  1. Is there anyone else feeling really frustrated?

    JROregon replied to TNTD2011's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I would take California off your list because the state is cutting funding to colleges and some nursing programs are actually closing. California is in a world of hurt. Hawaii is likely as competitive...

  2. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    JROregon replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I must agree with Mi Vida Loca. The hospitals have sick/injured/recovering adults. At our local hospitals the ratio is something like 30:1. Unless you are having your clinical rotations at a large...

  3. Is there anyone else feeling really frustrated?

    JROregon replied to TNTD2011's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well plenty of people in my program took classes a second time in order to get the A that was needed. Are you concerned with how long it will take? What colleges or areas of state have you tried?...

  4. What would you do for five weeks

    JROregon replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Relax and enjoy. Just chiming in. I finished my first year and am so thankful to have the summer off to just chill. I s'pose I could read ahead - I think they'll be putting up a reading list as we...

  5. what are the preparations for the clinical???

    JROregon replied to smily11's topic in General Students

    You could probably find a ton of information on-line regarding head-to-toe assessments. Check youtube videos and different checklists. Are you going to be practicing on one

  6. what are the preparations for the clinical???

    JROregon replied to smily11's topic in General Students

    What's a clinical class. Does that mean you will be working in the hospital or other type of care facility? Has your school given an orientation to talk about the dress code? What kind of book(s) do...

  7. No sick adults please.....can I still be a nurse?

    JROregon replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    If you have any amount of compassion for people who are hurting, you will do just fine. And I get the husband thing. When husbands catch a cold, they are at death's doorstep and everyone needs to know...

  8. Should I be scared, nervous or anxious?

    JROregon replied to CHRISTINE HEARTS's topic in General Students

    I am as cool as a cucumber yet something about my nursing program puts me on edge before clinicals every week. Maybe because I feel like it is a 2 year long job interview. Maybe it's the 6-8 hours of...

  9. Study books for Anatomy and Physiology

    JROregon replied to Mrs-dedicated's topic in General Students

    I am going to assume that this will be your first year of college. Have you already taken a cell biology or chemistry class? My college had a couple of pre-requisite classes before a student was even...

  10. Adn program cost?

    JROregon replied to mjohns13's topic in General Students

    I think the grand total for someone starting out without prior college classes would be a total of around 12 grand. Each term (3 terms/year) was around $900 for 12 credits of pre and co-requisites....

  11. Did you ENJOY nursing school?

    JROregon replied to heartbeep's topic in General Students

    One year down, one more year to go. It was a giant roller coaster ride/marathon but likely one of the best years of my life. Wonderful classmates with so many different backgrounds and personalities....

  12. Sad...and jealous?

    JROregon replied to caprisiosa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I waited for my youngest to hit kindergarten before even starting school and I remember finding out a friend was starting the year before I planned to start. I was pretty envious of her trek down the...

  13. Nursing Loan Forgivness

    JROregon replied to missems777's topic in General Students

    I don't know about loan forgiveness but I do know that in order to work for the federal government, you'll need to graduate from an NLN approved nursing

  14. Volunteer Cuddlers Program in the NICU

    JROregon replied to gggaaabbbbyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a children's hospital in Tallahassee? Does the local hospital have a large "at risk" population? I don't live in a big city and the nearest NICU/PICU hospital is 50 minutes away. Most...

  15. Nursing textbooks question!

    JROregon replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    Let's see.... we had pharm the first year of nursing school and I sold it back because I will be using my Davis's drug guide for reference. We don't have a separate patho-phys class or book but the...

  16. Any advise on classes

    JROregon replied to bug2621's topic in General Students

    What classes have you taken so

  17. BA to BSN prerequisites

    JROregon replied to BAtoBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I've known a couple of people who took the highly immersive condensed version of the A&P series at the local university and really enjoyed the pace of the classes. You just can't get lost or...

  18. Scared but Determined...

    JROregon replied to dreamer827's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    48. I remember the first trip to the community college to talk to an advisor. She signed me up for my first class - I was the last person on the wait-list and was extremely lucky to get into the...

  19. A quick vent about APA

    JROregon replied to Tait's topic in General Students

    Yes, thinking about the proper way to cite and write up the reference page suck any pleasure or spontaneity out of all the writing I do. And, of course, each instructor has different

  20. How did classmates who didn't get into nursing school react when you got in?

    JROregon replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    By the way, I think it is awesome that you did all the work and put in the effort to get into a bridge program. There is some serious sacrificing that goes into working and getting good grades at the...

  21. How did classmates who didn't get into nursing school react when you got in?

    JROregon replied to live&love&heal's topic in General Students

    I understand that others get disappointed that they didn't apply or make it into a nursing program. I see the same thing with single people when a friend gets married or a childless couple when their...

  22. Am I crazy to take Statistics for my 1st pre-req during the summer?

    JROregon replied to kaya767's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did not find statistics to be "mathy". You'll still have to think and understand but it is so different from algebra. You might actually enjoy it. Give yourself ample time to get help early on like...

  23. BA to BSN prerequisites

    JROregon replied to BAtoBSN's topic in Oregon Nursing

  25. Help with first nursing exam questions!

    JROregon replied to misscherie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    On the first question, asking the patient for permission to ask her daughter would be the correct answer. If the patient was fine answering the questions on her own until getting tired, you would...
