  9. Accelerated program at Linfield

    monkeyduty replied to jessi76's topic in Oregon Nursing

  12. CNA exam study group

    monkeyduty replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon Nursing

  17. Anything less than 4.0 GPA won't qualify for nursing?

    monkeyduty replied to kmdguy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well, the thing about OCNE schools is the price is so reasonable that they get tons and tons of candidates. They get to pick the cream of the crop. This means a lot of 4.0's but that's not the whole...
