    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Lol I wish I had 52! I have 50 at Clackamas. That's basically my 4.0 and having all classes complete. I don't get any discretionary points at all. For me, Clackamas is a long shot. From what I...

  2. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Miss horde, I'm kind of in the same place! I worked as a dental assistant, but have no volunteer and no "direct patient care" experience. And, like you, I have a less-than-stellar school record from...

  7. OHSU ABSN to MN in Nurse-Midwifery 2014

    efda2rn replied to crudy's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Lizbit, I can recommend the University Place Hotel. The accommodations are merely adequate, but it's inexpensive, it's located right downtown and it offers breakfast. One may even be able to navigate...

  8. finding the right schooling

    efda2rn replied to rmayes43's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Unfortunately for you, I believe that all RN programs have a clinical component for skills, which means that you will have to be on campus. I think that there maybe some some part time programs or...

    efda2rn replied to s2bLuluRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Thanks for the calming words, RASKL! My transcript statuses were all updated today and I can now breathe a sigh of relief. Thank goodness the non-accelerated BSN program only looks at prerequisite...

  12. Do BSN programs require a language?

    efda2rn replied to mmcc01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    One in my area requires either one full year of college-level foreign language or 2 years of the same language in high school. This requirement is simply a requirement for graduation, however, and not...

  13. Who is going to ITT Tech Dec start?

    efda2rn replied to christinamuniz's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Shawba, I would recommend confirming this information with each of these schools directly. It would be a shame to spend so much at a for-profit school and not have your classes transfer for...

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

  17. Two questions about associates degree in nursing

    efda2rn replied to Edson12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area, the acute care hospitals will only hire new grads that have their BSN. There are so many other options available outside of the hospital, though, that I would imagine that one should be...

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

    The average cumulative gpa for OHSU's ABSN program is 3.7 or higher. Strive for that as best you can. You have already generated the kind of experience they will be looking for when it comes time for...

  21. My Application Essay

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

    First of all, I might skip around a bit and I will look at this purely from a grammatical point of view. The first sentence I quoted seems as if it is either missing something, or like it is two...

  22. Where do you all get textbooks from

    efda2rn replied to maj0079's topic in General Students

    I happen to live in the headquarters city for bookbyte.com, so they have an awesome option to pick up at their office and avoid shipping costs, entirely. I use them whenever I can and use Amazon and...

    efda2rn replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi, RASKL! The discretionary points to which I was referring are the "extra" points awarded by the OCNE community colleges for being a CNA, LPN, EMT, etc., having a previous degree, and the like. I...

  25. Chemistry has been my hardest prereq!

    efda2rn replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Without a doubt, Chemistry was the most difficult prerequisite I had to take. Some programs in my area require a full year of Chemistry, so that is what I did. I may have nightmares for the rest of my...
