I just found out I have been accepted for the Fall 2010 class. If you have attended this program, I would love to hear of your experiences. Also any tips you have would be wonderful. Thanks

Yes I did have all my pre req's before I applied. You have to have a minimum GPA of 2.0 to get in. Checkout there nursing homepage it will explain everything. Good luck!!
I just saw a new article that OHSU is hiring again, here in Portland, OR. I also know Providence is as well. With your experience, I dont think you will have a hard time, finding something!! Good Luck!!

Kaplans Book had a lot of NCLEX test taking Strategies that I felt were VERY helpful. It teaches you how to break the question down and how to look at what is it really asking you. I would advise you check it out. You dont need to take the course to ...
