   Take the 2 unit library class for the same extra point! It is seriously helpful for all the papers you write in the first year.

   A bit late, but I had 47/54 at CCC and 53/58 at PCC.

3. Needs Encouragement

   danya replied to KizzieKae's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah you've got this! One thing to keep in mind is that Texas has some of the best odds for getting into a program- some of them as high as 80% acceptance rates if I remember correctly. The folks talking about 3.9 GPAs are generally applying to the w...

4. Clackamas community college points?

   danya replied to Mary Cleveland's topic in School Programs

   I think I had 47 and was accepted last year. Did the interview go horribly or something? I know I did the best in my group, there were students who were like, reading off of papers for their answers instead of engaging in a conversation. They didn't ...

5. How to prepare for first term of ADN?

   danya replied to danya's topic in General Students

   Thanks for all the advice everyone! I ended up taking some literature classes to round out my gen ED requirements, and then I'll have 8 weeks off where I'll try not to spend too much time stressing about classes.

   I heard from them May 18 as well. Just got the acceptance from PCC this morning now too. Anyone have any insight into how to choose between the programs?

   Yes it was. Hopefully you hear from them next week!

9. PCC/MHCC/OHSU Fall 2020

   danya replied to Whitney5135's topic in School Programs

   I had a look at my PCC communications, and it seems they send out pertinent emails between 8-9 am and 4-5 pm. I've still got my fingers crossed they send acceptances out by the end of the hour today, although I already replied accepting a spot at Cla...

10. Phlebotomy Certificate during Nursing School worth it?

    danya replied to marii1017's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've been in SEIU as a phlebotomist no matter the state or clinic so far, fyi. That pay rate was pre-Fight for 15.

11. How to prepare for first term of ADN?

    danya posted a topic in General Students

    Hello all- I've been accepted to a nursing program at my local community college, and I was wondering what those of you who've already been through it would recommend to prepare. What sort of gaps did you encounter between prerequisites and beginning...

12. Phlebotomy Certificate during Nursing School worth it?

    danya replied to marii1017's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Licensed in CA, last job in OR at Kaiser. First job was at $12/hr in nonprofit, to be fair (I believe CNAs were making $8-$10 at the time). Moving on to RN now because Kaiser has the highest pay in the business and I'm too young to be maxed out on li...

13. Phlebotomy Certificate during Nursing School worth it?

    danya replied to marii1017's topic in Pre-Nursing

    6 years of phlebotomy here, it's how I got interested in nursing. I found that I was getting paid 50-75% more than CNAs as a phlebotomist generally throughout my career. If the same holds true for your area, the higher paying job will serve you bette...

14. Easiest way to get in

    danya replied to alyssaaw94's topic in School Programs

    Earlier in the process I looked up schools with the highest acceptance rate- Ohio and Texas each had like 3 school in the 80% range. Much easier to get in if you're willing to move, and the NCLEX is the same wherever you go.

    I actually did prereqs at PCC, it seems silly but I almost want to go there just so I'd have one less transcript if I decide to apply to grad programs in the future. Good luck to you as well!
