Hi all, I thought I would answer some of your questions. I have lived in Portland my entire life, and have worked in health care in some sort of fashion for 7 years. I would like to point out knowing a manager or having a friend working in a hospita...

Hi, I haven't heard much activity from current MHCC nursing students on allnurses. I was wondering how do you like the program? Do you have the same number of students in your cohort you started with? Do you feel supported by the instructors? Kno...

For me, it is such an honor to be able to provide comfort and pain management for the patient at EOL. I am relieved and usually happy for them once they pass. Especially the little ladies that say outright they want to go because no one is left. It m...

Unfortunately the market is being saturated with two year RN’s that are now being used in the LTC facilities instead of LPN’s. The hospitals are requiring BSN’s by the year 2018, so many associate RN’s are not being hired into the hospital systems a...

Hi, I think it takes a huge amount of courage to admit to yourself that something feels wrong. If you are feeling like this isn’t the area for you….then by all means listen to your inner voice. I don’t have any experience as an RN, but I have worked ...

Hi Glenna, Actually I didn't get into a bridge program. I applied for RN schools in the area and was accepted into MHCC RN program. Most of the bridge programs I talked to weren't a sure thing. I would have had to wait and see if a spot opened up ...

emmeyers, So stoked for you!!! Pretty awesome that you stuck it out for the school you wanted! Meals, Don't give up hope, try and get all your vaccinations done and your CPR stuff done before the August deadline just in case they call.....you never ...

emmeyers,I have been thinking about you, and really hope you get a spot!

hi emmyers, your correct orientation is tuesday june 26th, 6-9pm on the main campus in room ac1710. have a good night!

Hi, Anyone willing to share when Clark sent out nursing program acceptance letters for past April 1st deadlines? Has anyone called Clark to see when letters would be sent out? Just curious if it would be this week.....:) Thank you!!!

Well I received my letter today....not accepted...denied! Still excited for you Sushi, and everyone else who got accepted into Clark this round! MHCC was just meant to be I guess:lol2:

How freakin awesome is that?! Nice! I'm really excited for you! Tough choice, I have heard so many wonderful things about Clark. I mean obviously it isn't perfect(I hear it is close), but it is a very respected program. Like you I haven't heard m...

Thanks Sushi!! Your probably right about Clark sending out acceptances by the end of the week. This is the last letter I am waiting on. I can't wait to longer care about what is in the mail! I think if I've read your other post correctly you have...

Hi, I am not sure if you’re still thinking about going to a community college vs trade school, but I thought I would offer a different mindset. I graduated from MHCC LPN program in 2011. Most of the LPN to RN programs (Lower Columbia, Walla Walla U...

Hey nursesarak, I remember before the essay started one of the instructors gave some information. I believe the orientation was going to be held in the PAC building, this is the large white glass building between the Library and CT building. It was ...

Hey, just wanted to confirm my wait list letter for PCC was not personalized. The form to be returned to Sylvania's campus had lines for name, G#, date, and wait list number. Mailed my decline yesterday, and I'm assuming the accepted students had a...

Congratulations to everyone who has made it into a program so far!!! To those who haven't don't give up hope yet... many students will decline spots in programs or wait lists! I have my fingers crossed for everyone! I am wait listed for PCC: number ...

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response! I really appreciate it. I don't think your a grouchy student at all. I think many students are used to being organized due to the pressure of getting top grades in their pre reqs, and basically being ...

Hey everyone! I have been creepin on this forum for a grip. Good luck to everyone! We have all worked extremely hard to get here, and it didn't happen over night. I'm driving everyone in my life (including my eight year old daughter) bonkers waitin...

Hi, I am new commentng on all nurses, but have been reading all year during school. I wanted to let you all know I took my PN-NCLEX friday 4/15, did the PVT an hour after I took the test, got the good pop-up, and today I checked quick results from p...
