  5. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I feel ok about it. It's my second-choice school for financial reasons. My calm comes from the knowledge that, at this point, I've done all I can do and I know that I have a 50-50 shot (64...

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Taralarson, I was there on Monday, as well, at 3:00. It was a beautiful, but really warm day...add in the nerves and suit jacket and I was ready to boil! I heard back from CCC...no points for...

  8. Oregon Health and Science University 2014 cohort

    efda2rn replied to TtotheAna's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The only thing I can think of is to suggest becoming a CNA and/or volunteering. Utilize the writing center at your school to go over your essays... My cumulative is weaker than yours, so I feel your...

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Congrats, lifeisgood1! 2nd wind, I have my essay at Chemeketa on the 12th at 10:00, I think. What time will you be at OHSU on Monday? My interview is scheduled at

  10. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Way more competitive than mine! All I have are the points awarded for grades: 51/66. They gave me an extra point for prior degree, but as I have never had a prior degree I emailed them back....

  11. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I got my points calculation from CCC, as well! One more than I was expecting, but still pretty darn low. Oh well. Does anyone know how OHSU decided which people would interview on specific days? So...

  12. Any Schools still taking BSN applications?

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

    Depends on where you're looking. It's hard to say without any geographical indicators. I think that George Fox in Oregon is still taking

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Last year, CCC sent out points confirmation emails on a Fri, so I am trying to avoid any finger- gnawing until this Fri.

  15. Moving to OR, what ER to work at?

    efda2rn replied to NurseVoldemort's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Don't assume that OHSU will be an easier commute! OHSU is on Marquam Hill and , from what I understand, there is currently a long waitlist for the very expensive parking garage. Most employees and...

  16. Nursing School

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

    If you are planning on transferring schools anyway, then it makes no financial sense to attend a four-year university for your general ed and prerequisites. Research the programs to which you are...

  17. No matter how stressful tests are, DO NOT do this!

    efda2rn posted a topic in General Students

    This article is a few years old, but I stumbled across it just the other day. An Oregon nursing student wasn't prepared for her test so she called in a threat to the school. TWICE....

  18. No matter how stressful tests are, DO NOT do this!

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in General Students

    I just can't believe that she did it TWICE!! "Well I got away with it that first time so let's try it again a couple weeks later!" Thank goodness she was caught. I shudder to think about the...

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Just a little "pick me up" for the OHSU-PDX applicants: I went to their info session last summer and they announced that they received a grant enabling them to increase their 3 year BSN cohort from 24...

  23. Cadaver Work

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

    My CC has 4 cadavers right now. There is even a class for the dissection of the cadavers. I believe they go back to the local prominent teaching university after a year, but then, I believe we get...

  24. 2014 Applicants

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

  25. Oregon Health and Science University 2014 cohort

    efda2rn replied to TtotheAna's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It all depends on where you're applying. If you applied to the Portland OHSU campus, you should be able to find something within that range. That is, if you're looking for an apartment. If you need a...
