  1. HELP! I have to write policies now??!

    WOW that was an unexpected ending! I'm so sorry. That is awful. You sound smart and motivated, I'm sure you will find better
  2. Meaning of your username?

    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...
  3. Why or why not CRNA?

    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...
  4. 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...
  5. Anatomy and physiology 1

    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...
  6. Pre-reqs, Fulltime job, and motherhood

    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...
  7. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    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

  11. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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...
  12. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    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%...
  13. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    I would think an email. For the ABSN they sent out an

    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
  15. Two Lab Courses at Once

    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...
  16. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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...
  17. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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...

    Interviews are coming up so soon, I am so nervous! I'm interviewing Thursday afternoon at Portland... Anyone
  20. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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!!
  21. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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...
  22. OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

    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 &...
  23. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    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...
  24. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    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...
  25. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants
