5. So Confused! Programs hard to get into

   tofutti replied to Rtkam's topic in Oregon Nursing

   OHSU also offers an accelerated BSN. The odds of getting into PCC are slim. Personally, I'm afraid of the implications of the word "accelerated" for my health and happiness. But many do

9. UP Providence Scholarship

   tofutti replied to KrisPDX's topic in Oregon Nursing
