Hi everyone, I'm just getting ready to start my BSN program, and to be honest it's a little scary in this economy. I've heard horror story after horror story about graduating school and not being...

Hi everyone! I'm just starting my BSN program (and sooooo excited!!) but I have a question about the NCLEX. Ideally, I would like to move out of state as soon as possible after graduation. Within...
Hi Hedgehog, No, you aren't missing anything. I applied to PCC, Linfield, and as a long shot, OHSU Portland campus. I was accepted to the fall cohort at Linfield, and this was originally my first...
Curious Me, Thanks! So, that leads me to my next question. When you need an extra class, do you take it at OHSU, or do you take an online course from a cheaper place (ie PCC)? I firmly decided on...
IvanabeeRN Thanks so much for the info! I love hearing from students in current programs to get an insiders view. I have a question that I hope you can answer. I have been wondering about this for...

Hey Tasha, Thanks for your thoughts! The money is an issue, but as you mentioned, the experience and salary the first year make up for that. At the end of the day, I had to put my family's needs...
You are so funny. That just cracked me up. I saw your reply to my other post, and I appreciate your thoughts. I agree, the cost of Linfield is crazy. Even with scholarships. Graduating a year...
Hi Jessica, I have no advice for you, but I wanted to say CONGRATS Sometimes I think we are all so wrapped up in the anxiety of the process we forget to stop and think about how seriously cool it is...
