2. Q's for Linfield Nursing Graduates

   khazel2002 replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Oregon

   I have to agree with the previous 2 replies. I graduated from Linfield in Dec 2006. Got a job working on a med/onc floor in Jan 2007. Worked nights for about 14 months, and I felt like a typical new grad. I was constantly learning, but was right abou...

4. Any Spring 2009 Linfield Cohorts?

   khazel2002 replied to lilikoi's topic in Oregon

   Congrats for getting into Linfield! I know the post is intended for Spring '09 cohorts, but I had to reply anyway. I graduated from the accelerated 2nd degree program at Linfield a couple of years ago. I got my acceptance in Apr '05, and started that...

5. Best Bsn Program In Portland?

   khazel2002 replied to NOINU's topic in Oregon

   I went to Linfield, which was a great program for me, but may not be so for everyone. I worked at OHSU for 7 years (before nursing school) and the reviews I heard from friends who went there were not so favorable - and, I may be wrong, but isn't the ...

6. BSN job opportunities in Portland

   khazel2002 replied to circanw's topic in Oregon

   As a recent new grad (Dec 2006) of a BSN accelerated program, I have to say that I too had serious fears of getting a job. Don't let what you read on this website discourage you...there are quite a few opportunities out there. I ended up doing the Le...

7. So Confused! Programs hard to get into

   khazel2002 replied to Rtkam's topic in Oregon

   I would recommend applying everywhere you possibly can. Both Linfield (Portland Campus) and University of Portland have accelerated programs for RN-to-be's who already have a previous Bachelor's degree in another field. I just graduated from Linfie...

8. How do I prep for night shift

   khazel2002 replied to khazel2002's topic in New Nurse

   I hope people keep posting more tips, but I just wanted to say "THANK YOU!!" for all your feedback. I just got married in August, and spending as much time with my husband (who works days Mon-Fri) is very important. :smilecoffeecup: I think I have ...

   Hi there, I'm soon to graduate, and will be going to work for a Med-surg floor during the night shift. I've worked nights before, years ago, but now I tend to be an early morning person. Does anyone have sugestions on how I may prep for the night shi...

10. I froze!

    khazel2002 replied to bowkerj's topic in General Students

    Hi! I too go to the same school and all I have to say is No Worries!!! I think that most of my cohort would agree - that section is very stressfull (in fact, it was my least favorite part of that class.) I can honestly say that NOBODY responded ver...

11. No Luck for Me :(

    khazel2002 replied to ashbowlen's topic in Oregon

    I want to put my two cents in: #1 - I agree about the interview and the streamlining of pre-reqs. It would make applying sooo much easier. #2 - I have no doubt that the info you passed on about the GPA is what you were told. But I have had a diffe...

12. We have to dress up in our bathing suits to give each other baths

    khazel2002 replied to anfe's topic in General Students

    I know how you feel. We did the same thing in lab this summer. We were assigned in groups of 3, and we were given the option of bathing two on one or taking turns. Then, they gave us our assignments. I was put together with 2 of the 5 men in our ...

    khazel2002 replied to guest27716's topic in Oregon

    Not true. I am in Linfield's accelerated program. I started in June (2005) and will get done in December 2006 (18 months). It is designed for people who already have a bachlor's degree, but they have other curriculums for sophomore-entry and juni...

    khazel2002 replied to wndsrfnurse's topic in Oregon

    I too had been thinking about nursing for awhile...I was working in a clinical setting, loved working with the patients, but hated the the fact that I had no way to advance in my career without another degree. I finally decided to start working on t...
