  1. Chemeketa Nursing Program Alternates

    Spotty44 replied to sarahs123456's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Don't discount yourself too quickly. Some schools end up offering openings to all of their alternates, though the competition in Salem might be different because it's farther from the Portland area....

  4. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Anyone know when MHCC posted their 2007 statistics online? I'll be interested to see what the 2008 statistics were when they finally get around to putting them

  5. Intersted in Nursing , not sure if I could

    Spotty44 replied to michiganwonder's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You never know unless you try. One thing I've learned over the past 11 years is: if you avoid something because you don't *think* you can do it, it's almost always a mistake. That being said, back...

  6. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    Spotty44 replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It's also worth considering that once you're employed as an RN, most, if not all larger employers will pay for you to get your BSN (most likely just part of it, but it depends on many factors). That's...

  7. Cumulative GPA & PRE-req GPA & which program?

    Spotty44 replied to JustJane2008's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Most programs don't look at your previous GPA (I think some accelerated BSNs do and I think that U of P's "AEM UP" does). I had a 2.7 cumulative from my Bachelor's degree in 2001 (proud of the...

  8. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good lord, you sound like me. I was so completely stressed last week, worrying about how this is all going to work out financially. My husband thinks I'm

  9. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I know what you mean, I was literally shaking while I was opening my envelope from MHCC...although I knew I got in based on the thickness of the envelope. Congrats to everyone that was accepted to...

    Awesome!

  11. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Ugh..that's exactly why I have to manage to maintain 24/hrs per week throughout the entire program. I looked at private insurance and it's like $400/month. Oh well, I'll have to make it

  13. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yep! I sent off my acceptance form today! Nice to see some of my future classmates are on here! The only thing that might throw a wrench in my plans is if my employer can't move me down to 24/hrs...

  14. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats! Waitlist isn't bad! Plus, at my interview, they told us that everyone on the waitlist was called last year (I think it was last year). When do you hear from

  16. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I didn't. CCC is the only Portland area nursing school that does not waive WR 121 and 122 for people with prior bachelor's degrees. I have a B.S. degree and did not take writing while in college (my...

  18. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Spotty44 replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I had my MHCC interview this past Tuesday (20th). At our interview, they said that their last set of interviews would be done the next day (21st) and they would begin making their decisions. They...

  19. Mt. Hood CC Interview 2008

    Spotty44 replied to DarkHairedStudentCCC's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Whew! I bet you're relieved that it's over! My interview is next Tuesday. I'm a little nervous about the speaking in front of a group part, but I think I'll do okay...I'm usually pretty confident....

  20. Is it possible to go to nursing school and work full time?

    Spotty44 replied to nursing_88's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think it depends on your ability to handle stress and your time management skills. I most likely will have to work while in school because I won't be able to get enough in loans to cover everything...

    Spotty44 replied to DarkHairedStudentCCC's topic in Oregon Nursing

  22. CCC Application Question

    Spotty44 replied to Spotty44's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah, I ended up calling them too and was a bit surprised. They wouldn't even let me substitute my school's writing portfolio, which has a "pass with distinction" indicated on my transcript. I...

  23. CCC Application Question

    Spotty44 posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Okay, so I was going over the application for the Clackamas Community College nursing program and somewhere I missed something. I went to one of their info sessions about a year ago but don't...

  24. Will it be harder for me to get in?

    Spotty44 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi All! I'm currently taking my prerequisites for nursing school. I was originally a nursing major way back when I started college in 1997 @ age 18. Problem was that I wasn't even really prepared...

  25. "As long as we all get a 'C'..." HMMM?!?!?

    Spotty44 replied to NSFA08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A "C" is usually the standard pass grade for any degree (though degrees more specific to the particular class may require a higher grade). I remember saying that when I was taking History in college....
