1. OHSU and other PDX area applicants for 2009

   OntheHorizon replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon

   The accelerated program starts in the summer and students have already completed some of the courses as prerequisites (such as A&P, nutrition, microbiology...). I don't think there is a way to switch from 3-yr to accel partway through. Sorry.

2. Accepted to OHSU??

   OntheHorizon replied to OntheHorizon's topic in General Students

   That was me! I didn't actually work for OHSU, but for PDX Doulas. We were based out of OHSU and got to have badge access to L&D and the MBU (mother baby unit AKA postpartum). It was really awesome and I'd love to chat about it. Fitting. I got my...

   OntheHorizon replied to OntheHorizon's topic in General Students

   aspiring.midwife, I can't write personal messages anymore for some reason. I'm sure we met at orientation, but I don't know who you are! :) let's be real friends! Steph

4. What do you use to carry your 500 books around in?

   OntheHorizon replied to bebahloo's topic in General Students

   Does anyone commute by bike? I can't very well take a zillion books, let alone in a bulky rolling backpack, on my bike. In the winter I will be taking the bus, but I will never have my car with me to keep books in the trunk. Ohh life in Portland.

5. Accepted to OHSU??

   OntheHorizon replied to OntheHorizon's topic in General Students

   No I haven't gotten anything else yet and I'm starting to really stress about it! I even emailed the program advisor to find out what's going on. She said they're sending a welcome packet out "soon," and that registration opens May 11. But we newbies...

6. Food during nursing school?

   OntheHorizon replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

   Make extra when you cook dinners such as stir fry, rice'n lentils, pasta.... bring it in a tupperware and microwave it for lunch. That way you know it's healthy because it's not processed, frozen junk. Make sure that there is plenty of protein (chick...

   OntheHorizon posted a topic in General Students

   Hello! I got accepted to OHSU accelerated BSN to CNM program and I'm hoping to get in touch with my cohort before orientation. What are you doing to prepare? Where are you getting your supplies? Any recommendations for good banks (or whatever) for st...

8. Is anyone else addicted to nursing student vlogs on youtube??

   OntheHorizon replied to greeniebean's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks for the video suggestions! It hadn't occurred to me to seek these types of videos out and now I'm excited to watch them all. Cheers!

   OntheHorizon replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon

   I was placed on the wait-list for OHSU's ABM (to midwifery) program and I was so bummed I didn't even want to post here. But a month later (last week) they called me up to offer me a spot that had just opened!!!! I'm so thrilled to be in!!:heartbeat ...

    OntheHorizon replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon

    No way Studentmom2007! If there was a problem with your essay they would have called or sent you something to let you know you were missing part of the application. Don't worry about that part. :) Areawoman, I am in the same boat as you. Since I got ...

12. Homebirth... anyone catching babies at home?

    OntheHorizon replied to fertile_myrtle's topic in CNM

    I am a doula, applying to midwifery school (finger crossed!). Most of the births I attend are in the hospital and I was starting to despair at the attitudes and interventions. But in December I attended my first homebirth and it was so amazing I was ...

15. OHSU and other PDX area applicants for 2009

    OntheHorizon replied to studentmom2007's topic in Oregon

    I'm applying to OHSU ABM program, the OHSU ABS program, and also to Linfield College. I don't plan to send in my application until I've viewed and reviewed it and I feel more sure of everything. As far as I can tell, it doesn't matter when you submit...
