  3. Portland Job Market for New Grad RNs

    shawba08 replied to learning&growing's topic in Oregon Nursing

    shawba08 replied to learning&growing's topic in Oregon Nursing

    shawba08 replied to learning&growing's topic in Oregon Nursing

    shawba08 replied to VonE's topic in Oregon Nursing

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

    shawba08 replied to NurseVoldemort's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The cost is $12 a day on the hill...and the commute from Hillsboro is not going to be easy unless you leave around 6:45-7. The only problem is you have to time it right or you will get to work really...

  17. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    shawba08 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely with all of your points...your point about time with the kids during the summer and days off during the week without using vacation time are important to me. My daughter is just a...

  18. Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    shawba08 replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

  21. Applicants to Portland/Salem Area Nursing Schools 2014

    shawba08 replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing

    That has to be the difference...I only applied to Linfield and OHSU but it seems like its a little unfair that someone who works in patient care as, for example, an MRI tech or X-Ray tech can't get...

    shawba08 replied to conaid's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If I am accepted to the Linfield accelerated program, I'll let you know! However, I think you are pretty much right in your assumptions that gpa and essay play the biggest role. People with clinical...

    shawba08 replied to efda2rn's topic in Oregon Nursing
