Applicants to Portland area schools

U.S.A. Oregon

Published

Greetings fellow future nurses! I just mailed my application packets for Mt. Hood CC, Clackamas CC, and Portland CC today and excited to be done with them. I have my proctored essay for OHSU this Wednesday and am a little worried because I have NO idea what is going to be asked. I haven't been able to get any feedback on what is on any of the essays. I am also applying to Chemeketa but am probable wasting my time as I am missing 2 of the pre-recs required there that aren't required at the OCNE schools. Well, the worst they can say is no, right?

Anyway, the Oregon Nursing Programs sections has been a little dead lately so I was hoping to spark some dialogue. This is my first year applying and I'm already getting a little stressed. I kind of have a lot riding on getting in somewhere next fall. My fiance and I are kind of planning on it. I'm hoping that doesn't backfire! How's it going with everyone?

Oh, I thought that was just for wait-listed students because that was the date I had to send in my reply since I am on the wait-list for Ashland.

I called OHSU directly and they said that they are still waiting for 30% of the students to reply, so those who got in, may have another deadline and that is the one I am wondering about. Are you saying its the same, May 25th?

BTW.... congrats to all that got into CCC. I am wait-listed for that one as well. Gotta just be patient and see what God has planned for me. Do you guys know the points you receive in the interview?

Hey everyone! I've been following the posts for quite some time and just decided to chime in. Congrats to everyone that is in a program! I'm wait listed for PCC(61) and UofP(80). I'm conflicted about a couple of things, I've taken my pre-reqs for linfield minus microbiology but this application period doesn't notify until oct 1st. Thats where I'd love to go but of course would just be happy to be accepted and in a program. I'm also curious about people thoughts on George fox I'm taking their prereqs as well. Honestly I know it's great to be on a wait list but idk how far they go on the lists, someone at PCC said usually around 50.Thoughts?

Malameda: I was accepted into OHSU Portland, and my letter had a May 25th (postmarked) deadline. I am not sure what the other OHSU campuses set as their deadline. Good luck!!

I got into CCC so will be declining my #9 alternate spot at MHCC. Hope this helps someone out there! Congrats to everyone, it's been a looooong road! We should all be very proud of ourselves for even making it this far. Can't wait to meet my future classmates on the 15th!:w00t:

I wanted to let everyone know that I sent in my decline letter for PCC waitlist #18 today, and I am declining my acceptance to MHCC. Here I come Clackamas. I still can't believe how tough of a decision it was. But it will be fun to meet everyone that chats on here, on my birthday! Yes, June 15th, our orientation day for Clackamas, just happens to be my B-Day, lol.

I hope some of you get to move up or in to one of the spots for PCC or MHCC. Good luck to you all! :yelclap:

Hey everybody! I also have been a silent viewer of this forum but I wanted to add in my application status so that those who are waiting to see if they are making their way closer to a spot at MHCC off of the alternate list (just like I am doing for PCC) will be encouraged. I have a spot in the Winter cohort for MHCC that I will be declining if I get into PCC (waitlisted at 10). So there ya go!

I also wanted to give my stats to encourage others (applying next year?) that you don't have have to have a 4.0 and be perfect to get into nursing school. I don't know my exact GPA but I have 3 B's in Micro, WR 121 and nutrition and I only have 9 mo. of CNA I experience. Keep plugging away!

Well, it is official. I just notified Mt. Hood that I am declining my position for the Fall term. Ugh! I still can't believe how difficult it was to do that. I was really torn between CCC and Mt. Hood. But I feel really good about Clackamas. I am still in a bit of shock that I'm going to nursing school! OMG! Is anyone else out there still in a daze about it all. WOW!

Lilpoka,

I've not yet decided where I'm going. I'm leaning toward Clackamas, but it's not a done deal yet. I'm super excited, and will be even more happy when it's all settled. I'm going to go to PCC orientation and get the flavor of the program, and then make up my mind.

Lilpoka... I'm in a daze about it too!! It still doesn't feel real to me and probably won't until orientation and/or the first day of nursing school!! Woo hoo :)

Is there anyone that got accepted to CCC, but declining your spot for another school or other reasons?

I have a friend who's on the waitlist for CCC and I'm curious to know what her chances are of getting a spot this year.

I am curious as well! :)

Glad to hear good news today at PCCs nursing info session! Last year they went through their whole wait list. Since I'm #61 that's good news that gives me hope. I'll still bite my nails till I get the call though.....ugh...the suspense!

I declined my spot at CCC for my alternate position at MHCC. I'm confident about the decision after calling MHCC today and finding they've already moved through 13 of their alternate spots as of this morning, and we're not even through June yet. So there's a spot for a CCC alternate open!
