I feel horrible because my wonderful puppy dog has to stay inside my apartment for long hours at a time, waiting for me to get home. I don't know how to not feel I am neglecting her while I am in nursing school and trying to work! She's my best frien...
The first term you are on campus the most, but only half days about 3-4 days/ week. Consider this term your adjustment to a whole new learning style! You have plenty to keep you busy so staying up on assignments, projects and reading ahead of time ar...
I am just finishing up my first year of nursing school. I have been copying and pasting every one of my NCLEX quiz and exam questions from every class, with rationales, into file. I thought about converting these questions over to flash cards and usi...
It's funny...I have two different apps on my phone and use them quite a bit too. As the time in nursing school goes on, I have noticed I'm getting a little better each time. Something must be sinking in!
I get so excited for everyone when I read these posts! I was there (or should I say here) last year. I am just finishing up my first year at Clackamas...Love it! Hope to see some of you there. Best of Luck to everyone.

For emmyers...I went to the county health department to get my immunizations. They only cost $15 each for my 2nd mmr and TD. I think they do titers there too. I can get you the number if you need it. And jillane...I actually DID cry. I was accepted ...
I have been accepted into a nursing program starting this Fall (yay!). At orientation, we were all given a Health History and Physical Examination Form to complete- part for us and part for the doctor. I guess my question is this: Could or Would I be...

Hi Gabrianam...tomorrow is the orientation for those who have accepted Clackamas this Fall. And...it is my birthday, lol. But mostly because I have worked my you know what off to get to this point and had to choose between 3 schools...Clackamas won o...

Well, it is official. I just notified Mt. Hood that I am declining my position for the Fall term. Ugh! I still can't believe how difficult it was to do that. I was really torn between CCC and Mt. Hood. But I feel really good about Clackamas. I am sti...

I wanted to let everyone know that I sent in my decline letter for PCC waitlist #18 today, and I am declining my acceptance to MHCC. Here I come Clackamas. I still can't believe how tough of a decision it was. But it will be fun to meet everyone that...

I am 99% sure I will go with Clackamas. I didn't think there would be a quetion about which I would choose (CCC) but I loved my interview with Mt. Hood and everyone there is so nice. I have heard nothing but super nice things about the program and in...

Awww....sadness! I haven't gotten my mail yet, but I feel a bit of disappointment right now. I talked to someone this morning that said letters were mailed out yesterday morning. I wouldn't think it would take more than a day to deliver, ya know? I w...

Well I am hoping that we know soon! Friday seems like forever away, so I am thinking happy thoughts for tomorrow (which still seems forever away, lol). But just for anyone out there on the PCC waitlist, I wanted to let you know that I am giving up my...

Well my fingers are crossed for you! We'll know soon. I sure hope it works out for you. And for me, too. And...anyone else out there biting their nails, stalking the mailman this week!
Lilpoka replied to portland medic's topic in Oregon
So is everyone excited to hear from Clackamas this week? I wish I wasn't so hard on myself about it. I just really feel like I froze on the essay and that it probably hurt my chances...hmmm...hmmm...hmmm.... Did anyone else think it was a little hard...

I think you just have to go into a program with the idea that you are GOING to make it work and become a great nurse. There are always going to be teachers that you don't click with. I know I have had a few along the way in my pre-req's that I didn't...
