I know there was a previous post that mentioned quite a bit of the MHCC program is done online. How has this worked out for those in the program? Will this be the case w/ PCC as well? I am a little turned off by this, simply because I have always ...

I am in the exact same boat! I am leaning toward MHCC b/c it is a smaller program, and it's not their first year as an OCNE school. I have to say that the instructors made a good impression on me at the interview. I am very curious to hear what pe...

andie74- It's not my school of choice (I don't think...) I am trying to decide between PCC and MHCC, but am leaning toward MHCC. I also have my fingers crossed that i get into OHSU off the waitlist... dharma-The envelope was regular sized and not th...

I think she will know if she has been accepted at Clackamas before she has to tell PCC if she will be attending or not.

I heard from PCC, and I got in!!!

Does anyone have any idea how going through OCNE (ie MHCC to OHSU) would look on a transcript when applying to grad school?

I recommend Jonathan Christie at PCC hands down. He is a great teacher, and he doesn't do MC tests (short answer), or power point lectures. You are going to have to memorize, no matter what, and you are going to have to learn all those muscles. I ...

There was a lot of criticism in another thread as to giving info away about interviews, so I will carefully answer this question... reread your letter- mine was pretty specific about what would happen (ie, written and oral portion). It's a group in...

I applied to MHCC, PCC, OHSU, and CC. IF I get selected to interview at CC I will withdraw my app. b/c it was sort of a back-up school for me (it is far from where I live). If I get into PCC, I will do a little research as to MHCC vs PCC, but will ...

I heard form the Portland campus yesterday. Go ahead and call them, maybe they will tell you over the phone!

Congrats you two! Getting accepted into nursing school is such an accomplishment. Best of luck to you both!

Thanks! I am actually really proud of myself (not to sound full of it...). They didn't give any specific info as to where I am on the waitlist. I am not sure if I will even remain on it, because I just got accepted to MHCC, and I got a good feelin...

Hi all, just wanted to report that I got my letter form OHSU today- I didn't get accepted, but I am on the alternate list. Good luck to you all. I am dying to hear from MHCC (tomorrow), as they are my first choice!!!

So.... I got my letter today. Not accepted, but on the alternate list. Good luck to all of you!

Gosh, I really hope that my posts are not being lumped in here. I did share my strategy for preparing, but absolutely nothing that was particular to any of the essays I sat for. I regarded it as how I might share my method for studying for an exam....

Tiffinapit, I suggest thinking of the questions they might ask, and writing out a practice essay (on the computer). This is what I did before my OHSU proctored essay. That one didn't go so well, but I used a lot of the material I came up with while...

You could take one A&P over the summer, one in the Fall, and be accepted contingent upon your completion of the third A&P. I know several people who did this. You actually will still have time to take Micro in the spring. Just a thought! I ha...

I am going at 10:30! For some reason I am not that nervous- I think it is because this is the third one I have done. I prepared for my MHCC interview pretty thoroughly (there is only so much you can do). Good luck to everyone! We should all know ...

Hi Dharma, Sorry you didn't feel better after your PCC essay. I have to take mine on Thursday, and am pretty nervous. For what it's worth, I felt awful after my OHSU proctored essay- ran out of time in a big way... I bet a lot of us feel that way,...

I think, if you are applying to ONCE programs, you should take a look at the points distribution, and see where you stand. GPA is very important. I have a 4.0 from the classes I am taking currently, but I am using some classes I took doing a previo...

I think you should double check your calculations, and call PCC too. Maybe your calculations was off? Or they made a mistake?

Hey Raybgl, You might actually have a better chance w/ OHSU than PCC. I think a lot depends upon your essay. If you have a great GPA, and wrote a great essay, then you probably have a good shot at getting in. If you lost most of your points at PCC...

Maybe give them a call? I got mine on Wednesday. BTW, I got an interview w/ 52 (or so) points.

if you go to the nursing admission website at any school, and download the info packet, you will be able to calculate your points. FWIW, I got an interview at Mt. Hood w/ 52 points, and one at PCC w/ 56 points.

Hi all! Got my PCC interview invite today, for 4/29!!!! So excited. Good luck everyone.
