  5. First Day of Nursing School Tomorrow

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It's going well! They definitely threw us in head first! We have already learned SOOO much more than I thought we would in the first term! It's pretty exciting how fast it moves. It's also a lot more...

  6. Should I gain experience or money?

    NurseToBe3 replied to Dre2416's topic in General Students

    That's where I'm at right now! I work as a waitress and I really thought hard about weather I wanted the experience or the money. I decided to stick with my serving job for now. I'm a month into my...

  7. ITT Tech Portland OR, Any ideas

    NurseToBe3 replied to AmyORlpn's topic in LPN to RN

    ITT tech isn't OSBN accredited here yet. They wont be untill after their first class graduates in 2012. I'm not at all saying that they wont get accredited, but it's a definitely something to think...

    NurseToBe3 replied to Heart 2 serve's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't know specifically about RN wages, but I had a friend get hired as a brand new LPN grad at a LTC facility and she started at $20 with no experience. An RN position should be considerably...

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm so nervous too! I've heard so many stories about nursing school nightmares! Hopefully everything will go great! I feel like I've been working forever to get to this point! Can't wait to dig in!...

  11. How did you study/prepare for lectures?

    NurseToBe3 replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Students

    One of my teachers told us forever ago that the more senses you stimulate while you study, the better you will retain the info. He swore by pacing along with playing with one of those spikey rubber...

  12. Looking into ALL nursing schools..Advice, please?

    NurseToBe3 replied to FumblingThrough's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I've heard PCC is crazy competitive! MHCC was competitive, but not as bad. My GPA was about what yours is. I did have my CNA and a few discretionary points. They interviewed people down to (I think)...

  13. LPN to RN Programs in the Portland area?

    NurseToBe3 replied to jamie1990's topic in Oregon Nursing

    MHCC has a TON of hoops to jump through (once they actually begin offering the program). The only other one I know of is Walla Walla's Portland campus, but they are more expensive (less hoops though)....

  14. Mt Hood LPN program

    NurseToBe3 replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good luck today! Sorry!!! I was mixing up MHCC's numbers with Clarks. Last year people got accepted down to 33 points (not 43). That means you would have a REALLY good shot!!! They have so many less...

  15. Mt Hood LPN program

    NurseToBe3 replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If you are planning to bridge later, make sure you check out your options now. The sciences and math have an expiration date (I think 7 years). MHCC has info about their bridge program on the website,...

  16. Mt Hood LPN program

    NurseToBe3 replied to abree0323's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Last year they didn't have enough applicants to fill the positions in the program. Everyone eems to be forgetting about the LPN program and going straight for the RN program. I have a friend that was...

  17. MHCC Orientation

    NurseToBe3 posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    I know this is a silly question, but do we need to dress super nice for this? I will be getting home from camping a few hours before and I was hoping for jeans and a nice shirt. I knew we needed to...

  18. MHCC Orientation

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I almost did mine too since it would be read after the first. I got a couple other immunizations that day and they said I had to wait 4-6 weeks before doing my TB test. Now I plan to get it done the...

  19. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    NurseToBe3 replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ewww... This guys is gross! His picture alone is repulsive, not to mention his behavior. I wouldn't want to deal with a guy like

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yup! They said street clothes are fine. We don't need scrubs till our first day of lab

  21. MHCC Orientation

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm a little worried too! Especially about everything that has to be done in August! How official do you think our immunization records need to be? I'm wondering if a print out will do the job or if...

  23. Alternates to MHCC

    NurseToBe3 replied to nursingstudent1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    School doesn't start for 3 months! Don't worry yet! I know it stinks waiting, but three months is a LONG time for people to change their minds. Besides, think about how many people that probably...

  24. Accepted as an ALTERNATE!!! Should I be excited?

    NurseToBe3 replied to Goldskinned_Nurse's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't know how the LPN to RN programs work, but my RN program went through all but three people on the waitlist last year (and they have a wait list of 45). So to me being in the top ten sounds...

  25. Is there anyone else feeling really frustrated?

    NurseToBe3 replied to TNTD2011's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It really just depends on what you have. I have a 3.65ish and I got into Mt. Hood, but i also had quite a few discretionary points. I have also known people to get into Linfield with a 3.4 as they...
