    wanting to become an NP after nursing but it's expensive

    tejon replied to whawk's topic in General Students

    I'm in Oregon and got into Clackamas Community College. They don't have a BSN program per se, but are part of OCNE, which means once I'm done with my RN program (at about $5000 per year), I can...

    tejon replied to Tinker Bell RN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks for the replies from current students - any and all tips are helpful! I have a laptop and it's been a lifesaver for me in finishing up pre-reqs. I have a family and there isn't really a quiet...

    Where could I find examples of surgical tools for a presentation?

    tejon replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I was looking for actual instruments to show in class. Barring that, a list of commonly used tools so I can make up a display of each with a description and

    I don't know - the last set of letters were sent out on the 21st and I got mine the same day, while pretty much everyone else I know got theirs the next day, so it should be pretty soon after they're...

    I just got done with my interview at CCC. I was really nervous, but it wasn't bad at all. The instructors who gave us the group interview were really nice and happy to repeat questions if necessary,...

    Student Nurses over 35 and Second Career????

    tejon replied to LoveFromAbove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    What a great thread! I'm 40 and have been a CNA for four months at a long term care facility (skilled nursing unit). I went back to school a year and a half ago and finally finished all of my pre reqs...

    When studying, when is enough, enough?

    tejon replied to hopingipass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I stop when my brain feels like it's about ready to explode. If I had a few more days until a test but felt pretty well covered, I'd probably review a bit each day to just keep things in my mind but...

    Thanks, everyone! I'm just a bit stunned that I was able to do this. I've never done this well in school before *and* I was hospitalized for 3 days in the middle of the quarter with a small bowel...

    CCC A & P teachers - anyone had Watson or Kop?

    I'm signing up for A & P for the Winter semester, and there are a lot fewer choices since most students start A & P in the Fall. Everyone recommended Espino, but he's not teaching A & P I...

    Not silly at all! I had a really hard time with that, too. Bipolar neurons are simple - they're uncommon and are only found in the special senses, like the retina of the eye, auditory and olfactory...

    CCC A & P teachers - anyone had Watson or Kop?

    tejon replied to tejon's topic in Oregon Nursing
