Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) Fall 2024/Winter 2025

Published

I thought about waiting until I have all of my prerequisites completed to apply for the following year's cohort, but I've been trying to go to nursing school since 2019 and got totally derailed by COVID. I'm getting a little antsy, so I decided to apply this year. I have the minimum required for applying. I figure worst case scenario, I don't get in this year and have a break to save money and apply again next year. Best case scenario, I get in. Seems win/win to me! Who else has applied, or is planning on applying? 

I received an invitation also, yay!

Hi! I also got an acceptance into phase two from MHCC, I am sooo excited! How are you guys preparing for the essay? The email says we'll be given a pencil and paper but then it must be completed on Word?

Does anyone have more than 1 page for the agreement? It says each submission should be a separate attachment and worth 1 point each but I'm only seeing 1 page.

I was wondering the same thing I only got one page so I think we are good.

I never set up a my saints email because I never registered for classes at MHCC. Is that the email that we use to download the agreement?

They sent out another email so you can download it that doesn't require you to have your student email. If you didn't get that link email the health science department.

Congratulations! I'm not sure how they are doing the essay.

I only have the email that requires student email to download. I've contacted limited registration admissions.

The essay portion will be pencil and paper and not on word doc.

How are you guys feeling? I'm assuming we won't hear anything until the last week of May. I was a tad bit shocked when we only got one page for the essay rather than two. Definitely not feeling very confident with my essay. I was calculating my points and I should have about 50 points so I'm hoping that is my saving grace.

That threw me off too! I wrote so small and also I'm hoping my essay wasn't too cheesy. I have MHCC students at my work right now and I am tempted to ask the instructor if she has heard anything. LOL.

I WROTE SO SMALL TOO LOL. I ended up completely changing what I wanted to originally write about last minute which definitely screwed me over I think. I should've trusted my gut. I just keep reminding myself I did my best and if that wasn't enough I will try again next year. My former NQS just visited our clinic and I was talking to her about where I'm at in the process and she said that she has MHCC students at her vent unit RN and I was like...... Can you be nosey for me please and find out all you can haha.
