  2. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    You bet!! I feel like I've been through all the options possible to get there myself! I just didn't want anyone to rule out OHSU without giving the bus a shot and realizing it's really not so bad....

  3. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    We'll be classmates, too! :) The ADP building is just 10 minutes on the 8 from OHSU, fyi. Not too bad.

  4. Nursing interview questions?

  6. The Money Pit

    jimithing112 replied to prospectivepville's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm assuming you've filed your FAFSA and talked with the financial aid office, too. This is stressful, but keep your head

  7. Nursing interview questions?

    jimithing112 replied to lemonbug's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My interview questions were nothing about me (tell us about yourself, why would you be a good nurse, etc.) and everything about thinking on your feet (you're walking by the med room and you see a...

  8. Does it matter: Community College or University

    jimithing112 replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A lot of CCs (at least in Oregon and Washington) team up with local universities to offer an additional year of classes and the option to go on for your BSN. I'll be entering an ADN program this...

  9. One last (and quick) question about my application...

    jimithing112 replied to ICUchick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely put it all down. They're looking for community involvement, not necessarily just nursing experience. Good

  10. What are my chances?

    jimithing112 replied to Rizabees's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is different -- you'll have to do some research at schools you want to apply to and find their requirements. Definitely DO kick butt at classes you have to take now, though. If you...

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I realize it's a factor in decision-making. I just wanted to let everyone know that there are lots of transportation options that aren't as bad as they

  12. How many people here HAVE NOT become CNA certified before applying to Nursing school?

    jimithing112 replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have my CNA. I applied to 4 schools, got into 1. I do have direct patient care experience, though, through jobs in physical therapy and as an exercise physiologist, which I did get 3 (of...

  13. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I know it sounds ridiculous but unfortunately, it can contribute to my decision making (other than costs, etc). Despite the fact that I am very pleased to be accepted at OHSU, as a student I am very...

  14. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Employees and students ride the tram for free with their OHSU ID. OHSU also offers *heavily* subsidized Trimet (and C-Tran, although I don't know the pricing) passes, as a little sticker on your ID...

  15. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If this is your only reason for not choosing OHSU...oy. I think it's safe to say that most students at OHSU and many employees take public transportation. As a student, you'll likely never get a...

  20. tips for nursing school interview? anyone?

    jimithing112 replied to northmississippi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I interviewed for nursing school a few weeks ago and got in (yay!) but none of the questions asked were like those in previous posts. Mine were all about thinking on your feet, diversity,...

  21. Applicants to Portland area schools 2011

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I wasn't at all referring to the value of the program or campus; that's just my personal opinion of why I don't like that

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    From what I've heard, it hasn't been so much that MHCC isn't good but that they were more impressed with CCC than MHCC and PCC. I didn't interview at MHCC or PCC though, so I don't know much about...

    jimithing112 replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon Nursing

    1977, I'm glad you made the right decision for you, too. Also I'm pumped to have some classmates who got into OHSU! Study buddies? *wink wink, nudge
