    yogamom replied to ArtOHSU's topic in Oregon Nursing

    yogamom posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    yogamom replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You're welcome! It sounds like you're in a really good position right now! Nothing to do now but cross your fingers and wait (so much easier said than done). As far as acceptance goes, it varies...

  5. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    yogamom replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

  6. Pre-Req tips and strategies for UP, OHSU, Linfield

    yogamom replied to KP503's topic in Oregon Nursing

  7. Pre-Req tips and strategies for UP, OHSU, Linfield

    yogamom replied to KP503's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You can absolutely retake Nutrition and Human Development again and have them override the previous grades. In fact, it's highly recommended that you do so. As far as financial aid and if they will...

  8. Pre-Req tips and strategies for UP, OHSU, Linfield

    yogamom replied to KP503's topic in Oregon Nursing

  10. Pre-Req tips and strategies for UP, OHSU, Linfield

    yogamom replied to KP503's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You are not alone! It's very nerve wracking when you are just starting to tackle the pre-reqs and application process. A&P is hugely important, make sure you get all A's. Your GPA is paramount...

  11. Please help

    yogamom replied to AnonymousNurse45's topic in Oregon Nursing

    They denied you for a personal loan or an alternative student loan? They have very different approval rates. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!! It's my understanding that even with very poor...

  12. Please help

    yogamom replied to AnonymousNurse45's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Weird...the link isn't showing up. Go the wells fargo website, click student loans, then "professional students" to find info on the MedCap loan. Good

  13. Please help

    yogamom replied to AnonymousNurse45's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Lisa! Congrats on your acceptance! When you applied for the loans, were you trying to just get standard personal loans? Personal loans are more difficult to get. Students loans (also known as...

  18. PCC RN school schedule??

  19. Is Insurance required for Nursing Schools?

    yogamom replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

    All three of nursing schools I applied to require health insurance (PCC, Linfield, OHSU). The cost is factored into the tuition. When you look at the tuition per term or semester, it's already in...

  20. PCC RN school schedule??

    yogamom replied to JWnurse2b's topic in Oregon Nursing

  23. Am I crazy?

    yogamom posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    I am fortunate enough to have been accepted at Linfield (fall cohort) as well as OHSU. This decision is making me a lunatic!! I have felt for a long time that Linfield is my school of choice. I...
