I've been offline for the past week or so, and am just now catching up. I'm hoping to receive all the information I need next week at orientation, including the required and optional book list. Also looking forward to meeting everyone! Still fee...

There are many alternates that won't be accepting, though, so that's why they end up moving through the list quickly.

I have to say that I was relieved not to worry about this issue anymore once I decided to go with CCC. I hadn't realized that the parking/commute was stressing me out until I already made the decision to go to CCC because it was cheaper. It's going...

I've cried some tears this morning, but I've officially declined OHSU now. I will mail an acceptance letter to Clackamas Community College today, and decline acceptance to PCC and MHCC. It's time now to focus on the path to nursing via CCC and look f...

BTW, does anyone know if in the PCC and CCC nursing program that you have summers off?

M.Grasshopper--I have given it a lot of thought & talked to many people who have weighed in & I think this morning I am going to make the phone call to OHSU SON and tell them I cannot accept after all. It won't be an easy phone call for me t...

Valerie, the OHSU BSN program is now three years, not two, so whether or not I go to an OCNE cc or OHSU, it would be three years. I won't graduate with an ADN, I would definitely go to OHSU the third year for the BSN. In the end, I will have the sa...

I called financial aid and they told me what they can offer. I will be two years short on tuition as there is a cap on the amount in federal loans you can take out for a bachelor's. I already have a prior bachelor's, which is why I would hit that c...

I know someone who also has not heard. Perhaps alternates have not been notified yet.

Thanks, guys. I find the feedback interesting and helpful. jimithing--I called the nursing dept.

Hey guys, I was accepted to PCC, CCC, MHCC, and OHSU. Since I have a choice, MHCC and PCC are out. I've heard such great things about CCC. Having said that, I accepted OHSU already and sent in a non-refundable deposit. After finding out what OHSU...

OHSU is about 17K per year. 51K is a lot of $$, especially for those of us w/ former degrees and existing student loan debt.

Does anyone know what the program cost is at CCC and PCC?

I'm happy for you jimtithing! Go celebrate--all your hard work has paid off!

I am #7 and declined, so you're actually #37. :)

How many points did you have going into the interview? How do you think you did in the interview?

Jim, did you interview w/ me? I was at 10AM on a Friday. I hope you get an acceptance letter! Also, keep in mind they only interviewed 78 applicants, and accept 40. All other 38 people are automatically an alternate. I really hope you get an ac...

Received an acceptance letter to CCC this afternoon! I will be declining, which is very hard to do, because I am accepting at OHSU. I sure hope funding comes through. It's a little frustrating to have to make a decision before you know what sort o...

I'm an alternate at MHCC, but I already accepted OHSU. Congrats to those of you who got in!

Woah, congratulations! You just got your big envelope today?

I had a 4.0, previous degree, CNA license & several hundred hours of CNA experience, as well as humanitarian volunteer experience working overseas. Last year, several of my prerequisites were in progress and I didn't get in. This year, everythi...

I'm curious what the schedule will be like first term at OHSU . . . how many days a week? I will have childcare issues to work out & am wondering if anyone has any suggestions or advice. That would be great to meet up with some of you before or...

I took Micro fall of 2009 out at PCC/Rock Creek w/ ------- he was awesome! I heard such good things about him from other prospective nursing students that I drove all that way to take it from him. I don't see that he's teaching it summer term, thoug...

KuKu, you were at the MHCC interview also? I don't know if I know which person you were. I wish you the best of luck!

That's awesome! I love how you ran back inside screaming, "I GOT A BIG ENVELOPE!" I was just coming back from the MHCC interview & saw a big envelope jutting out of my mailbox. I wasn't expecting anything from OHSU until early June, so I didn'...
