  1. It's hard for me now!!!!

    pdxmomazon replied to DavidOHSU's topic in Oregon Nursing

    David, I'm really sorry to hear about your Mom. My Mom developed brain cancer when I was in high school. I was an A student with tons of extra curricular/leadership positions and I was in the awful...

  2. No school til 2012, now what?!

    pdxmomazon replied to Lilbit's topic in General Students

    Can you get ahold of your program's course list? I just found out that my BSN program (I start in June) doesn't have a specific pathophysiology course. If I had time, I'd love to take that. Ditto...

    pdxmomazon replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I highly recommend ---- at PCC's Cascade campus. She does an 8 week micro course during the summer and she is enthusiastic, well-versed, and very fair. I LOVED micro after taking it from ----! Nit...

  5. Areas of nursing

    pdxmomazon replied to DreamyEyes's topic in General Students

    That's so funny, IBCLCLittelJon- the reason I DON't want to do do L/D , OB and postpartum is that I have loved my experiences with my daughters and can't imagine working in an environment where birth...

  6. What's it like working on neurology unit?

    pdxmomazon replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Neurological

    RN2B0511- I'm curious to see how things are going for you. I start my accelerated RN program in June and I'm looking into specialties...Neuro is interesting to me. Thanks for any sharing

  7. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    pdxmomazon replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I respectfully disagree. "It is a common misconception that the professor is supposed to "teach" the material to the student via verbal lecture. Instead, it is the professor's job to clarify...

  8. Linfield Summer 2011 FB page

    pdxmomazon posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey everyone. I took a cue from Linfield's Summer 2010 cohort and created a FB page for our cohort. If you are part of the Summer 2011 Cohort at Linfield, please look it up, find it, friend it! It'll...

  10. Linfield Accelerated Summer 2011 Cohort

    pdxmomazon replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks Tasha! I'm going to do that. I'm not the most FB proficient, so if you and anyone else can check it out and make sure it's accessible, I'd appreciate that!

  11. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    pdxmomazon replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Gardenstt- I had a 4.0 for my pre-reqs, but I still had winter and spring (A&P 2 & 3, bio 101 and chem 104, and nutrition) to go when I applied. (And if I have my way I'll still have a 4.0...

  12. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    pdxmomazon replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

  14. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    pdxmomazon replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I had just read Ginnym81's post on Linfield when the mail carrier walked up. No letter today ;-( But hey, that's ok, so long as the carrier brings the *right* acceptance letter to me

  15. Mercy of Toledo...I got in!

    pdxmomazon replied to Java Mama's topic in Ohio Nursing

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! Do you start in the fall or

  16. How does one pay for a School Like Linfield or University of Portland?

    pdxmomazon replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    True, but when I was deciding where to apply, I asked my nurse friends and one of them who I really trust gave me some great advice. She said that if you want to work in a hospital in Portland, having...

  17. Online muscle lecture video for A&P?

    pdxmomazon replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's a University of California Berkley prof named Marian Diamond who has a lot of lectures online. I like her because she actually writes on a chalk board. When you learn about mirror neurons...

  18. Mom Seeking Details of Schedule @ Samuel Merritt ABSN - Oakland -

    pdxmomazon replied to brendalwelch's topic in California Nursing

    Haha ha ha haa! I would like one of those little free leprechauns, too! But I see your point. This is my biggest worry at this point. How to find/pay for childcare/back-up childcare during school....

  19. Freaked out about Micro!

    pdxmomazon replied to staceym's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took micro this summer- so it was a short, intense class. As with every course the instructor you get matters a lot, but I can honestly say it was my favorite class thus far. It is interesting- so...

  20. Opportunity-rural hospital or urban hospital

    pdxmomazon replied to DesiderataRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not an RN (yet;-) ) But I wold never willingly commute 1-2hrs. (I'm assuming you mean each way) Growing up, my father was a teacher, and he/we had a 45minute-1hr commute each way to his/our school. It...

  21. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    pdxmomazon replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You can e-mail them at [email protected]. They got back to me about a question I had asap. Another thing- if you decide to resend your transcripts, package them together and send them with...

  22. Anatomy Class???

    pdxmomazon replied to jballa34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say spend as much time with the bones and models as you possibly can. You need to learn what the markings/muscles look like on the models you'll be tested on. Form a group and quiz each other. I...

  23. School giving me bad reputation...

    pdxmomazon replied to patricianyc's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Unless that person ( and not nec. the OP) deserves it. I don't see why someone should be required to say "nice" things about someone if what they are saying is disingenuous. I hope you are able to...

  24. Am I overdoing it with applying to too many programs?

    pdxmomazon replied to Enthused RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, forgot to mention that I live inPortland, Or, where getting into nursing school is akin to winning the *******

  25. Am I overdoing it with applying to too many programs?

    pdxmomazon replied to Enthused RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dunno. I spoke with the admin dept of our local community college "group" and found out it was unlikely I'd get to the second step based on the fact that my pre-requs were still in progress. Then I...
