Applicants to Portland area Nursing Programs for 2015

Published

Hi everyone! I am so excited that application season for 2015 is finally here. I am new to this board, but read several threads last year and learned a lot in preparation for my own applications. It would be great to hear from others who are in the same boat this year. :)

I have a BA in History, but have completed most of my pre-req's at PCC. My cumulative GPA is only 3.46, but my pre-req's will be a 4.0 (provided this Fall term continues to go well...) My top choice is UP, partly because I work for Providence and would love to continue to work for them as a nurse one day. I would also LOVE to go to OHSU of course! I am also applying to Linfield, PCC and possibly CCC. I am curious to hear which programs people are applying for. Such an exciting time to be moving towards our career goals!

Does anyone know how many they accept at ccc?? I know pcc is 80 but I don't see anything for ccc!

Had my essay at PCC yesterday morning. They gave us earplugs if we wanted any, and I didn't hear the lady tell us we had five minutes left and I was totally in the zone. Good thing I had many of my points laid out already, though! I still feel good about it =) Excited to hear back the week of May 11!

Good thing you had it all laid out! I think it went well! Found out that ccc is only accepting 18-24 this year instead of 40! I don't have high hopes for getting into that program now

Hey everyone! I'm so excited/anxious about this years application process! This will be my second year applying. I have the proctored essay with Chemeketa on the 11th and an interview with Clackamas on the 22nd. For those who applied to Clackamas what do your points look like? I have a 3.8 GPA and have 55.88/64 points with CCC. Good luck all!

I have 54 points and a 4.0 pre-req GPA with CCC. I'm not sure about PCC... I don't remember! Good luck!

How do you think you did? I had both my CCC and MHCC interviews today. I really liked CCCs format and even though the essay question was kind of hard (in my opinion), I was happy with it! I felt comfortable and would look forward to being admitted there. MHCC on the other hand - I was less than impressed with the interview process. Meh...

Wow two interviews in one day! I'm hoping I did well on the CCC interview! I really liked how the interview format was, and not so much on the essay, but it's all good (: how did you think you did?

The essay prompt was so difficult! I think I did alright I just didn't have so much to say. The interview was difficult because I don't think I said anything that would make me standout in just the four questions. Esp since only 1 out of 5 is getting in. Did they mention when they'll let us know? I think I remember them saying mid-may but I also that I read online that it would be beginning of May.
