   I did get a call last Tuesday and she was kind enough to answer all my questions. She pretty much admitted too that all students do take the bus. In all fairness, when I went to OHSU yesterday they had a fair amount of bus transportation options avai...

   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 parking sticker (years and years-long waitlist, and I...

   Hello, I am going off tangent here but I just want to ask you how you are planning to commute to OHSU? I visited the campus yesterday and unfortunately parking is a nuisance there. For me to take the bus/max from Beaverton, it will take me a good 80+...

   Hi k1977, I am so glad you chose what is best for yourself.:redpinkhe I have narrowed down my choices between OHSU & CCC as well. Like you, I am so torn! I have talked to so many nurses and even the hiring manager from a hospital and they too don...

   kiwiapple replied to NicoleInHisWill's topic in Oregon

   Al34 I am in the same boat as you. I got in CCC, PCC and OHSU and while me and everybody else want OHSU, the community colleges are much cheaper. Does it really matter though as far as looking for jobs between a student with 3 years in OHSU versus on...

   kiwiapple replied to Ginnym1981's topic in Oregon

   I want to know how much CCC or PCC would cost too. Does anyone know when it comes to applying for nursing jobs how much of an advantage does one get between 3 years of BSN in OHSU versus 2 years in a community college plus the last year for the Bach...

   Hi k1977, I just received your PM and since I am new to this, I can only reply through PM if I already have 15 posts (which I don't have yet:-) Funny how you talked about the financial end of it because I too am in the same boat with you. I was tryi...

    Hello everyone! Congrats to all of us! I hope all of us get in! I too will decline my CCC acceptance because its too far from where I live, although the faculty seemed so nice to me & my fellow interviewees. I got an acceptance letter from OHSU ...
