I have been a nurse for 3 years but I worked in an outpatient hematology oncology setting straight out of nursing school and remained there for the past 3 years. I felt confident and loved doing what I was doing but recently moved out of state and ha...

I know there is a lot of anxiety with the essay questions but we are not able to share the questions asked. My biggest tip would be to google nursing school essay questions and just practice as many as you can.

Well this is my last weekend of being the pre-nursing student version of me. My nursing program starts in 2 days and im mostly excited but a part of me is freaking out. I have all of my supplies and books and feel as prepared as I can but of course I...

That's a crazy amount of student loan debt to have not mention adding to it! I am also a second degree student and I had the option to go to a well known university which would have cost an arm and a leg so I chose a local community college program a...

I just have to say that I haven't even started my program yet but I don't find your story to be funny or "redic" at all. This is a professional program and should be treated as such. Even if you have an inside joke with one professor you shouldn't as...

I was going to add too that you should check with ohsu to be sure in case anything changed since last year.

No, letters of recommendation are not required for the undergrad program. In fact I was told last year that they won't even look at them if you submit them with your application.

As a requirement for my nursing program we were given a list of everything that had to be uploaded to a particular website. This wasn't sprung on us and it didn't catch me by surprise. I was fully aware that we needed to have our vaccination records ...

Well it sounds like you have a great shot at getting in! I felt like my proctored essay went well. Once we started the time flew by so fast! I would suggest maybe when the time gets closer to practice typing out some mock essay questions and also rea...

I'm starting the program this Fall. :) I'm excited to get started. I took all of my pre-reqs at PCC too. I hope you're able to get your question answered from OHSU. I feel fortunate that I won't have many other classes to take and can focus on the nu...

I received the invite on FB for the mentor group page but does anyone know if a group page was started just for the class of 2018? Just curious! Thanks!

Hi there, I would suggest contacting OHSU to find out if there are any restrictions or anything like that for the upper division classes. I actually need to do the same thing. I'm starting at PCC this fall and might also need a few more upper divisi...

Well I haven't started yet...I start my program next month...but I'm in the same boat. My husband will be working full time and my kids are busy with their schedules and I won't have time to make a fresh hot meal every night. I found some great idea...

I'm going with a rolling backpack for a couple of reasons. First of all I can't study at home when my husband and kids are around so I plan on spending most of my time on campus studying. Secondly, and this is just a personal preference, but I like t...

I recently purchased the Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 14 and I love it so far. I was debating between that and a MacBook Air but the Lenovo was a little cheaper and came with more storage space. I also love that I can fold it any way I want so it can be used...

I also went with a Blue Sky planner from target and I think it's great so far! I actually really wanted an Erin Condren life planner and that was on my wish list of supplies for school but I just couldn't get past the price. The one I found at target...

I thought I had my mind made up on another program but I was called off the alternate list for OHSU and am now seriously debating. One of my concerns with OHSU though is the transportation. I don't want to fight for a spot to park up on the hill and ...

I will be starting my BSN program this fall and this will be my second degree. I already have the majority of the credits needed for my second bachelors except for a foreign language. I plan on fulfilling these credits during the summer months and I'...

Well I haven't started my program yet but I did buy the High Sierra XBT wheeled backpack. I will be taking a bus and doing some walking to get to campus and I'd rather save my back! I love the size and the number of pockets and the laptop space. It c...

I'm not sure where you are but im in Oregon and my whole family qualified for the Oregon Health Plan. Maybe you have something similar where you are? It's income based and my husband is only working part time right now and I'm currently not working (...

Well I mailed in my deposit yesterday!! I'm confident I can figure out the best way to get there and back. I'll just have to wait and see what kind of aid package they can put together for me. I'm still holding my spot in the other program I got into...

I would be coming from Lake Oswego. I think my best route would be taking the #35 bus to the tram and then take the tram up. I was thinking about testing it out one day as well and taking my oldest son with me because he would love it, haha. I haven'...

Thank you for your response! I actually planned it all out on trimet's website and looked at some different routes and I think I have a pretty good idea of what would work for me. Transportation and cost are the only things holding me back but I'm ho...

You might try looking online for students selling their old books for cheap. I was lucky enough to find most of my books on Craigslist for 1/4 of the cost. Just an option. :)

I think it depends on what kind of learner you are and what you would benefit from the most. For me personally I like to have the actual book so I can easily flip around when and where I need to...plus I like to highlight like crazy. Even though it c...
