Linfield College - Spring 2020

[MAH]

Hi everyone! I started this page because I read posts from last cohorts from people discussing their admission process. If anyone has applied for Linfield College of Nursing's Spring 2020 application I was wondering if you would be interested in sharing your GPA, experience, etc. and we can also share when we hear back regarding acceptance! Thanks and I hope to hear back!

I think I will have to take out personal loans to cover the cost. I have saved a lot of money to use for myself while I’m in school so I don’t have to work a lot but their tuition is just so high.

Do you guys plan on working during school?

[MAH]

I haven’t decided. I would like to try the first semester without working so I’m not overwhelmed then after that try working as a CNA just twice a week for a little money. What about you guys, I haven’t decided ?

I have a Vietnamese friends, she is at Linfield now and she working part time as an CNA at night shift so she can study and work at the same time. Usually night shift is manageable because all the resident fell asleep and u check them every two hours for brief changing or changing the position to prevent pressure ulcer. Her plan is to apply for hospital as CNA2 because it is easier to get a job offer when u have hospital working experience rather than fresh graduate+ plus if u are a CNA2 at hospital after graduation they can offer u a RN position

What semester is she? And do you know her schedule? I’m curious how many hours Linfield ask for clinical and such

[Moe]

She is currently third term now. The most difficult term is the first one because u will have to digest such a hard core concepts from Pharmaco and Patho. Her clinical is flexible is the first term she will have to do at Long term care ( 8 hours) than the next at the acute care setting(12 hours). She also tell that there will be a lot of group work at Linfield so just be prepared in case u are an introvert ? But a lot people I know so far have good experience at Linfield. My husband coworkers are also from Linfield plus Linfield graduates usually have good impression on employers.
