    edcampbe replied to tofutti's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi Tofutti, I am almost done with my second semester in the nursing program at U of P, and I am also a Prov. scholar. The scholarship is 75% paid by Providence and 25% paid (grant money) by U of P. In...

  2. Portland new grad RN oversaturation?

    edcampbe replied to smilin_gp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm suprised to hear you two say you didn't feel welcomed by Providence Health System. I've heard nothing but good things from the system, and several of my friends (graduating from nursing school in...

  3. OHSU CRNA Program

    edcampbe replied to smilin_gp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm also glad to see this program finally materialize. They are only accepting 10 students for the first cohort, but hopefully they'll expand in the near future. Either way, I think this will be an...

  4. Trying to decide what to do.

    edcampbe replied to Vancouvergirl's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi there, If I were you I would go the LPN route. I think you'll make slightly more money as an LPN, and you could always advance to an RN down the road if you wanted. The decision really depends on...

  5. Burning Question????

    edcampbe replied to sweetd's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Anymore, both degress take nearly four years to complete if you count the prerequisites. If you have the resources (time and money) to attend a BSN program, then go for it. A BSN will open the door...

  6. Burning Question????

    edcampbe replied to sweetd's topic in Oregon Nursing

    RNs with either an ADN or BSN can work in L&D. L&D is a specialty, so sometimes you need gereral experience (med/surg) prior to cross-training to L&D. This isn't always the case, because...

    edcampbe posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    I'm curious to know if any of you have a permanent part-time or full-time job and work for an agency a few times a month? If so, how does it work out for you? Are you able to pick-and-choose which...

  10. Portland new grad RN oversaturation?

    edcampbe replied to smilin_gp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I don't believe there is an over saturation in the Portland area. In fact, all of my friends who graduated last year are now gainfully employed. Out of curiosity, which school are you graduating from?...

    edcampbe replied to bowkerj's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi bowkerj, My wife and I went through the whole process last year. Maybe this will be some encouragement... My wife applied to 3 BSN programs in 2004 and was not accepted to any of them. In 2005...

  16. Anyone have any information on Concordia's program?

    edcampbe replied to adriennenicoll's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU's graduate program is in the top 10 in the nation, not their undergraduate program. I researched schools and decided University of Portland was the best fit for me. We just became the largest...

  21. Should BSNs be paid more?

    edcampbe posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know ADNs and BSNs both sit for the same NCLEX exam, both have approximately four years of education, and at best have negligible differences (over time) in their nursing skills. BSNs take courses...

  22. Do you work overtime?

    edcampbe posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious to know how much overtime you work per pay period (two weeks)? How much overtime is spent completing charting? Are you able to sign up for extra shifts? If so, how does your hospital /...

    edcampbe replied to edcampbe's topic in General Nursing

    A BSN takes 4 years of undergraduate course work. Typically, an ADN takes 2 years of pre-requisites and 2 years of nursing course work. That is where I came up with the same amount of time. My...
