Published

Hi this is a general thread for this years nursing applications for the schools above in Portland,OR and surrounding areas for the FALL 2019/ WINTER 2020 Cohorts.

Post all your applications processes, questions, tips and tricks and good luck!

Do we have to get a new hep B series if we have already had the full series?

Thanks for the info. It's interesting that they don't tell us this when we are accepted to the program. I know that it's possible to be immune after two injections, and then not need the third. I'll be getting my first shot today, and hopefully I'll only need one more.

I completely agree. If it is so important to have all three shots why aren't we told earlier? Like on our application packets or something?

In my case I have to redo the series because my titer came back negative. It's rare but it does happen (my doctor said he had to redo it too). So, if your body has those antibodies, then no, you don't need to.

What happens after I am accepted into the program?

Upon notification of acceptance, students must indicate via email by the stated deadline (in the acceptance email) their intention to enroll or their position will be given to the next eligible alternate. If applying to multiple schools, students are asked not to notify more than one school to acceptance of an admission offer and to immediately notify the MHCC Nursing program office if for any reason their acceptance decision changes or if their phone number, email, or mailing address changes.

Mandatory Orientation – A mandatory orientation will be held during the summer for admitted and alternate students. Attendance is required, or the next eligible alternate will be given your assigned place in the program.

Proof of Immunizations – Accepted and alternate students must submit proof of the following immunizations by the stated deadline or their space will be given to the next eligible alternate. You must provide evidence of:

Immunity to measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chicken pox)

Current Tuberculin Skin Test or a chest x-ray

Tetorifice-Diptheria-PertussisToxiod within the last 10 years

Hepatitis B — The series must be started when invited for an interview and must be completed before starting the program.

Current CPR Card — Each accepted and alternate student must provide a current Health Care Provider Level CPR card approved by the American Heart Association.

Criminal Background Check: If accepted into the Nursing program, your acceptance will be provisional until you pass a national criminal background check which is conducted through a national standardized tracking system the nursing program has a contract with. Information for accessing the system will be available to students once they have been accepted into the nursing program. (Please note: The accepted applicant pays for the background check, and the background check process requires a social security number.)

All admitted students are required to complete a Drug Screen prior to starting the nursing courses. Please note, this drug screening may also check for prescription drugs that contain amphetamines, barbiturates, opioids, benzodiazepines and marijuana. If you are taking any prescribed medication that may contain these drugs you will need to meet with the program director before completing the drug screen.

Accepted nursing students must complete all prerequisite credit hours by the date listed in the acceptance letter or they will forfeit their acceptance.

Clinical Rotation: Clinical arrangements will be assigned by the Dean of Nursing and may not be finalized until the week prior to starting the term. Attempts will be made to accommodate a student’s schedule under extenuating circumstances; however, no guaranty can be made around day, time, location etc.... Students with specific accommodation needs will need to notify program faculty and Dean after being accepted into the program to specify circumstances and to identify what accommodations are being requested. Please note while every effort will be made to accommodate to specific needs, a guaranty of time, day, and/or location cannot be made and students are asked to be flexible in their assignment. Clinical assignments may be scheduled for the day, evening or night shift, and may also be scheduled for any day of the week, including weekends.

I got a call from pcc around 10 am today that I have been accepted. I was also accepted to ccc and went to the orientation last week. I declined my MHCC alternate spot. I was so happy to hear that I got into pcc, but now I'm a bit confused to which school to go..

Thank you! CCC is closer to me, but I took all my classes at pcc. Maybe we can talk more in person. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

Congrats! Just don't be like me and pay your deposit, but forget to sign the Google form. They informed me that I'd lost my PCC spot, then double checked and gave me an extra couple of days to send it in to retain it. Really hoping they didnt give my slot to someone already, that would make me real sad
