  1. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I definitely would have preferred a stronger focus on med-surg, pharmacology and pathophysiology. I felt that Linfield had too much focus on community

  2. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I was concerned about what I read in the forum, too, regarding Linfield's lack of clinical hours. I toured the school and asked the student who was giving the tour what her opinion was. She told me...

  3. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hmm... that Lund report has to be wrong. Multiple sources within the Legacy system told me that the layoffs were actually 400 FTE positions, not just 400 employees. Most nurses work .9 FTE because...

  4. New RN program at Sumner College???

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    A word of caution: RN and LPN jobs are VERY difficult to find in the Portland area right now. I would think long and hard before going into this kind of debt for a LPN or ASN degree... it's a very...

  5. So how's the job market NOW?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to busymommy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Worse than ever in Portland and the surrounding areas. I graduated in December 2011 with my BSN and watched the market the entire time I was in school. Unfortunately, Legacy just went through major...

  6. OHSU and Linfield ABSN Grads - Questions

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to pnlu007's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I spent about 2 1/2 weeks studying for the NCLEX... I took the online HURST review and then focused on all of their content and passed at 75 questions. I think most of my classmates who took the HURST...

  7. Linfield Accelerated Summer 2011 Cohort

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    pnlu, i wish i had really great & positive feedback and advice, but unfortunately i don't. i graduated from linfield's accelerated program last december and still don't have any great job...

  8. My daughter wants to be a nurse

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to Kica93's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, as a new BSN grad in a market that has NO jobs for new grads - even BSN's, I would encourage the BSN. But, maybe you live in a better place where the market isn't so tight. (One of the big...

  9. Newgrad planning on moving to OR...?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to CBelieuNewGrad's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Words of encouragement.... get a job in AK if you can. There really aren't jobs here in Portland. There are a couple of hospitals which have internships for new grads and they are crazy competitive....

  10. Newgrad planning on moving to OR...?

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to CBelieuNewGrad's topic in Oregon Nursing

    No, but she'd be a lot more likely to get a job than she is now as a new grad. There are job postings in OR for experienced nurses, but none for new grads. If she has the opportunity to get a job in...

  11. OREGON Admissions process.. Help!

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to Miss_Wishful's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well, here is what I would recommend since you're so young and haven't completed your pre-req's yet... Transfer to Linfield and complete your nursing pre-req's there. It's expensive, but you'll be...

  12. Linfield Accelerated Summer 2011 Cohort

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You have to have one year total (3 terms) of bio and/or chem classes combined (besides the A/P requirements) For example, I had: Bio 102, Bio 112, and Chem 101 that counted for my year. (Chem 101 and...

  13. Linfield Accelerated Summer 2011 Cohort

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The school doesn't create cohort pages... they rely on the students to do that. They were really impressed when we did it last year for the Summer '10 cohort because we were the first group to be...

  14. Am I crazy?

    Congrats!!! Enjoy your summer 'off'!

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to jessi76's topic in Oregon Nursing

  22. Accelerated program at Linfield

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to jessi76's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You guys want to meet at Starbucks at 8:00 on Monday, June 21? I think that would give us enough time to chitchat and get back to Linfield for Check In at 8:45. No, I haven't heard from a mentor,...

    taz5869, RNC-OB replied to jessi76's topic in Oregon Nursing
