I just applied to a few nursing schools. Some of them still have their applications open, but University of Portland just past the January 15th deadline. I'm DYING. Does anyone have an idea of how long it usually takes before you get notified? Th...

I am currently in the spring entry cohort. Most of the students in my cohort are transfer students....there are about 100 of us I'd say. Typically, the fall entry are "regular" juniors who have been going to the school since their freshman year. Th...

Well I'm sure that your prior degree will only benefit you. I am pretty certain that they only really pay attention to the pre-reqs for nursing school. As far as Prov Scholars goes, I did apply and got an interview, but did not get the scholarship....

oh and I forgot to mention cost. The tuition is extremely expensive - about $15,000 a semester. 15x5 (for five semesters of nursing school) is 75,000 for total cost of tuition. HOWEVER, don't be scared. I was given a nice chunk in grants and that'...

Hi there, I am going to start classes at UP for nursing on Jan 11th. I applied and got in on the first try (thank goodness). I went to a community college for pre nursing classes. My overall GPA was 3.5 and science GPA of 3.8. I volunteered at a ho...

I am thinking about doing the AFROTC for nursing school. They will pay for 100% of my tuition, plus give me an allowance while ins chool. This is very appealing because the University of Portland is extremely expensive...for just two years I'll owe...

PLEASE help! I am wondering if any hospitals in oregon offer to pay off or aid their nurses in paying off student loans. I will be a nursing student in January at University of Portland and if I just take out student loans, I'll be in debt about $...

yeah i applied for the prov scholars but i sucked up teh interview and did not get it. providence has tuition reimbursement, but it's only up to like 1500 and that's a drop in the bucket compared to the cost of UP. ugh. maybe i'll just do the air f...

I don't know exactly how many will be handed out, but i don't think it is very many. Last year I met with a woman who was involved with the process and she told me that they are waiting for some people with the scholarship to graduate before they gi...

i have one too! I'm so nervous. I hope yours goes well hollerwhatwhat!

I got my letter too! I didn't think i'd get in the first time applying. but I was so excited. good luck to yoU!

oh. sorry i didn't read this before I posted my thread. I'm sorry you didn't get in, but whatever you do DON'T pull your hair our or get discouraged. I am sure you will have better luck with the OCNE schools, and even if you don't, keep trying. To ...

I KNOW! I didn't apply to OHSU because if I get into CCC or MHCC I'll go there my third year. Plus, their application process was crazy. I already had enough to deal with. haha. I hope all goes well with you studentmom. Good luck to your lottery ...

Thanks so much. Well I hope I hear something...I'm a little nervous. but, even if i don't get in this time, I will apply next year. Good luck to you

omg that is so funny about having to page over head. I'm an operator at my local hospital and I am constantly paging names overhead. I've had some really weird names, but the most memorable for me was Archangel. Yup. someone wanted me to page Archang...

Portland is very liberal and diverse. I have never heard of oregon being racist. that is interseting to me. I'm not african-american, but I have african-american friends and I've never heard of them having any trouble with anything or anyone. :)

i have already replied to this post, but i just love this story so much. it's really motivating!

I have been going to CCC for my pre-reqs for a while now, and I love the school in general. I have always had great instructors and I have heard great things about the nursing program as well. My sister in law trains the new nurses at one of the le...

I loved your story elvish. and, lovethenicu, that is extremely heartbreaking. I cannot imagine being a new mother with a preterm baby and being put on the back burner by these med/surg nurses. I know they probably did the best they could, but that's...

Providence just recently put a hiring freeze on all jobs until further notice. just to let people know...

from what i've seen it goes from 30-45 an hour, depending on experience and specialty. but providence health systems just froze any new hiring, and i think that a few other hospitals have too, because of the economy. good luck to you though.

I just sent in my applications to MHCC, CCC, and UP. (i actually drove and hand delivered them). I'm just waiting to hear back from them...Good luck to you all!! I didn't want to apply to OHSU, because if I get into one of the community colleges, ...

that is exactly how I feel. I truly believe that most depression is a choice that people make, and a pill is an easy way out. It's nice to hear it coming from someone else for a change. I had a bad experience when I was younger, and the feelings di...

this was an amazing post. I am SO glad to hear someone say this. Everyone tells you how rewarding nursing is, but NO one tells you how scary it can be the first year..so thanks.

that is amazing. it makes me sad that the parents did not want to have anything to do with her, but camille was blessed enough to have you there to rock her and comfort her during her time. you are truly a saint and I am sure at this moment camille...
