  1. The Interview

    Triplepoint replied to cieethekid's topic in General Students

    At interviews, they are typically looking for a few things. First of all, they want to see that you have poise, know how to dress appropriately for the situation, and that you handle yourself well in...

  2. Wanting to apply to a BSN program but Old grades still haunting me

    Triplepoint replied to CBmountain22's topic in General Students

    I have no idea how amnesty works, so I cannot help you with that. However, If I were you I would focus on moving forward regardless ofyour past transcripts. At a lot of community colleges, only your...

  3. Best stethoscope?

    Triplepoint replied to 1224_NS's topic in General Students

    I bought a fancy cardiology stethoscope and I am actually glad I did. As a student trying to listen to different lung and heart sounds, I'm glad that I have a more sensitive scope because it can be...

  4. ADN program starting now vs my aspirations towards and MD or DO: What do you think I should do?

    Triplepoint replied to MDBoy's topic in General Students

    If you think you can hack the medical school requirements, and are willing to suck it up for the length of time it takes to complete medical training, I say go for it. However, If it is a huge...

  5. Accepted! Now what? (NHTI)

    Triplepoint replied to SamanthaRM's topic in General Students

    I second the time management skills! They are what will truly get you through nursing school. If you are really hankering to do some studying, I would brush up on some A&P of major organ systems...

  6. Should I get accepted to a CRNA program?

    Triplepoint replied to MEDRN89's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I am part of a an aspiring CRNA group on facebook, and I can tell you right now that your nursing GPA will be an issue. IF you at some point managed to get an interview for a program, they would...

  7. For those planning to get or have gotten an ASN..

    Triplepoint replied to Lovelylifestlye's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second term of an ADN program right now, and am planning on going on to a BSN program the next term after I finish my associates degree. My reasoning is that the jobs I am interested in do...

  8. You're in my shoes, what would you do to become an RN?

    Triplepoint replied to wknd's topic in General Students

    Most people who already have a degree do not find the nursing pre-reqs to be that challenging. You went to Berkeley. You'll be fine ? In all seriousness, do well in your pre-reqs, get a little...

  9. Any RN student clinicals cancelled because of COVID-19?

    Triplepoint replied to llg's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No clinical for us for the foreseeable future. All LTC, skilled, and assisted living are on essential staff only on advisory from our health authority. Still have classes

  10. Do I have what it takes to succeed in Nursing?

    Triplepoint replied to Hurricane's topic in General Nursing

    I would add... - Not teachable - Lack of self-perception -Carelessness/Hurried personality type -Defensive when receiving

  11. How many more times....

    Triplepoint replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    If you don't do the required reading for the test, I doubt any nursing program will work for you. Maybe you need to change your study strategy? How much med math homework did you do before your test?...

  12. Debating on PA vs NP

    Triplepoint replied to Simonruba's topic in General Students

    PA's generally seem very happy in their practice, and can work in many different specialties. They also seem to have a very solid medical education, and they can do procedures, if that is something...

  13. Should I take biology or chemistry?

    Triplepoint replied to Brenda Baret's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can, take both. I did and it has helped me tremendously in nursing school. If you can only take one, I would re-take biology and do well because the biology is the foundation of modern medical...

  14. Writing help

    Triplepoint replied to raindrop's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't have an MSN, but I do have an English degree?‍♀️ and I can tell you that even if your writing skills aren't that great right now, they will be soon if you have to write that many papers!...

  15. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    Can any accepted MHCC students tell me where they bought their scrubs from? We are supposed to buy royal blue, but I'm sure all royal blue scrubs aren't the same color.

  16. Was RN school easy for you?

    Triplepoint replied to EV1518's topic in General Students

    I am also curious about this. I would imagine that it wouldn't be too hard for you if you have a strong science/math background, good study skills, know how to write a paper, and have experience...

  17. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    Do you mean you will be starting in winter term in January? Fall term began last week! For those in winter term, they will send out the email that allows you to do all the immunization and background...

  18. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    Do any MHCC acceptees know if a facebook group has been created for either the fall or winter

  19. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    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...

  20. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    Has anyone started their Hep B series yet? I know we are supposed to have it done, but I guess it can take a couple months, and we haven't had our orientation yet

  21. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    Congratulations!!!

  22. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    So exciting! Soon we will know each other well, lol! Usually someone will start a closed Facebook group for the cohort, and people begin communicating that way. What day did you interview? Maybe we...

  23. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    I've been accepted to MHCC's Fall term! I just got my acceptance a few minutes

  24. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    I will be accepting to MHCC if I'm offered a spot. Since they seem to be the last school to give out acceptances, I assume that they will be taking a sizable number of people off the alternate list?...

  25. PCC/OHSU/CCC/MHCC FALL 2019

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

    I think that MHCC is quite a bit behind where they were last year. This year their interviews happened a lot later. They gave the impression at the interview that we probably wouldn't know until...
