  1. Back to school for nursing

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

    I guess it really depends on the programs in your area. Around here, your GPA just wouldn't cut it if you wanted to get into an accelerated program (or any program..it's really competitive here!)....

  2. Has anyone taken 3 sciences at the same time?

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

    Unless you absolutely have to, I wouldn't. It's not good for your mental health, or your retention of the material. Take chem and maybe A&P I before micro if you can. Micro is doable without, but...

  3. What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    pdxmomazon replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I stil vote for a

  4. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    pdxmomazon replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm putting all my eggs in the Linfield basket... If I don't get in I'll try for U of P next year and maybe Concordia, if I decide I'm willing to go through CNA

  5. What is the job market like in OR?

    pdxmomazon replied to marie010's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Does it matter how/where you got your BSN, in your experience? I have a friend who is a BSN working in a local hospital. She graduated from a top-ranked BSN program a few years ago and got a (GREAT!)...

  7. can going to the hospital make you sicker??

    pdxmomazon replied to lovescapeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet But it seems like for this gentleman, going to the hospital was inevitable. If he had shoulder pain from falls, he was bound to end up at some hospital. The cascade of events...

    pdxmomazon replied to marie010's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Lovemybugs- that is so

  9. Don't move to Oregon if you're a new grad

    pdxmomazon replied to JulieB71's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm hoping that if I get in the economy will turn around and hospitals that are understaffed will have the funds to start hiring to fill their nursing shortages that we so often hear about. Either...

  10. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    pdxmomazon replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Is anyone interested in sharing what they shared via their insight resume? I found it a bit redundant, but gave me a few opportunities to talk about things I've done. What it didn't leave much room...

  11. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    pdxmomazon replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd say A&P is harder. Micro was fascinating! I hate rote memorization, which seems to be the crux of

  12. Who is applying for Linfield this go around?

    pdxmomazon replied to saribeari's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm applying to Linfield's accelerated BSN program. Hope I get in and then figure out how to pay for it :) I agree about the Nursingcas system. Blarg. I want to be consistent, but seriuously, was a...

  13. So frustrated and sad..

    pdxmomazon posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got my first F on a quiz EVER (in my AP 1, I have my BS and a great GPA from that.) I attended two labs (my own and my lecture prof's, which was vastly better.) I spent 3+ extra hours in the...

  14. So frustrated and sad..

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

    Of course I can't tell you what schools will and won't accept- I'm not an admissions counselor for a nursing program. However, I can tell you that in Portland, at this time, admissions to nursing...

  15. So frustrated and sad..

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

    Hey jngo, thanks for the props. That was really nice of you and I appreciate it. It helped me gain a little perspective. I went to my lecture prof''s lab again today. I let him know about the entire...

  16. So frustrated and sad..

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

    I'm in Portland, Oregon. No schools around here will even look at you if you don't have As in A&P. It's super competitive, but we own our home and my partner has a decent job, so I have to stay in...

  17. No longer confused...

  18. Anyone buy their own anatomy models?

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

    Thanks for all your replies. I have taken my camera in to take photos of our models. Some of them are missing their keys, though. What a pain! I really want to have models of the bones so I can feel...

  19. Anyone buy their own anatomy models?

    pdxmomazon posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey there! I'm currently in A&P 1 and (hopefully) will finish all three sections this year. I am getting an A, but barely. I work, have young kids yadda yadda yadda, so I'm not able to make it to...

  20. Pre-Nursing Classes

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

    A&P has been my biggest academic challenge ever- and I have a BS with a 3.86 GPA! I wouldn't pair A&P with another science course if you could help
