  1. Polio Vaccine

    efda2rn posted a topic in General Students

    I just found out I was never vaccinated for polio. I've had everything else, but this is a required vaccination for my school. This is a long series and I will not be able to complete it by the time...

  2. Polio Vaccine

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    So I went to my doctor's office today, got a single shot of the vaccine and was told that was all I'd need. No series. What really surprised me was the MA said that there was a nation-wide shortage of...

  5. Polio Vaccine

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    I have a complete copy of my childhood medical record and can't find it anywhere. I asked my mother and she says that she was told it wasn't necessary (in 1980) as it had been eradicated in the US...

    efda2rn replied to jc31's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Haha, I agree, @2nd wind, it's hard to keep track of 3 separate threads. No idea how that happened! Maybe we an get an admin to merge them

  7. Fresh Meat

    efda2rn replied to futureRN67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, it would benefit you greatly to speak to a counselor at ASU and at all of the schools in your area. They will have a lot of valuable information for you to help you get on track. Often,...

    efda2rn replied to sarahbrice's topic in Oregon Nursing

  9. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Mine is like the one @Wilsosta received. I only had 50 points going in, so I was surprised I even received an interview! Attending Clackamas would mean a major upheaval and move (we live in Salem), so...

  10. Staying motivated in classes that don't interest you

    efda2rn replied to lakmom12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Ethics this term, as well, and I am also struggling to stay motivated. I am bored to tears. The only thing interesting that has happened is that we took a week to watch "The Watchmen" in...

  11. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Maybe the receipt of the first email is an indication that your name is fairly high on the alternate list. Since they don't tell us an actual place number, that's the only thing I think of that may...

  12. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I haven't tried it yet, but I've heard good things about the Evernote app. If you have it on all your devices it's supposed to sync up. I found a LiveScribe pen and notebooks on eBay that I'm going to...

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Most of the community colleges in OR cost between $13-18K total for their 2 year programs. The RN-BSN bridge year at OHSU costs $16K. At the lowest end, if you go the ADN-BSN route, it will cost...

  18. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    efda2rn replied to alynn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 34 and starting my program this fall. it's a 3 year program, so I won't be finished until I'm 37. I know that will make me a risky first time mother, but we have to wait until I'm close to...

    efda2rn replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Not looking forward to this inevitable day! I plan on taking a change of scrubs with me to every clinical site...Just in

    That is terrible. Hopefully you get some answers

  21. 2014 Applicants

    efda2rn replied to emergenceRN17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @Cwolf1982 Does this school have a policy that states that all applicants who meet the minimum requirements will be invited to the interview? If so, I'd call and ask what happened. Check your bank...

  22. Clackamas Community College (CCC) class of 2016 cohort

    efda2rn replied to alewis513's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU is around $43k total. From what I understand, all the the community colleges are about the same: somewhere between $13k-$17k for the whole program. That third RN-BSN bridge year, though, can be...

  23. What are you doing summer break?

    efda2rn replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    I'm taking an upper division class so I won't have to take it while also doing my nursing classes that start in the fall! There's a plan to go to Canada in there somewhere, as well... I also plan on...

  25. Oregon vs. Florida - insight needed!

    efda2rn replied to newsettler's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I can't answer all your questions, but I can ballpark a few! When you say Oregon, does this mean you are open to areas other than Portland? If you're outdoorsy, I can recommend Bend, OR. Lots of...
