Fortunately all of the programs in my area allow you to retake classes to get a higher grade. Buttercupp, I think you are correct. I'm just not sure if I want to "waste" my grant money on a degree I'm...
Thanks for the input guys! Two of the universities in my area offer traditional BSN degrees and also accelerated BSN's for those who already have a bachelors. So getting by BS opens a couple more...
I am a diet aide in a large hospital. Patients that I work with are on an MD ordered diet order that they must follow. If the pt. makes a big enough fuss, the RN can override for some items. If the...
I got a B in A&P I and an A in A&P II, BUT I thought 232 was harder! So I made sure to study everyday. There is much more physiology. I bought a small whiteboard and wrote and...
I'm taking just the lab portion of micro this summer, as I took lecture last summer. Today was only the second day and I'm already counting the days until I'm...

You got in the first year you applied and then applied twice again? I work on a unit with nurses from OHSU, PCC, UP and they are all equally great. I personally don't think the prestige of OHSU...
Has anyone done so this year (or years past)?And were you accepted?This obviously isn't my first choice, but I am willing to move if I have to.My advisor said she had a student that was denied at OHSU...

Thanks ltw and hellonewyear! It's kind of comforting knowing I'm not the only one considering making a move. If I don't get it my first year, I will pursue out of state programs. Does anyone...
Did you retake statistics? I have my final Thursday and I really think I'm going to end up with a C (hopefully a B!!) even though I worked my BUTT off. Stats was a tough class for me...
I've heard Clatsop and Rogue are "easier" to get accepted to only because they typically have less applicants than PCC and other Portland-metro schools. Not to say any of these schools are easier to...
It might be worth your while to set up meetings with admissions at those schools to discuss why you were denied. It might be something really easy to fix.The programs are hard to get into but with...
Oh kayruhh..I'm so sorry. I find myself asking "what's the point??" all too often lately and I haven't even applied anywhere yet! These programs are so competitive and although I work my butt off, I...

Thanks for the input guys. Hellonewyear, are there specific states you're looking at? I don't have much to tie me down here in Oregon, but I just don't understand how people can afford to move across...

Wow! I would love to have some crazy- huge spreadsheet of all the accepted students at all the programs. Based on what you said, I would have thought Linfield would've at least wait-listed you...

MissMichelle, thanks for the reply! I actually did not apply for this year because I'm finishing up anatomy. I plan on applying to Linfield, PCC, and OHSU for 2013. Maybe CCC but have not looked into...

I'm looking back at all the prior year threads and freaking out! So many people have 4.0's and 3.9's...I have three or four B's Did anyone that got in this year have any
