am confused by some of the posts I've read here now. He said that no one from his class has left the program and just a few from the class ahead of him have left. I think someone earlier had...

   Hey PCC people, I'm paranoid and just want to double check - the first orientation is 6/5 from 9-11? I called the health admissions number and left a message asking for more information last week and no one has called me back. I'm not sure how they...

   Hey Bugg, I'm on the waitlist so don't know anything about financial aid yet. Did they offer you nursing student loans? Were you supposed to be responsible for seeking out your own private loans? I'm a little concerned about this as well. I'm won...

    I just found out I was waitlisted and am also wondering how many people are on the waitlist. It seems like many of the people on this thread were. I am just happy to have made the alternate list though since getting in at all seemed like a longshot...

    i think i got either 59 or 60 points at PCC and have a 4.0 prereq gpa with a prior bachelor's degree. i'm not sure if they took my patient contact experience or not which is why i'm not sure about whether i have 59 or 60 points. i think it's bet...

    Got my PCC letter yesterday as well! It sounds as though the process is different than at MHCC - the letter just says 1.5 hours for the essay plus some time to print. Is there reason to dress up? What are people wearing to take the essay? It seem...
