  1. 883 applicants to PCC!

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in Oregon Nursing

    http://www.barnesjewishcollege.edu/academics/bsn It is all the way in St. Louis, but it is a really great program and they offer a lot of scholarship money through their teaching hospital. I had a...

  2. RCC ADN Fall 2011 Start

    Loloberry replied to darling2014's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I will be starting at RCC this Fall! I am beyond excited and can't wait to start in a few weeks. Have you gotten your scrubs yet or are you waiting until

  3. Moving to St. Louis!

    Loloberry posted a topic in General Nursing

    I will be moving from Oregon to St. Louis to go to BJC and could use some advice! Can anybody give me any recommendations on what neighborhoods to live in or at least ones to avoid? Also I heard a...

  4. Moving to St. Louis!

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in General Nursing

    Thank so much for the info! I have been looking at apartments on google earth and all the neighborhoods look similar to me. I have heard that St. Louis is a great city though and I am getting so...

  5. CNA's - What hours do you work?

    Loloberry replied to VagusX's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I work 7-7 and was lucky enough to get hired on days. I only work three days a week(still full time) and I work every other Saturday with Sundays off. I work in a hospital and I love

  6. I hate my job as a certified nursing assistant and want to quit after two weeks!

    Loloberry replied to DefaLucy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I would say don't give up on a career in healthcare if that is what you want to do! I know that in my heart I want to be a nurse, but when I did my CNA clinicals in LTC I cried everyday and felt like...

  7. Hospital CNA

    Loloberry replied to jhaf07's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Congrats on getting the interview! I work on a medical/cardiac unit but have been floated to the ICU quite a bit. It may not be the same everywhere, but whenever I work in the ICU the only thing I do...

  8. Is anyone getting into nursing programs with a realistic GPA?

    Loloberry replied to Era324's topic in Washington Nursing

    I have a 3.8, a previous bachelors degree, and I work as a CNA in a hospital. I have been waitlisted by every CC I've applied to. It is so completely frustrating, but it does seem easier to get into...

  9. Rogue Community College ?

    Loloberry replied to hawaiidreamin7's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I did want to add that it is a very good program though, and you have guaranteed acceptance into the OHSU BSN program which is ranked #7 nationally I

  10. Rogue Community College ?

    Loloberry replied to hawaiidreamin7's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I would say it is just as hard to get into RCC as it would be in So Cal (born and raised down there and considered nursing school there too). There are only two programs in Southern Oregon, RCC and...

  11. What's the difference?

    Loloberry replied to PUZZLEPIECES's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it depends on what state you live in. I could be wrong, but I think PCT's usually work in hospitals and not so much nursing homes, whereas CNA's work mostly in nursing homes. I live in Oregon...

  12. Goldfarb/Barnes Jewish College of Nursing

    Loloberry replied to badbiznatch's topic in General Nursing

    I'm #53 so I'd like to know too!

  13. 883 applicants to PCC!

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Well good luck to both of you! I hope the right words come to you on essay writing day. I did get an acceptance letter to a BSN program out of state today along with my rejection letter so I'm not...

  14. 883 applicants to PCC!

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hmm. I got my rejection letter and it said there were 883 applicants. 1067 is even

  15. How are second degree students paying for school?

    Loloberry posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am getting frustrated! I filled out my FAFSA and I got a letter in return congratulating me on my bachelors degree, but unfortunately it disqualified me from any aid at the undergraduate level....

  16. Whose going or been to Barnes-Jewish College

    Loloberry replied to MadpeysRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am on the waiting list for Fall 2011, but have guaranteed admission for Spring 2012. Since you seem to be starting before the rest of us would you mind letting the rest of us know how it goes once...

  17. How are second degree students paying for school?

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

    I did look into a few of those programs but was quickly intimidated. I went to an information sessions at Seattle University and it seemed like everyone there had advanced degrees and very impressive...

  18. How are second degree students paying for school?

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

    Thank you for your response! What the healthcare law did was put an end to federally subsidies that were given to banks for the purpose of student loans. I just googled it. The woman at my school must...

  19. ABSN as a single mom?

    Loloberry posted a topic in General Students

    I have been searching for threads on this topic and haven't seen much. I have a previous bachelors degree and really don't want to spend 2+ years getting my BSN, but I also don't know if I can handle...

  20. ABSN as a single mom?

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in General Students

    The long days are what are making me think that I probably don't want to do an accelerated program. If I did though, I would have to move to where the school was well in advance of classes starting...

  21. ABSN as a single mom?

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in General Students

    Thanks mzchas! So moving out of state all by myself may not work out so well? Unfortunately there is only one accelerated program in my state (Oregon Health and Sciences University) and I do not stand...

  22. Applying to GSON 12 months ahead of time?

    Loloberry posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am from Oregon so this waitlist thing is a little foreign to me as the schools out here don't have them. It says on their website that you have to apply for the cohort that starts 12 months from...

  23. Applying to GSON 12 months ahead of time?

    Loloberry replied to Loloberry's topic in General Nursing

    I am applying for Fall. I have all of my pre-req's complete so I am really hoping to get into a program that starts in Fall rather than waiting until Spring. Good luck with the ABSN program! I...
