I came up with my username at the verrrrrrrrrrrrry beginning of my nursing path a couple of years ago. It's a motto for my life and for every step I've taken so far in this journey! That no matter...
I'm also headed on the path of **hopefully**one day** becoming a CRNA. But I would agree with the above comments, the money and time should be an after thought. I finished up an undergrad double major...
In regards to awful blunders in the OR -- I work for a wonderful doctor who has let me shadow him in the OR a number of times. The first time I touched the sterile microscope with my bare hands... I...
Totally agree with Zoe! I used the same method and got an A in a all 3 A&P courses. I would read the chapter before class and take notes, then add notes during the lecture, then make flashcards...
Is there any possibility of dropping to part-time for school? Getting into nursing school is hard and most schools (although there are exceptions) look for a 3.8+ in the pre-requisites. My hats off to...
I interviewed and was accepted for the accelerated program. While I can't tell you the exact questions or prompts I would agree with the previous poster who mentioned studying the old essay
My good friend that I made doing pre-reqs just texted me that she got an email from OHSU Portland. She was waitlisted. I'm seriously SHOCKED because she is an amazing student and had a good amount of...
i know when I RSVP'd there was no confirmation. I ended up emailing them and they said there is no confirmation that goes out. But it still feels weird for something so important to not be 100%...
OMG I can't believe how fast they got their decisions out!! Congrats you guys. It sounds like they accept a large amount from the wait list so I hope you guys all get in! Congrats to you delfena
I think it depends on the rest of your schedule. Are you working too? I took A&P I and Microbiology at the same time last year. I was also working full time. I think I about near died but I did it...
Wow! The Ashland format for the interviews sounds interesting and maybe a bit less nerve-wracking then the Portland format haha. Congrats though to everyone who has made it this far!!! They got an...
I just finished my interview process! I feel great about the essay but not so great about the interview. The format of the interview was so unlike anything I've ever experienced and I felt like my...
Thanks @bigskygirl!! Those are actually pretty good statistics, almost a 50% chance of getting in once you're selected to interview. Kind of makes me wish I applied for Ashland!!
Ah thank you! Yeah... I know they have an emphasis on working with diverse populations so I was hoping my experience with that would help me out. I want to be a CRNA so hoping to go into the ICU for a...
Thank you for linking me to this page @Delfena! I was wondering if there was going to be an ABSN forum! I'll post some info about me too... I graduated in 2014 with a double major in Sociology &...
Not sure if the documents differ by campus but when I spoke with the Portland admissions office over the phone they told me to the pre req worksheet is no longer used. They only require a word...
Yay!!! Congrats!!!! I also got an email for an interview! I'm nervous though once I saw that it's a group interview. I remember last year some people in my microbiology class that had interviews, said...
From stalking previous message boards it seems like they invite people for an interview about 2 weeks prior to the interview dates. Which means for the ABSN I would think it should be sometime next...
