I'm from Thousand Oaks, which is 20 minutes south of Ventura, and happens to be the city in which Los Robles Medical Center is located. Thousand Oaks is a nice community, suburb-like, but housing is...
Regis is great! I'm in the traditional BSN program and I really enjoy it. I transferred here, but it was extremely difficult to do so. They have very few transfer spots available, because they give...

We studied this phenomena in the OB class I took last semester. Hypertensive mothers (pre-eclamptic) tend to have decreased blood flow to the placenta, which is probable cause of abrupto placentae....
Cassieopea you are not losing your mind! UCLA's main campus and hospital is in Westwood, but they also have several medical offices and smaller hospitals around the Los Angeles area. Good Luck with...
I'm on the parking waiting list too, but when I called, the parking office clerk told me that the waiting list could be less than a year, simply because people are graduating in May. Another really...

Phatlipboardz, I've been accepted to UCHSC for this summer and was wondering about the housing situation--do you feel that it is helpful to live near campus? Is it hard for you to commute to campus...
Does anyone know anything about the Providence hospitals found throughout Oregon, specifically in Portland? Are they good hospitals and are their employees generally happy? Any help is appreciated!...

I received my acceptance letter for UP, but for Spring 2006 NOT for Fall 2005 as I had applied. Thinking this was a typo, I called admissions and they explained that they defer applicants to the...

michellemybelle replied to futureRN07's topic in Oregon Nursing
Nope, not at all. I'm guessing it's "competitive", like all nursing schools are these days. I'm really banking on the Providence Scholars program at U of P, which will pay my tuition if I work for a...
