  1. Volunteering and honors program to look better to programs?

    buttercupp85 replied to ccstudentpsychnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In the programs I was going for, you got extra points for volunteering and even more points for having a job in healthcare. Also, I had a proctored essay to write, and the program I actually got into...

  2. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    buttercupp85 replied to queserasera's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took anatomy and physiology, biology with genetics (a requirement to graduate for the nursing program I was going for), and statistics (also a requirement for graduation, but not a prereq)....

  3. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    buttercupp85 replied to mee9mee9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No! Not too old. I'm 27 and am finishing my first term of nursing school. When I graduate, I'll be 30. I am also pretty much the average age in my program. I think it's technically 29. This is a...

  4. ADN or BSN. Advice.

    buttercupp85 replied to jnette2011's topic in General Students

    I chose to do a BSN program. I just want to get it done all at once, but if I had gotten into an Associate's program and not a BSN, I would've totally done that. I've also talked to older nurses who...

  5. Are clinicals flexible?

    buttercupp85 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    You know, I had the same exact worry this summer. I was about to start my nursing program with no car and I read that some of our clinical sites can be up to 45 min. Drive away! For my school, the...

  6. OHSU Ashland fall 2012

    buttercupp85 posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Just wondering if there were any other nursing students on here that got accepted into OHSU Ashland for fall 2012. Would be cool to connect before orientation! I am 27 years old, so somewhat of an...

  7. OHSU Ashland fall 2012

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I feel the same way! I just moved to Oregon about two years ago and know pretty much no one in Ashland. Would love to get in touch with people beforehand

  8. Finish my Bachelors while waiting for nursing admission?

    buttercupp85 replied to Sartorius1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And I think with financial aide (I might be wrong), but already having a bachelor degree and applying for financial aide for a second degree only takes you out of the running for grant money. But...

  9. Course load or course overload???

    buttercupp85 replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's up to you what you think you can do. Nursing school is super competitive; therefore, I think it's better to take your time and get all A's than overload yourself and get mostly B's. In my...

  10. OHSU Ashland fall 2012

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats to everyone! Has anyone figured out their living plans yet? I'm just starting to look into my

  11. OHSU Nursing Campus Rating

    buttercupp85 replied to DQstatus's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I believe that the Portland campus is more popular because Portland is a popular place. Everyone wants to live in Portland. They have more applications for only 24 spots, since most spots go to the...

  12. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That's exactly how I felt! I even started to apply for childcare and hospital (or both combined) jobs in Portland. Funnily enough, one job just contacted me today for an interview. I'll have to tell...

  13. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats! I'm sure that made your day

  14. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The proctored essay is separate. You'll need to find a proctor and you'll email OHSU your proctor's info. I'm sure you can do this on campus at PCC. I did mine at OIT. Then you schedule a date to do...

  15. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks everyone! I got my call around the same time as well

  16. Who all is waiting to apply/hear back for Fall 2012?

    buttercupp85 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was originally put on the alternate list for Oregon Health and Science University, but got a call yesterday saying they had a spot for me! So excited I was shaking when I hung up the phone. Congrats...

  17. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    So this morning... I got a call from OHSU! They offered me a spot in Ashland. I'm so freaking excited! Good luck to everyone else and don't give up

  18. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I talked to my advisor today, and she said alternate students got their calls from OHSU about right when school ended here. So around June 15th or 16th. So I'll stop stalking every phone call from a...

  19. Is 31 too old to start a nursing career?

    buttercupp85 replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know exactly how you feel. Been there myself! I am 27 years old and for a while was bummed that I'll be 30 when I graduate and let's just say the timeline I set for my life didn't really happen the...

  20. OHSU acceptances/alternates

    buttercupp85 replied to buttercupp85's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Anyone hear anything about when OHSU will start calling people? I'm guessing after May 25th because that's when people are supposed to have mailed their decision in

  21. Need to get my GPA up but don't know where to start

    buttercupp85 replied to Ethsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in your same situation. If you don't mind relocating and aren't dead set on those two schools, check out schools that only look at your prerequisite GPA. There are a couple of really good BSN...

  22. What route did you take/is taking to become a nurse?

    buttercupp85 replied to gordomagnet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest trying to crash those classes at community colleges. who knows, it could work! Also, if you're stuck at CSULB for at least another year, you could always consider taking your time and...

  23. What does volunteering at a Hospital get you?

    buttercupp85 replied to Dezy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are two big benefits to volunteering as I see it. First, it'll help you get into a nursing school program. Some schools give extra points to your application for volunteer experience and if...

  24. Science courses for Nursing

    buttercupp85 replied to j0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I started doing nursing prerequisites like anatomy and physiology, I didn't have much science under my belt. I had taken some chemistry and animal science classes about 5 years ago but that was...

  25. I'm never gonna make it!

    buttercupp85 replied to dsy89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When I didn't get into nursing last year, my "helpful" pre-nursing advisor told me to change my major and that I was not gonna make it. That made me really mad. And in my university there is only 1...
