  1. Does Nursing School Allow Any College Major?

    JROregon replied to kaolla56's topic in General Students

    Why don't you look for a university that has a nursing program and try to get into that. It's a little late for year 3 but you could try for the following year and take all of your anatomy and...

  2. Okay so I really want to go to nursing school.

    JROregon replied to lolo0909's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Colleges are all different. My local comm college requires a placement test for math and English before getting started. To prepare for the placement test, I got an algebra workbook to get up to speed...

  3. Is it possible to take Anatomy and Physiology at the same time in 6 weeks?

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

    Up here in Oregon, the A&P is taken together in one class. Oregon State Univ has a summer A&P course that is condensed into a similar amount of time. Hopefully, you will be studying the same...

  4. Seeking advice second career

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

    Not all comm colleges have waiting lists. In Oregon, most look at a mix of grades and essays. Some have interviews. I would take the cheapest route and get your ASN/ADN and worry about the BSN later....

  5. I have no immunization records... what do I do?

    JROregon replied to basilisk06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mamacashew, You will need a tetorifice shot every 10 years. Your immunity wears off for tetorifice. If you get more than one in a ten year period, you may have a reaction but this isn't always the...

  6. Other Students Repeatedly Asking me for things....

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

    Why should the poster have to spend 2 minutes exporting a file and emailing it. If classmates are too lazy to make their own notes, why should the poster lift a finger for them. I think it is rude for...

  7. Other Students Repeatedly Asking me for things....

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

    I don't believe you have to be nice about it. I would let them know that you don't have extra time to copy off notes for class. And don't say you are sorry either. I would say you are running behind...

  8. GPA DILEMMA

    JROregon replied to ST MeLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just read your first post over. I forgot that you want to be a CRNA. The schools that have CRNA programs want the creme of the crop and have more than enough students with great grades applying. If...

  9. GPA DILEMMA

    JROregon replied to ST MeLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you want the class to transfer, the grade will be coming with it. Have you looked at the application for the nursing program at your school? Do you need to take micro, A&P and other classes in...

  10. GPA DILEMMA

    JROregon replied to ST MeLa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    23 years ago I got my BS in business admin by just scraping by. I started up at my local comm college nearly 2 years ago and got As in all of my science classes and other classes that counted for...

  11. C+ in AP III Should I retake it?

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

    I would also re-take it after understanding where you had trouble. This is information you'll need to know as a nurse anyway so it won't be time

  12. How do the kidneys and nephrons work?

    JROregon replied to peachmouse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm 47 and really enjoy the animation of some of the videos that are on youtube. Some are really well produced and come from universities. When my textbook got a little dry, I turned to the internet...

  13. I feel like I'm "cheating" on nursing for asking this...

    JROregon replied to StangGang92's topic in General Students

    Nursing is medicine. Yes, do check pre-reqs at the institution(s) you would like to attend. Yes, focus on classes and not minoring in a

  14. Nursing prereq grade requirements

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

    I kept that 4.0 expectation in the back of my mind through all my pre-req classes and it helped me to stay focused on the goal. When I got accepted into the program, I realized that the grades were...

  15. A little bit of doubt

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

    Well, you've gotta start somewhere. Yes, it's hard to get through the pre-reqs. Yes, you will be challenged. Yes, you will have to take classes that you aren't interested in. You may have to save...

  16. Second bachelors degree in nursing advice!!

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

    I say the cheaper the better. However, if you transfer out of state to complete your BSN, you'll want to make sure the pre-req classes are equivalent. Different schools look at GPAs differently. Some...

  17. New Grad Jobs in Oregon???

    JROregon replied to Liquidaddicted's topic in Oregon Nursing

    In fact, there is a new grad opening in Newport, OR. If you can deal with the Oregon Coast for a year, that could be your "in". NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) is moving to...

    JROregon replied to Liquidaddicted's topic in Oregon Nursing

    samhealth.org Samaritan Health takes applications April - June for new grads and hires in August. You might be a little late but check their site for new grad opportunities. A little less competitive...

  19. Can I get my LPN license after completing an entire year of Nursing school?

    JROregon replied to Felicia327's topic in General Students

    Your state(s) board of nursing can point out schools where you can take one year of nursing school to become a LPN/LVN. We have one comm college that I am aware of (sorry, it's in Oregon) that allows...

  20. Worth an extra semester and extra $ for the BSN?

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

    That is a dilemma. It is easier for me to make a choice to get the ADN first and then get the BSN. 1st, I only live a mile from my comm college and the nearest BSN school is about 40 miles away. 2nd,...

  21. Micro and A&P 2 together?

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

    We are on the quarter system so A&P is broken up into 3 classes. I did take both A&P and micro together and had no problems as long as I kept up on the reading, the homework, studying for...

    JROregon replied to luisaf7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Going from DNA to RNA T=A, G=C, A=U, C=G G and C look alike, that's how I remember that they are complementary going from DNA to RNA or RNA to DNA. T is only in DNA and U is only in RNA. Make...

    JROregon replied to mell260's topic in General Students

    I'm also one of those people who would like to know the motivation behind a question. If the motivation isn't listed, I make my own assumption. I don't know the motive behind this question but will...
