    Portland campus right? CONGRATS! You are in my cohort. I'll see you around come

  2. PCC/MHCC/OHSU Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to Whitney5135's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey everybody, I found out I got into PCC nursing program a few days back, but I declined my spot b/c I'm going to OHSU instead. I hope one of you will get my spot! Just wanted to give some hope to...

  3. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    I got my start working in a hospital as a housekeeper, then I moved onto being a patient transporter and then a CNA. I always worked around nurses and saw what they did, but it never occurred to me...

    PS: official acceptance/decline email is not sent yet, so dont expect any calls for a few

  5. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    I got accepted (after 3 yrs of trying). I got about one yr of CNA 2 exp, BUT I got over a 1000 hrs worked (lots of overtime). Some other stats: I got a 4.0 pre-req, took college Chemistry, over a...

  6. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, great job on making it this far. This is purely an educated speculation, but I heard about 450-500 applied this yr, and they most likely trimmed that down to top 80-100 for the interview. Only...

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey, CONGRATS! I got in as well! I'll see you at the orientation. Good luck to everyone else. It's been a long 4 yrs since I started

    You too, hopefully all of us will make

  10. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    I was the person that mentioned the likeliness. I know for a fact that 2 yrs ago when I first applied to OHSU Portland, they were letting alt listers know approximately where they were. Now I don't...

  11. PCC/MHCC/OHSU Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to Whitney5135's topic in School, College Programs

    I know right? I don't know how they expect us to improve if they won't tell us what we got wrong! For years, PCC wouldn't even tell you if you were high up on the alt list or at the bottom... you are...

  12. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    2 yrs ago when I first applied, that was about the range of phase 2 students as well. I think they only accepted 32 students that year (maybe 40)? Either way, it is disheartening that even in the...

    CuddlyElephant replied to Whitney5135's topic in School, College Programs

    Any PCC applicants here who took the online test? What are your feelings on it? I just took mine and really wished I had more time. Best of luck

  14. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey Basic .93, I read your posts and seems like you've applied and got to phase 2 to all the schools I applied to! Your stats look great (I'm always jealous of applicants with veteran cred). Lets...

  15. Oregon Health & Science University School of Nursing (OHSU) Fall 2020

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    It boggles my mind how someone with your stats couldn't make it past phase 1. This Is my 3rd yr attempt at nursing school (2nd at OHSU), so don't lose hope! Get more direct patient care exp as a...

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    You are waiting on Portland decision too? Best of luck, fellow cohort person! My most realistic guess is next Monday (27th). I highly doubt they read all the essays and finalized their decisions in...

    CuddlyElephant replied to mmrz99's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi everybody. 2nd time Portland Campus applicant here. It sounds like other campuses are actually doing interviews instead of typed essays? What are your thoughts on the possibility of us getting...

  18. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for the reply! Oof, I'm 59. That's so rough... Thanks, I'm definitely trying next yr, and I'm getting more CNA hours still. Best of luck with your

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Do you mind sharing what score you had for PCC? I didn't get in, but I wanted to know how many pts I needed to get invited this

  20. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Wow, congrats! It does suck to know that i was only about 4 pts off of an invite, but such is life. This year was especially cutthroat. Also, the pessimist in me thinks that the days of 48/70...

  21. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Is anyone willing to share what score they applied with for the PCC 2019? Just curious what is considered competitive now... I got 59/70 and rejected on phase

  22. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Hey I recognize you from last year's forum! I too am in the same boat as you. Made it to phase 2 last yr and got alternate, but outright rejected this year. Where did all these hyper-competitive...

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Thank you all for the advice. I will look for alternative, cheaper CNA programs in the area. I dont think EMT is for me though, too much

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    PCC in the fall qtr! Gonna try for PCC and OHSU again next yr. I am a bit sad for having to pay 2k bucks just to have a better shot at nirsing

  25. PCC/MHCC/CCC Portland Fall 2018

    CuddlyElephant replied to HeatherB90's topic in School, College Programs

    Thanks for your words of encouragement. I'm not getting my hopes up (and going to a CNA class orientation tomorrow), but it is nice to know it is not 100% over. Let's pray to our deity of choice for...
