Hi all, This is my first post, and I have a few questions, so bear with me! First, I am a 26 year old single mom, and I will be applying to both OHSU Ashland and RCC for Fall 2014 entry. I'm curious...

I was under the impression that if you were on the alternate list, they would indicate your likelihood of being accepted (i.e. "highly likely", etc) in the letter. They won't tell you your number on...

I've heard great things about RCC. One of the RNs at the facility I did clinicals at just graduated in June and had nothing but positive things to say. She and some of her classmates are completing...

I think I would prefer OHSU as well, but I'll just be happy to get in anywhere! I will pursue a bachelors, but plan on going on to grad school eventually. I'm in the CNA program at RCC right now and...

I just assumed it would be late March/early April before we heard anything. This term has been really hectic, which is nice in the sense that it has kept me somewhat distracted from this whole waiting...

Here's what I received: "This is to verify that your 2014 Nursing Program Application for Fall Entry was received prior to the 5 PM, February 15, 2014 deadline. We are currently processing the...

In the confirmation email I received from RCC after my application was received, it said we should be contacted by April 11th to schedule our proctored essays. Time is
