2xtrouble

I got in!!! Wuhoo!!!! Man I have never been so nervous opening an envelope :) Keep trying Care Baer - It took me a couple of years also..

My mail isn't here yet... Cross your fingers for me!

Wuhoo!! Way to go!!!

I haven't received a letter from Clackamas yet - I think the mail box is getting worn out! Please let the acceptance be in there today!!

It does seem impossible to get all of the points! I had 60... and have been scrambling to find some info on the points that were accepted last year. Anyone know?

Any word yet from Clackamas??? Any idea when they will send letters out? The waiting is KILLING me! :) Btw, for those of you that did get interviews at CCC, how many points did you have going in?

It is a tough call. And maybe just a mental exercise since I haven't gotten into a CC yet (interview tomorrow at Clackamas - fingers crossed!). Financially it seems like an easy decision, and the time issue isn't a difficult one either - I have four kids, and the ability to spend the summers with them ranks right up there so I would gladly take a bit longer to do the program if it means I have the summers with my kiddos... What I am really looking for is the justification for Linfield's cost. Of course if I don't get into Clackamas I will GLADLY head off to Linfield in June... but given the choice of the two it is a difficult decision. Thanks for the help :)

Hi, I am hoping some of you with more experience than I can give me some insight on different schools and their programs... I have been accepted to Linfield's accelerated BSN program starting in June and am also waiting to hear from Clackamas Community college and Clark College (which should be any day now :)). I am comparing the cost of Linfield's program with that of the community colleges and there is roughly a $30K difference for the program - is Linfield that much better? The NCLEX pass rates are a good 10% lower than community colleges. Here is some background: I currently have a BA in Business from OSU and am an older student (38). It doesn't look like there is much difference in pay for a BSN vs ADN, and I would have the option of continuing for a BSN or MN through the bridge program later on if I decided I wanted to go that route. Any thoughts??? Thanks!

Hello, I hope you can give me some direction... I have a current bachelors degree in business and am now applying to nursing school. I have been accepted to an accelerated BSN program at a private college ($44k for the 18 month program) as well as community college ($7500 for the two year associates degree). Either way, I would like to continue for my nurse practitioner masters degree - which I could get without a BSN given that I have a bachelors in business. Which route makes more sense in looking down the road? I would like to work a while before continuing for my masters... Thanks for your help!
