Congrats to you all on your acceptance!! Be prepared to "hold on" once you start in December. This train moves fast, but I think it's well worth it in the end. Portland is a nice area and has lots...

Its not scary here. In fact Portland is our biggest city and you will probably think its tiny compared to other places. If your visiting in November I recommend you bring some warm clothing. Its...

SON - I finally have some news. I was told that a prereq class was greater than 5 years old. Just over 5 years actually. I am in the process of having the time requirement waived for admission....

That sounds like it will be a small class to the advantage of the students and professors. More individual interaction with professors/instructors if needed. It sounds as though its going to be a...

I have already submitted a FAFSA so I am just waiting to hear if I am accepted. Ugh!! Did you get your financial aid packet as well with your acceptance
Med Research11 replied to Med Research11's topic in General Nursing
I am also hoping to find some scholarship money if available. Though I am not sure how that works with second degrees either. Hopefully it is available!! I think the deposit also goes toward...

I am sure there will be some other people in the same boat as you. Maybe not from the West coast but some will be from out of state knowing nobody. You will meet your classmates and make many...

School on the West coast?? That sounds like it would have been great. I am unsure of the class size and when I last asked about that it was all undecided or at least thats what I was told. I would...

Thanks for the support!! My undergrad was in the life sciences. What about you? Where did you do your first bachelors? Your major? I thought that maybe more people would have responded to this...
Med Research11 replied to Med Research11's topic in General Nursing
I dont know much about the program because it is new. UNE up until this year has always been an ADN program the first two years and then students could complete a bachelors in evenings while working...
