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

    OregonBSN replied to JustJane2008's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Don't count Linfield out since it is a private college. I really love the program and the school. On average, statistics show an ADN would have been in school for 6 years by the time they are able to...

  2. Ohsu Ocne

    OregonBSN replied to risible's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The proctored essay was the same question as the non-proctored essay from previous years... Same old "why do you want to be a nurse and what experiences..." type stuff. Nothing too

  3. Newbie- CNA to Nurse path?

    OregonBSN replied to oregonbeach's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If my understanding is that your son wants to be a Registered Nurse (RN) the only option is a formal education as through a college or university. If a he is interested in an LPN (a licensed practical...

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

    OregonBSN replied to JustJane2008's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm in the program now. A few of our cohort do work out of necessity but many are cutting hours way back. Honestly I don't see how they are able to work. Schedules during summer are very condensed and...

  5. Micro @ Clackamas CC

    OregonBSN replied to amberp83's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I took Math 95 the summer of 2007. Just do the home work and you'll be fine. Online isn't bad, it just requires you manage yourself diligently. Which programs are you applying

  6. Micro @ Clackamas CC

  7. OHSU or Linfield

    OregonBSN replied to lilikoi's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Cool a fellow Wildcat, congrats! You begin in Fall

  8. OHSU or Linfield

    OregonBSN replied to lilikoi's topic in Oregon Nursing

    when looking at linfield i heard the same assumption, which made me worry i would not get critical care experience. so i asked a recent linfield grad and he said: "i'm not sure where the community...

  9. Clackamas Program 2008: Points & GPA

    OregonBSN posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    just like everyone else, i am curious on the competition for this year's applicant pool! so if you are an applicant and so inclined to share please list: prerequisite application gpa & points as...

  10. CNA or MA for points?

    OregonBSN replied to SunnySunshine's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think the two are fairly evenly weighted, with a CNA giving you more of an edge. Both are opportunities for direct patient care, but a CNA is closer to your final goal. Clackamas will give you extra...

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

    OregonBSN replied to JustJane2008's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I was definitely not an honor student my first go in college. So schools that looked only at prerequisite course GPA were a plus for me. My prerequisite GPA is 3.91. I applied to 4 schools in the...

  14. Clackamas Program 2008: Points & GPA

    OregonBSN replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm guessing you haven't applied to any schools yet.... If you download an application packet for an OCNE participating school, you can see how to calculate your points. The point system is how the...

  15. Clackamas Program 2008: Points & GPA

    OregonBSN replied to OregonBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good luck to you too DHBCNA! I got into Clackamas as well but will be declining my offer. You'll need to change your handle Nursing Student -something now! I think my cohort has 3 guys including...

  16. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    OregonBSN replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The newer Macs run windows too. I know Clackamas is pretty windoze centric which is sad. To run windows on your mac you need an intel mac, Fusion and a copy of windows. The Apple stores can hep...

  17. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    OregonBSN replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah I got an acceptance letter today as well! But as you can probably tell I'll be declining my offer. It made for a less stressful letter opening ceremony. No break for me though, I start school in...

  20. Changing careers but discouraged by a failed student

    OregonBSN replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    One recent grad gave me the advice "Stay away from negative people in your cohort". I think your brother's girlfriend qualifies. Her attitude is probably driven by the fact that she couldn't cut...

  21. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    OregonBSN replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think you are only required to give 2 weeks notice. If you have concerns about keeping your job or how your employer will react I would keep quiet until just before school. I gave my employer 4...

  24. Linfield Accelerated prgram worth the tuition?

    OregonBSN replied to 2xtrouble's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey ! 38 isn't that old - I'm 36! My wife and I really weighed the costs before I decided to go to Linfield. It is a private college, so obviously tuition will always be more than a community college....

    OregonBSN replied to biltz's topic in Men in Nursing

    I have a first generation iPhone and an iMac at home for writing papers. I don't care to lug my old PowerBook around at the moment. Epocrates (demo) is due out for the iPhone this June or so — so it...
