    Pdxstudent replied to leehyeri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It may be different from school to school but where I am all the schools just look at your pre-req GPA and any experience you might have. They don't care how many classes you took at one time or how...

    Pdxstudent replied to Kellywon's topic in Oregon Nursing

  12. What do I do

    Pdxstudent replied to MaryEllen17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's ever too late to change careers or change majors. If it's what you truly want to do then I say go for it. It might seem like a scary or risky decision but (not to sound cliche)...

  16. Should I get my CNA license?

    Pdxstudent replied to anga7692's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my opinion, I think it depends on the application process for the program you're interested in and how much having your CNA license holds weight. I was just accepted into a program here and I do...

  18. I got accepted but low on funds
