  1. Anyone starting RN to BSN online in Fall 2014

    NurseToBe3 replied to mugs's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I'm in this class too! I feel like I'm missing something though. I was under the impression that there were actual lectures, not just 10 min worth of short clips. I noticed that there's quite a bit of...

  2. ITT Tech's New Program???

    NurseToBe3 replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    the.truth.ferret- What ITT Tech location did you work at? I have heard plenty of bad things about their school, but the Portland ITT Tech just had 100% pass rate on their NCLEX for summer term...

  3. Interview at Shriner's Hospital

    NurseToBe3 replied to acp0041's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Did you get the job? How much nursing experience do you have? I am almost done with nursing school and my pediatric rotation was at Shriners. It was very different that the larger hospitals! Some days...

  4. Going back to nursing school after having a baby

    NurseToBe3 replied to Ked1986's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain. I found out I was pregnant with kiddo number three right before I started my nursing pre-reqs. I took a term off after having her, but I knew if I didn't start back that I never...

  5. ITT Tech's New Program???

    NurseToBe3 replied to Joyfull77's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I would be careful of where you get your info. ITT Portland hasn't graduated a class yet and wont until September, so your friend will be the first class to graduate. It's going to be hard for a new...

  6. PCC nursing program VS MHCC nursing program

    NurseToBe3 replied to niskagirl's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I am a Mt. Hood student and it definitely has it's pros and cons. Many of the instructors are great, however there are some that are not. We usually have multiple instructors teaching our core class...

  7. Wait Lists in Oregon

    NurseToBe3 replied to Megsincali's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I agree that a 3.4 seems low too, but Linfield looks more at life experience and essays than grades. OCNE schools are all about the points. I have heard of people with high GPA's that didn't get in,...

  8. Wait Lists in Oregon

    NurseToBe3 replied to Megsincali's topic in Oregon Nursing

    What schools in Oregon have a wait list? Once you complete the application and interviews (at most schools) they accept a certain amount and put the rest on wait lists. I think what Meghan is refering...

  9. CNA in OR or WA? What is better?

    NurseToBe3 replied to AnnieBopannie's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Most hospitals want a year of experience. You could work at a nursing home for a year and then apply to hospitals. You also may be able to get on as a hospital tech for legacy. They want you to have a...

  10. CNA in OR or WA? What is better?

    NurseToBe3 replied to AnnieBopannie's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't think your CNA will transfer to Washington from Oregon. And you don't have to take two classes to become a CNA in Oregon. The CNA1 allows you to work in a nursing home and a CNA2 allows you to...

  11. Breckinridge Portland, HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    NurseToBe3 replied to smallen's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Thanks so much for the info!! How far into the program are you? Part of our concern is that they have been a little flakey with returning phone calls and they don't always answer our questions. Do you...

  12. Breckinridge Portland, HESI A2 Entrance Exam

    NurseToBe3 replied to smallen's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    How is the program so far? My husband was accepted there, but we are really nervous and up in the air because of all the bad things we have heard. Are the teachers good? Do you know where the clinical...

  13. Applicants to Portland area schools

    NurseToBe3 replied to portland medic's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good luck guys! I was in the same spot as you last year and I thought the wait was going to kill me! Luckily I survived (and you will too!!) and it was worth it! Just hang in

  14. Wait Lists in Oregon

    NurseToBe3 replied to Megsincali's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Oregon doesn't have waitlists. Admission to our nursing programs is based mostly on grades. They also look at things like CNA experience and some have you write essays. Most of the deadlines are Feb...

  15. Pharm online

    NurseToBe3 replied to aachavez's topic in General Students

    It really depends on the teacher and the style of class. I took pharm online lest term and got an A, but I don't feel like I learned that much. It also depends on how much time and energy you are...

  16. ANY students finishing ITT tech portland Nursing Program

    NurseToBe3 replied to MicheleMA's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Cinthia40- I totally get your frustrations, but I think that's how most programs are. I'm in a RN program at a community college and things are the same for us. The changes are to make us better, not...

  17. Things You Know Now (And Wish You'd Known Then!)

    NurseToBe3 replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    I over estimated my ability to manage time. Just because I was able to work 4-5 days a week, manage my husband and three kids and keep good grade while doing my pre-recs does NOT mean I can do it in...

  18. NCLEX prep book

    NurseToBe3 replied to NurseToBe3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I know it's early, but I want to be really well prepared when the NCLEX comes around. I've heard a lot of people say that one of the bigger challenges is the...

  19. NCLEX prep book

    NurseToBe3 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm in my second term of nursing school and I keep hearing that I should start practicing with a NCLEX prep book. Can anyone recommend a good one that will be useful now or will they be over my head...

  20. Gotta love working in an elementary school!

    NurseToBe3 replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in School

  21. So many questions about CRNA

    NurseToBe3 replied to golf_nurse2b's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm also in nursing school and will be done with my BSN in a little over two years. I have been thinking about doing a CRNA program also, but have a lot of the same questions. I don't know where you...

  22. What are the challenges and rewards of being a Peds Nurse?

    NurseToBe3 replied to karenbaca_91's topic in Pediatric

    Wow! This was really great to read! I have been thinking about going into peds (still in nursing school) and this gives me so much to think about! Very nicely written. Thank you so

  23. How many people did you lose?

    NurseToBe3 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Wow! These people have all lost so many. I have only finished my first term, but we started with 32 people and only lost one (she dropped the second week because she was overwhelmed and decided to go...

  24. pharmacology online class

    NurseToBe3 replied to tfaith09's topic in General Students

    You might do just as well to find a good pharm book and learn from it. It's really more about learning the different categories and side effects than memorizing

  25. pharmacology online class

    NurseToBe3 replied to tfaith09's topic in General Students

    I am in the nursing program at Mt. Hood Community College and I'm taking an online pharm class right now. Generally they want people to be in the program, but I know someone who took it and wasn't in...
