Hey I think this is fair but I will add that ALL my prerequisite science courses at Sylvania were incredible - better than most of my previous university experiences. Students in the science classes were very serious and teaching caliber was very hi...

To toss a little gas on the fire here but it is pretty ugly:eek: and this thread could use a little humor along with all the support and really useful info people are sharing. Hang in there everyone!!!

I'm still 98% sure I will end up at OHSU but before I had that option I was really hoping that CCC would come through it did and it is still something I'm considering- but more to your question, I think MHCC has a fine program and I don't think I ha...

I'm so glad you made this post - I'm in a very similar situation. Accepted to the same schools decided on OHSU but the money issue is now very real and I am now vacillating a bit between OHSU and CCC (will decline PCC and MHCC). In addition to the m...

Yep will start the process this weekend - My friends actually call me "grasshopper". Will see if you can figure it out. Looking forward to meeting you all as well. Have a great summer!

Not to worry - I'll be happy to do that for you.

I did my prerequisites at PCC and will finish my CNA a Clackamas (CCC) tomorrow morning. So here are my 2 cents. First the facilities at CCC are the best in town beautiful new building and labs. Two of my CNA instructors teach in the RN program an...

SWEEEEEET! Congrats!

if you are really undecided - that is a great "dilemma" to have. grab your favorite beverage and start pondering the oh so wonderful options. nice work!!!!!

I have started to reply to this question a couple of times and find it really hard to layout my personal stats - so I'll try to answer by giving my strategy and a little background - I hope it helps. First, the obvious, you have to have really stron...

I heard this as well via the grapevine. Last year they had 32 BSN spots (8 per clinical instructor) at the PORTLAND campus. Apparently because of state funding budget cuts they lost one clinical instructor and thus the 24 number (again only at the ...

Couldn't agree more. Particularly the grateful part.

Mugged the postman, jumped up and down with big envelope and wife, couldn't sleep, and can't stop smiling - OHSU it is! Still not sure how and why but I'm running with it. I have always believed that those who win a nursing golden ticket deserve ...

Hang in there. Monday could very well bring good news.

Congrats to all!!!!!! - I will now be stalking my postman

I think its OK to let you know that its handwriting and you will be able to reference what you have written. Good luck!

I'm curious what others think as well. I keep telling myself I would be happy with any option (knock on wood, spin around three times, rub on that lucky rabbits foot) but having a choice would be great. Like many of you I have applied to OHSU, PCC,...

Count me in as well for MHCC interview! with 58 or 59 pts. Good luck to all

You nailed it - my better half sits on two local admission boards for another health care related profession and we talk about this a lot. No matter how structured a review points rubric may be, there is always the subjectivity of the reader and the...

Probably does help sort this stuff out to note the points - I have 61 going into the interview I'm guessing thats just about in the middle of the range (mean) but its just a wild guess. Hang in there everyone -

Just got my letter for CCC but have not heard from MHC. Thought I would chime in case you're waiting to hear from CCC. Best of luck to all.

I have been stalking the last couple of weeks and wanted to thank those who have made phone calls and updated. Like many of you I'm waiting on OHSU, CCC, and MHCC. Didn't think it would get to me but starting to check the mail every day as soon as ...
