    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Got my point confirmation, too: 57.84. They could have just rounded it up to 58.

    So what did it say? It only gives your points? Anything else?

    I suspect we'll see a flood of and in the next week or so. Honestly, I had completely forgotten about it until a friend asked me yesterday. I'm so busy with other things in my life at the moment....

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

    kamaboko replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't disagree that having a BSN is essential in today's job market. I'm just saying save the money on the lower division (e.g., 200 level) classes, then bridge over to a four-year BSN program. I...

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    For those either receiving acceptance letters or...denial...it would be nice if they could post their points, GPA and health care work history so we can hopefully see a pattern. Thanks,

    Congrats!

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

    kamaboko replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think there's a difference. A CC is about $75/credit hour where as a private university such as OHSU is $298/credit hour. So for a five credit hour class the difference is $375 vs $1490. I which...

  8. OHSU's Accelerated BSN program 2012

    kamaboko replied to smallfry2's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I wish you the best of luck. That said, I suspect most everyone applying to OHSU, and other schools in this area, have the same determination and diligence. As a college prof of mine once said,...

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

    kamaboko replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    They accept limbs and organs as partial payment. You may also consider donating your first child. :-) Yes, it is expensive. I only applied to two community colleges. If I get in, great. If not,...

  10. Who has applied multiple years w/o getting in?

    kamaboko replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon Nursing

    airbender, thanks for the update. looks like it's getting tougher.

  11. Who has applied multiple years w/o getting in?

    kamaboko posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi, I was just curious as to how many have applied more than once to nursing programs in Oregon and were not accepted. The question comes up a lot within my group of friends. For instance, "if you...

  12. Who has applied multiple years w/o getting in?

    kamaboko replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OMG! Some tried for six years!?!? Wow! So you got in during the tail end of the lottery period. How about other students that got in not during the lottery period? Do you know the average GPA's and...

  13. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah, I got the CNA for the 'extra point' but in no way could afford to do the work. It would have been a serious cut in income. The problem is that so many people are grasping at straws for a job...

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    yellow6t, Don't put too much thought into it. If it happens, it happens. I was told the average for those accepted last year at PCC was 60pts. That came from one of the nursing admin people. The...

  16. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't know about Linfield, but PCC told me around May I should hear something. I hope to hear, "We feel compelled to give you a full scholarship. In fact, we insist that you not pay a dime". LOL....

  17. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Honestly, don't get bent out of shape if you don't get in. It's not uncommon for it to take a second round of applications, particularly if one doesn't have a prior degree. I sort of see this as the...

  18. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yeah, I know what you mean. Mention you have a 4.0 to a nursing admissions advisor and you get the "so what" look. Mention you have a CNA and you get a raised eyebrow. Mention you have previous...

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think I read in a post for the 2010 CCC applicants that the cut off for interviews was 55. I can only suspect the bar has been raised for

  20. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It's funny. I don't find myself thinking about the application process until I get a notice to one of these threads. I turned my applications in sometime around late December. If it happens, it...

  21. What is the job market like in OR?

    kamaboko replied to marie010's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Interestingly enough...when I was getting my CNA (for the purpose of my NS application) the gal in-charge of the program, with well over 20 years of RN experience, flat out told me, and several other...

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi, Anything is possible. With that said, I'll say the following. The first round of cuts, as I've been told by admissions people, comes down to points. Those with the highest GPA's, CNA work...

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The point system is located on pages 6 to 8 on the application guide. You have to add them up yourself as each grade is course dependent on its
