Well my letter from OHSU finally came. I have been put on the alternate list. I guess that is better than getting a rejection letter but I have no idea what my chances of being moved up to being accepted are. I am just wondering if there are any o...

One more thought... I remember that when I was being discharged from the hospital the nurse was telling me that there are varying cases of viral meningitis. She mentioned that many people don't suffer pain at the level of needing to be hospitalized....

I had meningitis a couple of years ago. While I was not a nurse then, I still had a gut feeling that something was not right. I do not normally get headaches so I seem to have a low tolerance level for head pain. My case of meningitis started out ...

Hi fellow Chemeketa nursing school students, Well I hate to shatter any hopes but I am one of the three or so people who are yet to register, but that is because I am not allowed to until I get all of my immunization information turned in. I was alt...

Yippee!!! I finally got "the call". For what it's worth, the person I spoke with today at the nursing program office mentioned that she would be sending "letters" out tomorrow. So there must have been multiple spots that became available. (Probably...

Alternate #2 here... I still haven't received THE phone call.

I haven't heard anything yet. (I am alternate #2) I am a bit suprised. I had thought that I would have had a good chance at being called by now.

How close to the start of classes did you get "the call" that there was space for you?

I had heard the same info about how many alternates got in from last year. The big difference may be that last year they got to add more students to the overall number of accepted students because they added one more instructor. I don't know if the...

Wow! That is so cool for you! You must be so very excited.

Now that I think about it I remember another poster who was #17 on the alternate list also had a score of 310. Fortunately for that person, they had also applied to Linfield and got accepted. It would be hard to wait another year but at least you ...

Do you mind if I ask what your score was? Aside from being an alternate last year, which gave a 5 pt. bonus, 310 was the highest a score could be. Please feel no pressure to respond but I am just curious how far in to the alternate list an almost ...

I think that it probably varies from year to year. Just depends on how many people decide on other schools or have life situations that keep them from attending. I was in the Chemeketa Nursing office this last week to make sure that they had my cor...

What is the monetary difference? I thought that the tuition for Linfield and OHSU were pretty comperable. Maybe I am thinking of out-dated info.

I am just curious how you got to the figure of 1500 nursing students that will be graduating? That seems like it may be too high of a number. OHSU, Linfield, UofP, PCC, Clackamas CC, Mt. Hood CC - Am I missing anyone? Do all of those schools actu...

Hi and welcome! Congrats on the "Triple Crown" of nursing acceptances. That is no small accomplishment. As far as Linfield vs. OHSU I have a couple of thoughts. First of all if you haven't already done so, try doing some searches on allnurses re...

Thanks for the heads up about September 18th. I agree that my chances seem pretty good considering that so many people have sent out multiple applications. Two more questions though: What are the uniform requirements? If you have some time would y...

So the curiousity is killing me... What kind of info did the acceptance letters have? Any books lists, supply lists, orientation info, etc. Hopefully I will be getting the "acceptance" letter or phone call soon, but until then I would love to know w...

AAAGH! I made the #2 alternate spot! With a 310 score. Can you believe that?! I am thinking my chances are pretty good though that atleast two people will not be able to attend. This must have meant that after the 315'ers (alternates from last ye...

I am sorry to hear that the excitement of your first pay check had to be dampered by such a big financial error. However, Congrats on making it to this point that you are an actual employed nurse who is arguing over her pay check.

What OHSU program did you get accepted to? Portland or Monmouth?

(Sorry I don't know how to do the whole quote-the-previous-post thing but this is in response to JustJane2008's mention to wanting to stay in the Portland area) JustJane2008 - In case you didn't know, Linfield's nursing program is in Portland and not...

There are several discussions pertaining to Pioneer Pacific on the Oregon Forum. Try searching "Pioneer Pacific" and see what you get. I personally don't have any experience with them.

I actually know this family through a friend of mine that is close to them. Medical science is amazing. However, this family would be the first to tell you that their strong faith in the Lord is what got them through such a difficult pregnancy. Ma...

Just Graduated... Wow, what an awesome accomplishment you have made! Congratulations! Where are you planning on working at? Have you been happy with your OHSU nursing school experience? Yes, I have tried to squeeze out some info from OHSU. When I ...
