I have an interview coming up in a week and am looking for any info about what to expect. This will be my first "medical field" interview. I don't have any hospital background other than some clinical experience from nursing school. I've been an EMT...
TeeRN2Be, thank you for your quick response. You have pointed out several great pointers. The one thing I don't want to do is to "sit at a desk". I'd love to be up and around learning and helping out whenever needed but still making sure my work g...

I was lucky to get in the program this year (and accepted of course) and keep praying for all of the alternates to get in. An acquaintance of mine was in the middle of the alternates two years ago and got in because they were able to hire another ins...
In reading a lot of the forums, I really haven't found one pertaining to those of us applying to Chemeketa Community College. Are you out there? Tell us how your experience is going? Any letters yet?

All of the above. It has dates listed with requirements such as immunizations, CPR, etc. Include is a huge book list (10 required and 3 optional for NUR106), uniform requirements, etc. Just a date to keep in mind is Sept 18 which is the all-day or...

I had 310 and made it through the first two tie breakers too (A&P grade and residing w/in district). I think you have a very good shot at getting in being #2. Keeping my fingers crossed for you. Hope to see you at the orientation.

I GOT ACCEPTED !!!!! I'm so excited. There are so many things going on in my head right now that I need to get done before school starts. I opened the envelope and read the first line saying I was in then gave it to my husband, started jumping up and...

Congrats 2010 !!!!! I'm so scared now but anxious at the same time knowing that someone finally got a letter. With 310 too, lets hope people accept elsewhere and I have a chance.. I'll let you know.

None yet and its drive me crazy...no wait...I'm already there! Just kidding. I talked to the nursing office on Wednesday of last week and she said they had not yet received "the list" from the enrollment office. Once she has the list, she'll mail ...

I'm in the same boat. Out of the 3 I applied to, I've got one letter left to get and pray that is an acceptance letter (Chemeketa). I've taken a CNA class and have put off my state exam hoping to get in nursing in the fall but I might just schedule...

Try not to make it your life if at all possible because it will make you a wreck. I've been waiting since February and should hear any day now...Enjoy your summer and try to keep your mind off of it even though I know that is very difficult. Good ...
another note, is that you still can get rejected when you have 100% of the total points (minus the 5 points bonus for being on the alternate list from the previous year)......
This is my third year of applying to nursing schools without any success so far. All of my pre-req's are done and I have a good GPA. Chemeketa is my last school to hear from this year and I pray that I get accepted. All I can say to those who get...

Ya, got my letter too... I didn't get an interview with 49.6 pts. Third year in a row of waiting...what the hell's another year... This is frustrating !!! Congrats to all that are going on with the interviews and hopefully you all get accepted.

I got my points letter from Clackamas today as well. My points were correct, in fact .60 more than what I had so I can't complain. That's probably not a biggie but I'll take everything they give me. So sometime after the 19th we should get our "yo...
