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!
Hello all those CCC hopefuls! I just got an email offering me a spot off the wait list but, I will be declining my spot. I accepted a spot at Linfield College instead! I know this will make someone very happy!
I am on the waitlist for CCC, I check my email everyday hoping they will offer me a spot! It's nice to know the waitlist is still moving! I will keep my fingers crossed.
Has anyone been accepted off the waitlist that wasn't invited to orientation?
Pretty sure not. You had to attend the orientation to even be considered. I'm sure they will hit up the wait list people first who were invited to orientation.

Thanks for the, pogues60! Did they happen to tell you what number you were? Also, were you invited to the orientation? I just bought some scrubs yesterday for PCC's program because I didn't think CCC's waitlist was moving.

@pogues60 Oops, just read your reply about orientation. Still curious if you know what number you were. ?

Is anyone else in here admitted to PCC's program?
