  1. Severe Depression In Career Choice

    PortlandRN2020 replied to SmellTheRose94's topic in Health, Stress Management

    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...

  2. Psychiatry NP or MD/DO?

    PortlandRN2020 replied to ruleighdy's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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...

  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...

  5. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I recently graduated from OHSU and am struggling to find any kind of position in Portland. Previous cohorts left me with the impression that most students would have job offers before graduation. So...

  6. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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

  7. Is there a CLINICAL DNP?

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PG2018's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Couldn’t agree

  8. 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

  10. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

  11. Small versus Large ICU

    PortlandRN2020 replied to SN2432'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

  13. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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

  14. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

  15. Linfield University vs OHSU

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Geroge's topic in School, College 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...

  16. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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....

  17. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm going to start putting in apps for SNFs and dialysis centers this week and maybe continue applying for hospital positions as they open and just see what happens. It seems that the majority of...

  18. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Apparently, PeaceHealth doesn't allow you to save your application and complete it later. The recruiter from Eugene/Springfield emailed me to ask me to finish the application but when I emailed the...

  19. Linfield University vs OHSU

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Geroge's topic in School, College Programs

    The nursing school isn't connected in any way to the PA or MD programs. I think both Linfield and OHSU are probably similar but Linfield is much more expensive and I believe has a significantly higher...

  20. OHSU BSN, Fall 2021

    PortlandRN2020 replied to chaos_lover's topic in School, College Programs

    Apply to Portland! It's the best

  21. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Yes I feel the same. Sorry you're in the waiting loop. How many Providence locations did you apply to? I don't know how long it takes to get an Oregon license by endorsement but I would guess 3-6...

  22. New Grad Can't Find Work

    PortlandRN2020 replied to PortlandRN2020's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hey, thanks for sharing. How big is your cohort? That's slightly alarming to hear but hopefully things will start moving down there soon. What part of California are you in? I know another OHSU campus...

  23. ED job at Kaiser Permanente Portland, OR

    PortlandRN2020 replied to kelsonsa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Hi Sarah, Does Kaiser have a new grad residency program in Portland? I've checked the websites numerous times but I haven't seen any indication that they hire new grads. I would like to work in...

  24. How do you study for NCLEX when you’re broke??

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Nsco2018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My program made us buy Kaplan and do Qbank and practice tests in it. It was OK. I did a 7-day free trial with UWorld and the rationales are much more informative and probably set you up better for...

  25. Any ex Premeds?

    PortlandRN2020 replied to Premed2hard's topic in General Students

    Hey I am in that boat. I am currently in an ABSN program. I would caution you against jumping into an ABSN program if your heart is set on being a doctor. Maybe you should should shadow some RNs first...
