1. Severe Depression In Career Choice

   PortlandRN2020 replied to SmellTheRose94's topic in Stress 101

   I was trying to login to comment but it didn't take me directly back to this thread, so I searched for "depression" and it came back with 10,000 results on allnurses! I just skimmed the first page but it looked like nurses discussing their own experi...

2. Psychiatry NP or MD/DO?

   PortlandRN2020 replied to ruleighdy's topic in NP Students

   If you can get into an MD/DO program I’d say go for it. From what my friends from college told me, you get about a month for each clinical rotation starting in your third year. I’m not sure if this continues for the entire last two years of medical s...

3. What is something you never thought you'd have to say to a coworker?

   PortlandRN2020 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   I feel attacked ?

4. Roommates

   PortlandRN2020 replied to FutureRN7's topic in General Students

   I tried long distance commuting in my program and ended up needing to rent a room close by for my own sanity. It was a cramped space with no living area and full of students much younger than I but it was walking distance from school. I would go home...

5. New Grad Can't Find Work

   PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Hunt

   No I am at Willamette Valley Medical Center in McMinnville. It's an hour commute for me right now. If you are willing to commute, they have openings right now and will hire new grads.

6. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

   PortlandRN2020 replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral

   Couldn’t agree more.

7. Dropped from cohort

   PortlandRN2020 replied to guest874748's topic in General Students

   That’s insane. If they don’t give you your money back you can always contact a lawyer. I definitely would not roll over and take that.

9. New Grad Can't Find Work

   PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Hunt

   Hi, yes I got a spot in a small ICU on nightshift. The commute and switching to a night schedule is kicking my behind right now but I really like the unit and people so far. I was hoping to get something in a bigger hospital (I struck out with OHSU, ...

10. Small versus Large ICU

    PortlandRN2020 replied to SN2432's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds exactly like my situation. How are you liking it?

11. Losing hope and suicidal

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Marylandburntnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you're feeling like this, I hope you can get in to see a counselor asap! No job is worth your life!

12. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Hunt

    I cannot seem to private message you either and am hesitant to post my contact information online. Do you have a link to the job posting or to the company's website? Thanks for reaching out!

13. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Hunt

    Thanks for the response Firstman989RN and welcome. I believe I've missed the deadline for the Olympia residency unfortunately but I still see some Prov positions in Spokane. Spokane is a bit far east for me, I would rather be in the Olympia area myse...

14. Linfield University vs OHSU

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Geroge's topic in School Programs

    I went to OHSU and interviewed at Linfield so I'm well aware of the difference in cost and the fact that Linfield is private. I'm trying to help you here. Nursing school is not scientifically rigorous and there are other ways to get health care exper...

    It says "Start Dates to be offered for positions will be as early as December 2020. Residency Seminars to begin in early 2021." Here's a link to all their nurse job postings if you're interested. It looks like they have Vancouver, Longview, and ...
