I know that it's early, but I really wanted to get a jump on this. I have read the past two years' threads from start to finish and have seen the amazing support given by everyone involved. Considering how competitive it is for nursing school admission, it is extremely informative and heart-warming. I will be applying to all the schools in the Portland/Salem area to which I will qualify. This next year is going to be rough, but ever since I started on this journey I have loved every moment.
A little about me:
I am 33, married, no kids.
I live in Salem and have taken the bulk of my prerequisites at Chemeketa.
I have been working as a Dental Assistant for 2 years and feel that it is supremely unfair that many of the OCNE schools do not count dental assisting towards their "direct patient care" discretionary points. (I went to school for a year to become a dental assistant. I have dealt with medical emergencies, bodily fluids and have had my fingers in mouths on a daily basis! I'm grumbling, I know.)
I have a 4.0 GPA (so far) for all of the OCNE prerequisites (My single B in one of three Chemistry classes will haunt me when I apply to Linfield)
I am still one term away from finishing my prerequisites for the majority of the schools to which I plan on applying
I don't really think that I will be lucky enough to be accepted to any of the Portland-area community colleges due to my lack of necessary discretionary points (if any of you CURRENT students have found otherwise, I would be very interested to find out what you know!)
I will be applying anyway, because I know that I should at least make it onto a waiting list or two and as I have seen in previous threads - they do go through their waiting lists!
I sincerely hope that all my hard work will pay off and that I will be accepted SOMEWHERE
Again, I know this is early, but I look forward to seeing the responses from everyone!
Sorry to hear that, I may be receiving such things today then, for the ABSN at Linfield. You have a really good resume, I think its awesome you work with at risk youth. I hope you get in somewhere, I'm surprised you weren't accepted to Linfield as they have a strong community based focus.
Just got my rejection letter to Linfield Fall BSN program
Me too, landij *hugs* I'm really disappointed. Everyone tells me to just keep slogging through and trying..I hope you will do the same. It sounds like you have awesome experience and are a caring person, don't lose hope.
I'm sorry guys. I have yet to receive anything from PCC or CCC or OHSU, but I know rejections really suck. Especially after working so hard. Keep your chin up!
"They said it would be worth it. They didn't say it would be easy."
I got mine! Super happy and relieved, especially since I got a really early rejection email from OHSU... But, things work out the way they're supposed to, and I'm gracious. :) So excited to meet everyone! Anyone have to move to PDX to be near Linfield/and what about dog friendly? Any suggestions?
I'm still waiting to hear from CCC as well. I feel like in past threads it was around this time that they sent out point confirmation e-mails..but who knows what that even means! I'm checking my e-mail like a madwoman, though!
I keep checking my e-mail too. I think in the next week or so we should hear something from both CCC and PCC. Well, that's what I'm hoping for anyways. This waiting is driving me nuts. I think its driving my friends nuts too. Its all I think about.
