Applicants to OCNE 2016-2018

Published

Hello everybody! Long time lurker and first time poster on this site. I was hoping to start a thread to see where everybody is at on their points and etc. Some info about myself I suppose: Applied at PCC, MHCC and CCC, I have experience as a CNA and completed all my pre-req's with 3.9 GPA. Feeling pretty good but not when its compared to 800 other applicants! Thought this would be a good way to see if emails were being sent in the next few weeks and waitlist info. Good luck everyone :D

I think I was one of those three with you lol if it was the first group... I have the pcc essay tomorrow. I feel like the CCC interview prepped me with some ideas for pcc. I probably only got half a page done in the time, hope that was good enough! It'll be like 2-3 questions in 50 minutes tomorrow :eek:

50 minutes was plenty of time. I finished and had time to go back over and edit. I felt like it went pretty good! I was worried that I would be pressed for time but I wasn't. I mean I probably could have used some more time just to change or add things but I think for the questions it was just enough.

Just did mine, went pretty good I think. Nothing was completely unexpected as far as the questions go. I'm probably more nervous for the mhcc tomorrow. I'm really hoping I get in somewhere :/ another month of waiting till we all know!

I feel so nervous to just be done with the whole process. It feels really final. Haha. Like... alright, that was your shot. Hopefully you didn't foul it up to bad and you get in SOMEWHERE. You will do great tomorrow, I'm sure. I have CCC tomorrow morning.

I let my boyfriend read it and he said 'its good but next time don't use any contractions (don't, it's, etc).' Like I am not going to stress about that now, jeez! So reassuring :dead: I'm usually the one giving him writing advice too lol

Thank you and good luck tomorrow! I think the Ohsu one (from what I gathered) was similar to ccc, so you'll be prepped.

Well, I just got an email from MHCC inviting me to their interview. The email states they decided to invite more people. So check your email if you have already been declined!

I don't know if anyone else had this experience but I thought I rocked my PCC essay only to reread it in my car and find TWO typing errors that spellcheck didn't get because they were grammar things. Did two words just ruin my chances?

This is the worst feeling. :(

Going by the charting of a lot of nurses I work with, a couple of grammatical errors shouldn't be an issue :laugh:
