    dharmawalk replied to Dresdenchick's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    dharmawalk replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Soo.. who is going to be the first to call PCC and find out what day they are mailing the letters? Doesn't "the week of" the 17th seem too broad? I have chewed off my fingernails already, and if I...

    dharmawalk replied to aymers14's topic in Oregon Nursing

    dharmawalk replied to Rachel-EMT's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I was thinking I was pretty competitive with 58 points, but maybe not as much as I thought- if only I had finished all my prereqs already! The minimum for an interview at CCC was 54 the last two...
