1. Switching from outpatient to inpatient and feeling overwhelmed

   Pdxstudent posted a topic in General Nursing

   I have been a nurse for 3 years but I worked in an outpatient hematology oncology setting straight out of nursing school and remained there for the past 3 years. I felt confident and loved doing what I was doing but recently moved out of state and ha...

2. Applicants to OCNE 2016-2018

   Pdxstudent replied to bella0707's topic in Oregon

   I know there is a lot of anxiety with the essay questions but we are not able to share the questions asked. My biggest tip would be to google nursing school essay questions and just practice as many as you can.

3. I'm a bundle of nerves

   Pdxstudent posted a topic in General Students

   Well this is my last weekend of being the pre-nursing student version of me. My nursing program starts in 2 days and im mostly excited but a part of me is freaking out. I have all of my supplies and books and feel as prepared as I can but of course I...

4. Financial Aid and $165,000.00 debt

   Pdxstudent replied to Den1978's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That's a crazy amount of student loan debt to have not mention adding to it! I am also a second degree student and I had the option to go to a well known university which would have cost an arm and a leg so I chose a local community college program a...

5. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

   Pdxstudent replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

   I just have to say that I haven't even started my program yet but I don't find your story to be funny or "redic" at all. This is a professional program and should be treated as such. Even if you have an inside joke with one professor you shouldn't as...

6. Letters of recommendation needed for OHSU?

   Pdxstudent replied to maggiefrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was going to add too that you should check with ohsu to be sure in case anything changed since last year.

7. Letters of recommendation needed for OHSU?

   Pdxstudent replied to maggiefrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing

   No, letters of recommendation are not required for the undergrad program. In fact I was told last year that they won't even look at them if you submit them with your application.

8. Multiple vaccination uploads (I just need to vent)

   Pdxstudent posted a topic in General Students

   As a requirement for my nursing program we were given a list of everything that had to be uploaded to a particular website. This wasn't sprung on us and it didn't catch me by surprise. I was fully aware that we needed to have our vaccination records ...

9. Upper division classes in Orgon

   Pdxstudent replied to kmoenck's topic in General Students

   Well it sounds like you have a great shot at getting in! I felt like my proctored essay went well. Once we started the time flew by so fast! I would suggest maybe when the time gets closer to practice typing out some mock essay questions and also rea...

10. Upper division classes in Orgon

    Pdxstudent replied to kmoenck's topic in General Students

    I'm starting the program this Fall. :) I'm excited to get started. I took all of my pre-reqs at PCC too. I hope you're able to get your question answered from OHSU. I feel fortunate that I won't have many other classes to take and can focus on the nu...

11. Portland Community College Fall

    Pdxstudent replied to 12thirtyfour's topic in Oregon

    I received the invite on FB for the mentor group page but does anyone know if a group page was started just for the class of 2018? Just curious! Thanks!

12. Upper division classes in Orgon

    Pdxstudent replied to kmoenck's topic in General Students

    Hi there, I would suggest contacting OHSU to find out if there are any restrictions or anything like that for the upper division classes. I actually need to do the same thing. I'm starting at PCC this fall and might also need a few more upper divisi...

13. Quick and easy meals for busy nursing students!

    Pdxstudent replied to Erythropoiesis's topic in General Students

    Well I haven't started yet...I start my program next month...but I'm in the same boat. My husband will be working full time and my kids are busy with their schedules and I won't have time to make a fresh hot meal every night. I found some great idea...

14. Bookbag for nursing school?

    Pdxstudent replied to abarreto's topic in General Students

    I'm going with a rolling backpack for a couple of reasons. First of all I can't study at home when my husband and kids are around so I plan on spending most of my time on campus studying. Secondly, and this is just a personal preference, but I like t...

15. New Laptop!

    Pdxstudent replied to mkcarlsonxo's topic in General Students

    I recently purchased the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 and I love it so far. I was debating between that and a MacBook Air but the Lenovo was a little cheaper and came with more storage space. I also love that I can fold it any way I want so it can be used...
