  1. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Me too! I've been anxious since I turned in all my applications! Now that it's down to the wire, I'm so, so impatient! I'm secretly hoping Linfield's letters will come tomorrow, or Saturday. That is...

  2. MHCC Part-time Program

    airbender replied to pdxmama's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I applied too, and they cashed my check... But that's it! I haven't received anything from them, except a general letter of enrollment about a week after application - probably from the application to...

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You can send private messages by clicking on a person's name and using the send message option. You don't need to be a paying member, but you do need to have 15 posts before the feature is activated (...

  4. University of Portland Letters are Comming

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah, got mine today. Unfortunately, it's a waitlist offer, so I'm not exactly over the moon. It could be worse! I have to wonder what exactly they're looking for. I have a prior degree, lots of...

  5. How does one pay for a School Like Linfield or University of Portland?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think it's worth it for the tuition at U of P, OHSU, or Linfield. They all have great reputations within the community, are formally affiliated with one of the 3 major hospital systems in Portland,...

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    On PCC's nursing page, they say the essays for the top applicants are on April 19th and 20th....I would guess they notify the top people around the end of

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It's the same formula for all OCNE schools: (pre-requisite GPA x 24) - 56 = number of GPA points. Good

  10. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Now I feel kind of hysterical about the transcript receipt issue - I checked today when I got home, and they were received! It says they were received January 14th, so it took about 5 business days to...

  11. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one FREAKING OUT about the NursingCas thing. It took me a month to complete it, all the while grumbling about why I have to pay them, if they won't even enter my...

  12. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oh, I've emailed with them multiple times. They did get back to me quickly, too. I sent my transcripts via certified mail in December, but one of the schools didn't include the transcript tracking...

  13. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Has anyone had their transcripts verified, or even received, by Nursing CAS yet? I sent my over 2 weeks ago, and they haven't been received yet, which I find pretty unlikely. I'm getting pretty...

  14. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I definitely noticed myself repeating a few things on the insight resume. That was hard to complete! I worked on it for MONTHS, and when the time came to send it off, I felt really nervous - it's...

  15. Who's getting ready to apply to nursing programs?

    airbender replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Applications are nerve-wracking - I think the points system almost makes it worse! PCC is the only CC I'm applying at, since I don't think I have enough points to be competitive at the others - and I...

  16. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    airbender replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm applying for the regular BSN program this year... I've finally got most of the prerequisites done, and have started wading through the new application - the NursingCAS thing is complicated! Are...

  17. apollo college?

    airbender replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't have any personal experience with Apollo's nursing program, but I work with several medical assistants from there who seem smart and skilled. That being said, the problems with tech schools...

  18. I have a B.S. degree, what would it take to become a CRNA?

    airbender replied to NYMOM83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to get another bachelor's degree in nursing ( with a competitive GPA), and then find a job in critical care. Most schools require a minimum of 1 year of critical care experience. Many...

  19. Have you ever cheated?

    airbender replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    [quote=JustYouWait Thanks to those who posted. I knew honest people exist somewhere! ;)" So, you think people who don't admit to cheating aren't honest? Odd logic. It's people like you, who seem...

  20. Just venting about something dumb

    airbender replied to K nurse-one-day's topic in General Students

    There's a woman in my statistics class who eats a full meal during every class. She brings in a huge plate of enchiladas, stir fry, etc., and the whole room smells like it for the entire period! I...

  21. A&P I Frustrations!

    airbender replied to hcook08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely depends on the school(s) you're applying to. In my area, the schools are extremely competitive, and and a C in any science pre-req would not be considered competitive. A&P is...

  22. University of Portland interview questions

    airbender replied to Tamarcita's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Tamarcita, Good luck in your interview. I would always err on the side of formality, and wear a suit to any interview. On the "General Nursing Student" board, there is a sticky thread regarding...
