I love it so far! I just finished my second week on the floor and everyone has been amazing. How about everyone else??

I did have a second interview, I believe it was 6/26.

I received an offer for NTCU last week! I do know of offers for Peds, but other than that I know nothing about other units. Good luck to those still waiting!!

No, both background checks came back the same. My expungement did not even show. They came back clear, no findings. Now as for the background check for the hospital, I do not know since the one we took for school covered the hospital as well. Honestl...

I am in Oregon but here is a bit of my experience. I started off calling the school I was going to go to. They did one background check which covered us for all facilities. You could try calling to clarify if the background check for the school cover...

I got my rejection email. Knew it was coming but still a bit sad to see it. At least I still have my LPN job which I may be able to take the RN position as soon as the new hire is trained. Congratulations to any who made it!

Waiting here as well...

I haven't heard a peep. I sure hope they let us know soon! I know you have to set up accomodations and a flight, so I can imagine you will need some notice. Let us know if you hear anything!

I think it was incredibly busy for them! So many people in such a small amount of time. I too thought mine went well, but I am not getting my hopes too high at this point. I was at table 3 and my lady was incredibly nice. Having to fly all the wa...

Ha! I was not paying attention yesterday! No, I interview tomorrow the 6th. I am interviewing for NICU.

I am! I'm nervous! Are all positions interviewing tomorrow? I'm coming from Salem and ALWAYS get lost in Portland so I'm giving myself plenty of time. Good luck!

I lurk here, don't think I have really posted much! I just wanted to give some positive news to those that need/want it. I was convicted of criminal mistreatment I in 2005 for having a dirty house. After completing probation and everything else neede...

willi4- I bought the main fundamentals book, only because I knew they would be using the same one. I read it while I was waiting to get in, but I don't feel like it helped me at all. Also, at orientation a book that was previously on the required l...

I just wanted to say congrats to everyone! I am a first year at Chemeketa and just finished my final today! And I passed! I can give you guys my experience being an alternate. In 2008 I started as alternate #11. Towards mid August I got a letter info...

So here is my $0.02. I had my son at 19 and started school at 22. I qualified for all financial aid because my son made me an independent student. I have never had to include my parent info, even when I lived with them, because of being a parent mys...

I am kinda in the same position, I think the answer is yes. You still have to tell them about it, BEFORE they find it. Even when your charge has been expunged, the BON will still see it. On your application, I think you need to still mark yes to b...

http://www.free-ed.net/sweethaven/MedTech/MedTerm/default.asp It has a whole course to study, but you can just go to the quizzes. Not really printable, but handy either way. http://msjensen.cehd.umn.edu/1135/med_term_activites/prefixes_list.html A...

High school was 3.6. My overall GPA right now is 3.89 and my GPA for NS (ADN) is 4.0. We are picked by a points system so I believe everyone had at least 3.8.

Judging by your name are you from Oregon? I just graduated from Chemeketa in June with my AAOT and am attending the nursing program this Fall. I am unsure how other schools work, but I had to change my major, and fill out a Max Credit Appeal in ord...

Hey everyone. I have been around here lurking for a while and I just have something I really need to get off my chest. The last few years I have been so focused on school, work, and my son that all my real life 'friends' have drifted away. I guess...

Same here it was horrible! I got mine on a Wednesday. By Thursday morning I could not move my arm. I called the Dr. Friday and she said it's normal, blah blah blah. By Monday I still could barely move it, called again and got the same response. ...

I'm not an alternate this year, but I was in 2008. I originally started as 11. By September I had been moved down to number 5. At that point I had to rush and get CPR and everything done to prepare in case others dropped. The first five alternate...

Same here! First two terms I used grants alone and found myself working way too much, trying to pay for school and normal bills. I am a single mom so I really didn't want to be at school full time and work full time. I ended up doing work-study, w...

I was in the opposite position two years ago. All of my friends and the people I knew from A&P and Micro got in, but I did not. I am graduating Saturday with my AAOT and they are graduating from the Nursing program. I am so very happy for them...

This was my thrid time applying at Chemeketa in Salem, OR and I finally got in! I am super excited, still a little in shock though...
