I've already ordered mine from ScrubMed in Beaverton (got the 10% discount for being a CCC student). I ordered the Jockey brand. They're super comfortable and fit me very well. Disclaimer: I have a very hard time finding scrubs that fit. I am 5'0...

Hey Everyone. I know for Clackamas CC, we need to purchase a lab coat as part of our uniform. I assume it's the same for the other schools. I just found a great website for lab coats. I was even able to find a 20% off coupon code. I purchased a Dic...

Hey everyone! I've started shopping for some of the supplies we will need. I just found a great website for lab coats. I was even able to find a 20% off coupon code. I was purchased a Dickies lab coat for under $26, including shipping. the website is...

To be honest, I would try to rent a house if you can. Go through a property management company to avoid slum-lords. And they will be able to show you a bunch of properties.

My boyfriend and I live in the Lents/Mt Scott area in Portland. My commute to campus will be less than 3.5 miles. I love our area, the housing is affordable and it's in the midst of a few Urban Renewal projects. Are you looking to buy a house, rent a...

Simplesimle, were you at the orientation last Friday?

That orientation was intense! We have a lot to do before September 30th! I just registered for the classes in the fall. I chose the clinical lab on Tuesday afternoon. Anyone else made a decision yet? BTW, I was the little redhead sitting in the fro...

Nice to "meet" you. I guess we will all see each other at the orientation on June 7th.

Christy24 Welcome to the club; you should join the CCC nursing class of 2015 here. Cheers!

Well, I already sent my decline letter in to PCC. I hope you all get to hear something soon.

Can you give us an idea what to expect? Maybe some information on how much time you're on campus, study time, clinicals, etc. I am excited to hear what my first year will be like. Thanks so much!

I have declined my seat at PCC. I decided to accept a spot at CCC. Good luck to all of those still waiting to hear back on their waitlist status.

I believe that the process is the same for CCC.

My understanding is that they wait until the deadline for people to accept (June 14), and when they've had most of the people accept or decline, they will send out a huge batch of new offers for people on the waitlist.

Why do you think that PCC only had 37 people take the NCLEX last year?

I emailed the nursing department about the clinicals and this is the response I got back. This email was a big part of my decision to choose CCC over PCC.

Here is what I received: First year Fall term -the focus of this term is Foundations of Nursing in regard to Health Promotion so our clinical hours/experiences are developed with that in mind. Students in clinical are promoting the health of ...

You should join the discussion thread Jason31 started for the people who are accepting their spots at CCC, here. Cheers!

I chose CCC for several reasons. For me the school is closer, less expensive, smaller class sizes and newer facilities. I was also interested in the clinical opportunities at each school so I emailed each school. PCC sent me a very short email with v...

Hello All, I will beginning in the fall at Clackamas. My name is Erin, I'm 27 years old with a previous Bachelor degree in Communication and Public Relations from Portland State University (I worked in PR for 4 years before deciding to change care...

Hey everyone! I have decided to decline my spot at PCC in favor of CCC. So, one more spot is opening up at PCC. Good luck everyone.

For CCC, orientation is on June 7 from 1pm to 3pm. PCC told us at the proctored essay that the orientation would be June 19 from 8:30am to noon.

Hi everyone. I have been offered spots at both PCC and CCC. I am trying to decide between the two. I was wondering if anyone out there knows about either schools' clinical sites. On the plus side, someone will be moving up on the alternate list once ...

Well, I'm sure everyone noticed that the email was CC'ed to all applicants, not BCC'ed. So, I counted how many people it was sent to. There were 180 people on the email. So, at most, there will be 100 people on the waitlist. I have also made the call...

I am an alternate, but not in the "highly likely" category. I wonder if anyone has been offered a spot that does not fall into the "highly likely" classification. Thanks in advance!
