emmyers RN

I’m a 34 yo mom of 2 little ones, CCRN RN, have a mortgage to pay, and husband laid off due to COVID19. I also have severe asthma and am on a prednisone burst right now. My state licensing board has addressed this by saying we are required to follo...

The OHSU transition is non-competitive, the bridge program is mostly online as well. Also, as for clinicals, all OCNE programs have the same required clinicals/hours as OHSU; one does not have more than others. The biggest thing when comparing scho...

Christy, Thank you, and now, I did not really have medical experience, I did have a lot of volunteer experience though. I spent a few months in Baton Rouge and New Orleans helping with Katrina recovery, and worked directly with victims; and I was a ...

Hi everyone! Wanted to send my best wishes to you all, I was in your shoes last year and now I am a student at MHCC. If you have any questions about the program/process I'd be happy to help. As for MHCC, I'll say that I love the program and my coho...

Hey, I applied two years in a row, was waitlisted and then accepted each year at MHCC, but I turned down the 1st year in order to take a year off and work to pay off debt so I wouldn't have to work during nursing school. Here are my stats: 3.6 cumu...

@toekneejo I do not know what statistical rates you are referring to (whether say, occupational mortality or disease), I was referring to those gathered by the WHO (which I stated in my post), and I was also referring to those of developed nations......

You are assuming that constitutional rights are equivalent to basic human rights, when that is not necessarily true. You are merely claiming that healthcare is not a constitutional right by claiming it's not in the constitution. The constitution do...

I used to manage an Italian Coffee shop, and as much as I love it, the acidity in coffee gives me heartburn. So now I just take Guarana supplements as needed:)

I don't think it matters what people think of your appearance. In fact, if I'm at the hospital as a pt, I'm probably at my own worst; and I'd rather have McNormal than McDreamy taking care of me any day! The only thing I'd expect in any person in a ...

Nurse Maru, Jadelpn's suggestion is one that takes into account the environment at the least risk to the girl. It is one that will provide an open door for the girl where she may not have one, in which she has the opportunity to develop independence...

Not sure what you are basing your judgment here off of, but that's certainly not true for the majority of those I know who was home-schooled, and I know quite a few people from home-schooled backgrounds. In fact, the only person of my friends I know...

Your friend seems to know very little about nursing as a career if he's asking why they need to go to school. If he's too stubborn to help his daughter seek out a nursing school when the time comes, and it's a family dynamic where the daughter still...

Yes, I do know what it's like, don't judge me according to your own personal conflictions. Don't patronize me. I deleted my side comment questioning your moral development, but I really find it relevant. As human beings, we have a moral obligation...

I think you sound incredibly entitled and are missing the point of what it means to be a nurse. To think of it as just a job is to slap in the face to every nurse who's sacrificed their time and life to take care of others who need them, and this is...

Lilpoka: I got my shots at the co health dept, and was scheduled to get my titers, but they said they were no longer giving them when I showed up. Super bummed! So now I have to look somewhere else.

Is everyone excited to start or what?! Anyone here that is MHCC fall term that is getting excited for the NRS100 course that starts in a week?! I know I am, can't wait to meet everyone, really looking forward to this class! On a side note, I still ...

Yay, Congrats!!!!! So happy for you Jillane, knew you'd get the call! :w00t:

Hey, just wanted a place for those who are MHCC alternates, so we can see how the list is moving, who is going where, and when calls are going out. I'm in the 20s, and pretty confident about the position since they move through about 40 applicants e...

the called me the next morning after the meeting at 9:30am, and with a verbal confirmation, she then sent me the email that required me to confirm in writing via email response.

share13, I'd say pretty good chances! There were about 5 people at mhcc last year who were accepted b/c of people not finishing paperwork/vaccines/drug screen in time. I'd say chances are still favorable that you will get your call!

Offered a spot (and accepted) at MHCC, joining the fall term cohort! :w00t:

I was just offered a spot at MHCC for Fall Term and accepted! I was number 28, good luck everyone!

Awe thanks! That was sweet!

Thanks Niska! Before the meeting, at about 3pm, I called in to find out how the list was moving, and it has moved through 22 spots now! Getting close! Depending on today's turnout, I have a good chance of getting my spot!

Thanks Niska, really appreciate it!
