   luclmarie posted a topic in Operating Room

   I am a nursing student and I'm very interested in OR nursing. I just finished my senior practicum in the OR and I love the job. I had no problems at the beginning of the term, but for the last several weeks I have had increasingly itchy, bumpy red,...

   I just checked OHSU's site - they're having an information session and tour on May 21. http://www.ohsu.edu/xd/education/schools/school-of-nursing/admissions/visiting-campus/information-sessions.cfm

   I just got my OHSU acceptance too! The problem is - I've already sent my deposit in to Walla Walla, already told my job that I'd be switching to part-time next month (Walla Walla starts in the summer), and already mentally felt set on going there. ...

   luclmarie replied to luclmarie's topic in Oregon

   I didn't know about Walla Walla until I started researching nursing schools. I wonder if the fact that it is so unknown is actually going to be detrimental to me finding a job after school, especially if I leave the state. At Walla Walla, they said...

   I'm sorry I don't know much about UP myself. I'd like to hear from some UP students too. I said before that I really had my heart set on Linfield and yes, there have been some great endorsements. Thank you all for your advice. After visiting Walla...

   luclmarie replied to GVTA's topic in Oregon

   Welcome to Portland! Downtown near the school is a super nice area, but it's very expensive. I live out in SE near 205. It's alot cheaper out there and it's a pretty quick commute by highway. I've found every apartment I've had here in Portland o...

   Thanks, OregonBSN. Your comments help alot. I'm currently a CNA and I work with a nurse who is a recent Linfield graduate. She pretty much confirmed everything you said. She did get sent to many different clinical sites, some far away, but she l...

   Apdxstudent, congratulations on getting into Linfield too. The student that was supposed to do the tour couldn't make it, so Mindy from the admissions office gave the tour herself. This was somewhat unfortunate because I didn't get a real student's...

   Hi SD22. Yep, I'm pretty sure I'm going to Linfield too, so I'll see you there. I'm actually just leaving for there right now. I'm taking a tour just to see the place and make sure I like it.

    Thanks fuzzybuddyRN. Everything I hear about Linfield is great. I think I'm set on going there. I've already dropped the extra classes I would have needed for Walla Walla and UP :)

    luclmarie replied to luclmarie's topic in Oregon

    Thanks so much, OregonBSN. That's definitely a good endorsement. Even though Walla Walla is steps from my house and would be very convenient, I'm leaning towards Linfield because of their great reputation and they gave me a scholarship! I couldn't...

    luclmarie replied to luclmarie's topic in Oregon

    Yes, I just heard today. I got the package in the mail about an hour ago. I have a friend that got her accetance a few days ago. I was worried that I hadn't heard yet, but then it was there in the mail today. Seems like they're not sending them al...

    Last year, I applied to OHSU's accelerated program and did not get in. This year, I decided to be safe and apply to every program in the area. Also this past year, I finished my prerequisites and got some experience as a CNA. Well, that's just wha...
