  1. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

  3. Applicants to PDX area Nursing Schools 2010

    ORRocksRN replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon Nursing

    While I respect your opinion, I disagree. I believe that all the schools give you essentially the same education, they teach the exact same material, and there is a limit to how much you can do as a...

  10. Nursing intructor abuse- Where can I find help please

    ORRocksRN replied to bleverett's topic in General Students

    I agree with caliotter3. you probably won't win, the lawyer will tell you it is all "subjective" your word against theirs, and they always win. they can say whatever they want about you, whether its...

  11. Nursing intructor abuse- Where can I find help please

  13. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    ORRocksRN replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    Does anyone have input on which RN to BSN programs are good? It seems most of them are online, so it could be done from anywhere. With the crap job market out there, what I thought was the end of my...

  14. New Grad RN-->No Jobs, Then what?

    ORRocksRN replied to lperkrn's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the nursing schools are partially to blame. They are actively recruiting more and more students to train for years for jobs that don't exist. Maybe they should slow down the number of new...
