I have to agree with the previous 2 replies. I graduated from Linfield in Dec 2006. Got a job working on a med/onc floor in Jan 2007. Worked nights for about 14 months, and I felt like a typical new...

Not true. I am in Linfield's accelerated program. I started in June (2005) and will get done in December 2006 (18 months). It is designed for people who already have a bachlor's degree, but they...

I too had been thinking about nursing for awhile...I was working in a clinical setting, loved working with the patients, but hated the the fact that I had no way to advance in my career without...
Congrats! I also got an interview at Clackamas, but declined as I was accepted into another program, and just couldn't bear another rejection! I spoke with a friend who went to Clackamas, and she...
