Hello. My hubby and I are hoping to relocate to Durham hopefully next year. I have taken A&P I, II, and III. Does anyone know if there is a time limit on these for Durham Tech? Since we were planning on relocating I haven't applied anywhere aroun...

I wanted to start a thread for those who are starting to apply to the local Portland nursing schools for 2009. Maybe state what school(s) you will be applying to and where you are in your process. I'm applying at OHSU OCNE and PCC. No need to state G...

Thanks! So far the relocation is going slow. My husband has interviewed at a couple of places but had not gotten an offer yet. He's still looking and applying, but at this point we really don't know when we'll be moving. So, I still feel at a stand s...

I applied to the standard OCNE program at OHSU this year. My friend found out she got into the ABSN program a month earlier than their website states. I emailed them and they said letters for the OCNE program will go out late April, early May. Anyone...

deasiac, was this an automated email or a response to one you sent them? I did not get an email from them today. I am wondering if anyone has seen a decision notice in their online application summary? I know it says "decision data not final until a...

I took Micro there in winter 2006 and LOVED my instructor, but she left for a university position somewhere on the East coast before fall term that year. I may get differing opinions on this one, but I preferred my A&P 2 and 3 instructor over my ...

I didn't get in this time. That lottery thing kind of stinks. Was it your first time applying? It was for me.

Congrats twinkletoes and paprika!!!

I just saw the posting of lottery numbers on PCC's website. Mine was not chosen. Oh well, that's okay. DH got an interview at Duke for a job he applied for several weeks ago. He'll be going early April for his interview. Hopefully he'll get the job...

WOW....there's goes my chance! Oh well. We'll see what happens. How did you find that out?

I got my lottery number from PCC on Saturday. Anyone else get theirs or still waiting? We'll see what happens, just wait for the luck of the draw I guess!

Hi there! Right now I am still just pre-nursing but I know I want to do L&D once I get through. I would LOVE to do CNM but right now my family life wouldn't mesh well with that career....2 kids under age 3. I really have a passion and interest f...

I saw on OHSU's FAQ page that letters are mailed out on June 1 for the OCNE applicants. I would LOVE for it to be earlier, I hope I'm wrong about the June date!

WHAT??? I took my reading test in the fall, so I'm sure I had plenty of time, but why would the test date matter as long as you got all the required documents into the HA office by the deadline?

I've applied to OHSU OCNE as well. I can't believe how long we have to wait. We will be out of town when the letters are mailed. My husband has his 8 week Sabbatical and we will be traveling all of May and June. You can bet I'll be calling my neighbo...

WOW! That was fast! Congrats!! That's so exciting!

Hi there. My hubby is applying for a position at Duke (as a professor) to hopefully start this fall. I was just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for where to live in the Durham area? We have 2 small kids (ages 2 and 4) so we want an area w...

Wow! Congrats on the baby! How exciting. Do you know boy or girl? We didn't find out with either of ours and it was so much fun! So, I would HIGHLY recommend NOT doing the ABM with a newborn! I was pregnant with my 2nd son during my pre-reqs of A&...

A hiring freeze is when all hiring is halted, stopped, frozen, in other words NOBODY is getting hired. Typically this happens during slow economic times.

My sister in law got her CRNA through a similar type of program at Moses Cone Hospital, and her tuition was mostly paid for through the program. If she left the hospital before her contract was up, she would have to pay them back. It's worked really ...

Good luck! I applied to PCC this year so I am waiting on the "late April" lottery drawing. Why don't they give an exact date yet? They say numbers will be sent to the applicants 2-3 weeks before the drawing. Ugh...I also applied to OHSU and their FAQ...

Thanks, WantAccel! My mom has also been warning me about living right in Durham and said pretty much all the schools are bad. I'm sure Chapel Hill is much more pricey in cost of living, but I guess it would be worth it to be in a good area. We do hav...

Yeah, it's kind of tough. With all the schools in the area with new grads each term, it's hard to find something. I have a friend that just moved back to PDX and she had a hard time finding a job, even with 1+ year experience as an RN.

I have a question about your previous degree and acceptance into Frontier. You don't need to be specific, but were your grades from your previous degree competive? I ask because I am applying to both ADN and BSN programs. If I get accepted to an ADN ...

Yeah, I don't know anything about the Art schools in the area. They are usually really small. As far as the tuition at OHSU, the graduate program is $470 per credit hour. So, it you were taking 12 hours in one term, that would be about $5600 for tha...
