    kmd, I sent you a private

  2. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oh! Well, thanks for the heads up. I was waiting to receive an email saying that the training was available, and waiting for a training to show up with the title of what they said it would be. I...

    Dan, That's strange.. I can't find it on Big Brain anywhere. I did all the other required training months ago, but the only thing on there I see that relates is the Bloodborne Pathogen training for...

    Cinquefoil, they changed it this year! I guess it's going to be on Big Brain now.... But it's not there yet! Yes, LLH, Portland campus. See ya at

    I'm in the OCNE program, and I believe kmd is, too.. But we'll be in some of the same classes! Are you starting in the Fall term

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    kmd, Yes! I'm so excited to start...Have you heard anything about the Bloodborne Pathogen training? I got an email a month ago saying we'd need to complete it online, but never heard anything else. I...

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats! I was on the Linfield waitlist, and never heard anything.. Luckily, I got accepted to OHSU, so I never followed up with Linfield. I find it surprising that they don't maintain a ranked...

  8. petite scrubs

    airbender replied to jordanmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm 5'2" and petite... I just tried on a ton of styles at a uniform store. The Grey's Anatomy (in junior sizes, not missy) definitely ran more like street clothes sizing. The size chart was accurate...

  9. dimensional analysis saved my life

    airbender replied to nursingstudent_88's topic in General Students

    Congrats on the test! I learned dimensional analysis (unit-factor method) in chemistry - it was a little awkward at first, but with practice, it is a "fail proof" way to calculate dosages with the...

  10. OREGON Admissions process.. Help!

    airbender replied to Miss_Wishful's topic in Oregon Nursing

    People definitely get in with 3.6 - 3.7, but it's certainly no guarantee. Your best bet would likely be at the BSN programs - they tend to evaluate applicants on essays and life experience that is not...

  11. ITT Tech's New Program???

    airbender replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I try not to get too controversial on this message board. But really, I do think nursing school should be a little exclusive. I do think potential nursing students should excel academically, and have...

  12. What if you accept then decline before classes start?

    airbender replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I third the "say yes", then decline if the job comes through. People do it all the time; it's why schools have so many

  13. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    And yellow, I believe they said they take 50 alternates. And I declined my seat! I think once they letters are due, which is June 15th, the list will really open up... Good

    I got to talk to an OHSU student yesterday who really clarified the parking issue. I don't know, it just isn't daunting to me, despite having two school-aged kids and being pretty busy. There are free...

  15. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm worried about parking, too. I found a free shuttle that picks up from all the OHSU campuses, including the one downtown, and stops at the main Marquam Hill area, so I'm interested in exploring...

  16. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oh, K - that's a tough spot. For me, I chose OHSU's higher tuition (I have another degree, too) for the benefits that graduating their BSN program will offer, including attending a top-ranked nursing...

  17. OHSU -- Accepted!

    airbender replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Jessica, not sure about the waiting list. I'd say there is always hope, as people shuffle around and figure out where they want to go... Give it another month! I mailed my acceptance in last week;...

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oh, kamaboko, you got into PCC!! I know it. And if not, I'm declining my spot I was offered - 1 more off the waitlist! Congrats to

  19. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    For the pre-reqs (45 credits), I had them all complete and a 4.0. I agree with the other posters, I think the essay is the only other way they evaluate applicants, so it's crucial to use that to...

    airbender replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Update for people hoping for a University of Portland waitlist offer: They just called me and offered me a spot from the waitlist - I was #21, (and declined!) so I'm sure some people will be very...

  21. OHSU -- Accepted!

    airbender replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm still in dreamland... Can't wait to start this journey! About the child care, I looked at the schedule for last year sophomores, and it was 1 lecture day 9 to 1, and two long clinical days. It's...

    Congrats Grasshopper and Kanga! It's so exciting... I can't stop smiling. I bet our class will be great; I'm so grateful for the opportunity to attend

  23. OHSU -- Accepted!

    airbender replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Aw, all of our hard work paid off! I'm so elated. Off to celebrate Mother's Day - even my kids are impressed I got in! I'm hoping a few mimosas will take my mind off the incredible amount of...

  24. OHSU -- Accepted!

    airbender replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey, me too! I got the mail at 10:30 this morning, and have been walking on air all day! Are you going to Portland campus? Guess we'll be classmates... A current student was nice enough to email me...
