You can put whatever value you like on my comments given that I got into PCC, but declined and dropped out of nursing all together. Do you have any volunteer time on record? That might be your best bet and/or take over whatever classes you didn't ...

Sure thing. I hope you and everyone here enjoys the adventure.

Pulling out altogether. I won't attend any program.

Some lucky person will get a call today or tomorrow as I've just notified PCC that I will not be attending its nursing program. Best of luck to everyone. K

Going to a non accredited school is like buying a car w/o a warranty. You can certainly do what you want, but it's not the smart move in my book. Heck, I got into a nursing program for this Fall and it's unlikely I'll even attend anyway.

pjcna27, My no BS answer is go to a school with current accreditation.

Care1, Your self-deprecating reply struck me as childish. As for all of those 'important' questions you posted, they struck me as pointless. Why is it important for me to know how long it takes another student to complete a program? Why is it impo...

I'll toss my two bones into this conversation. As I've mentioned a number of times, a good friend of mine recruits in the med industry; primarily MD's and NP's. He too, is a former NP. His advice to me was to stay away from 'for profit' schools su...

yellow6t, For what it's worth, I did submit my acceptance today.

This question is specific to PCC. The short story is that a job offer in the six figure range will be coming down the pipeline around mid July. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot and decline it, particularly in this economy. At the same time...

Yes, you have it correct. I think I will say OK to PCC, then see what happens. Just wanted to get some public opinion.

Thanks for the update.

I imagine a number of people are like me. I haven't decided to accept yet at PCC. I probably won't until the 15th. Too many things to consider and think through.

Thanks for posting. I was wondering about this story.

It's not that I would expect Kaiser to make an announcement, it's that I would expect at least a few of those 700 to contact a news station to get support for their cause. All it would take is one person out of 700. This is what I find hard to beli...

Yeah, layoffs of this size do not go unreported. I think the OP jumped the gun on this.

Can anyone else confirm this? I put some feelers out, and no one has heard of this. Odd that it didn't hit the news on the first day these emails were sent.

Simply amazing. I feel bad for them.

Where did you hear this? I called my medical recruiter friend to confirm. They hadn't heard it yet and are making some calls to confirm.

Anyone else see this post? -------------- https://allnurses.com/oregon-nurses/kaiser-permenante-northwest-570113.html

Wow, now that's a lot of nurses!

I've attended one private university, one state university, and three community colleges. All of them have their "Welcome Back Kotter" students, period. As for cheating, it happens everywhere and to think it doesn't is being incredibly naive. Give...

Hmm...certainly a thoughtful and insightful assessment of its value.

Interesting comments about PCC. I've not had a bad experience there. What have other people experienced at the Sylvania campus that makes it a bad choice?

You will survive this disappointment like you have survived others. You rationalized your decision, and for that you shouldn't feel bad.
