  1. OHSU's Accelerated BSN program 2012

    kamaboko replied to smallfry2's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I spoke with an advisor at OHSU about their accelerated program. This is the short story. The GPA is taken from all college coursework completed. In this case, your previous degree and your current...

  2. CNA exam study group

    kamaboko posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hello, I passed the PCC CNA program a few months ago but have not taken the state exam. Honestly, the material is so dry I feel like going into a coma as I read all the procedures. I'm looking to...

  3. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi AI34, Yeah, no point in doing the freak out over this. The decision process for accepting students is a mystery, and beyond your control. I also remind myself of the masses of nurses who can't...

  4. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    This is how to add up your points for MHCC, CCC, and PCC. Take Pi to the the 5th root of 78452.324, then divide that by the inverse function of N (x) to the binomial of 3422/898e^3. They made it...

  5. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    FenterRocks, I couldn't agree more. GPA's are not the end-all be-all. As I often say, "the last place you'll find common sense is in

  6. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    jtpdx, I have no doubt OHSU is a fine school. I just don't want to pay that much money for lower level classes I can get at a community

  7. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I concur. I was told the same thing by an admissions person at OHSU. She basically said, "come in with a 4.0 to be on the safe side". I've got a 3.9GPA, and a previous degree, etc., and feel I'm...

  8. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm pretty sure the essay exam is part of the second round of cuts. I mean, not everyone gets to write an essay. The essay is only for those who have made it through the first of

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Gardenstt.. I got my CNA through

  10. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I wouldn't expect to hear any definitive answers regarding acceptance until mid to late May. Might as well give your fingernails a chance to grow. I'm already working on plan B if I don't get...

  11. Moving to Northwest Oregon

    kamaboko replied to scaredtorelocate's topic in Oregon Nursing

    So you're telling me my friend, who recruits in the medical field, has been sold a line of cabbage by his clients who informed him they're only interested in BSN's? Moreover, a number of medical...

  12. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    kamaboko replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    PCC 59.8 CCC 54.8 + 3 discretionary points if it comes to that. I'm not sure of my chances at CCC. I think I have better odds at PCC. I was told by one of the application reviewers at PCC that the...

  13. Moving to Northwest Oregon

    kamaboko replied to scaredtorelocate's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, it is tough. I was talking to a friend of mine today who is a medical recruiter (he is also a retired PA). He spoke of layoff's and hiring freezes all over the US. He asked if I had a...

  14. Don't move to Oregon if you're a new grad

    kamaboko replied to JulieB71's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, this is a national situation. There are plenty of BSN's with experience out there looking for work. This in part is prompting me to work on a backup plan relative to a career. I see no point...

  15. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I think the competition at the community college level is more intense than at the private school level simply because of the huge difference in cost. It is sort of funny to see all of us freaking...

  16. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Honestly, they are expecting to see A's in the A&P classes. I mean they are the 'core' of the prereq classes. The overall GPA certainly comes into play. For instance, if you got all A's but one...

  17. Ohsu - Ocne/bsn

    kamaboko replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I talked to some advisors at OHSU and this is what I was told. If applying for the accelerated BSN program have at least a 3.9GPA. Keep in mind this is an accumulated GPA for all course work taken,...

  19. What is the job market like in OR?

    kamaboko replied to marie010's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Interesting you should say that about BSNs. A friend of mine works in medical recruiting, a former PA himself, and he told me to get the BSN or face perpetual unemployment. Too many AA degreed...

  20. Don't move to Oregon if you're a new grad

    kamaboko replied to JulieB71's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well..provided I get into a program, I'm accepting of the fact I will have to move to some deserted area of the US to find the first

  21. Getting ready for nursing apps again - Portland/Salem area

    kamaboko replied to gardenstt's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm applying to CCC and PCC. One of the people who reviews the apps at PCC told me the average for the accepted 2010 students had a 3.9GPA, a previous four-year degree, and 60

  22. Who's getting ready to apply to nursing programs?

    kamaboko posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi, So...it's toward the end of the quarter and I suspect everyone is adding up their points to see where they fall in the pecking process. I plan to apply to CCC and PCC next month. I'm just...

  25. Accelerated A&P at PSU

    kamaboko replied to RunnerGirl09's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Standard for any A&P course. God, even a friend of mine who got their AA in nursing on Saipan had to test out on the same
