  1. OHSU BSN 2016 Applicants

    Emails for the Portland ABSN interviews went out today!
  2. ADN to BSN vs. ABSN -- experience of recent grads?

    Thank you, this isexactly the type of feedback I was hoping for!
  3. I don't know anything about the hospitals, but high stress/high learning curve 1st position, plus hour & half commute plus young children equals greater possibility of burnout. What about the environment of each unit? Are the coworkers supportive...
  4. I failed a prereq

    What about taking preAlgebra or whatever the class is before the class you're struggling with? Also, check out khanacademy.org -- I think they do a great job teaching all levels of math and it's free!
  5. OHSU ABSN 2015 applicants

    FYi, there's a 2015 OHSU ABSN thread already going in the Oregon nurses forum.
  6. Help Please!! Withdraw from A&P??

    If the school(s) you want to apply to will use your highest or most recent grade if you retake the class and if it's too late to get your money back, I'd stick out the class and just do your darnest to get the grade up. That way if you do have to ret...
  7. Please help....

    That's a tough choice. I would first take location out of the equation and ask yourself which job do you feel more drawn to, which fits better in terms of your overall career goals (sounds like the peds gig based on what you posted here), which seems...
  8. Trying to get out of Home Care and into a hospital

    I'm not even a nursing student yet but a couple general things leapt out for me. If you do decide to put your clinical experience on your resume (and my understanding is that people on AN have differing opinions on whether this is appropriate or not)...
  9. Portland Nursing Programs and Volunteer

    Sent you a PM. Also, you can try hospices -- Medicaid mandates that a certain amount of a hospice provider's services are provided by volunteers. You have to go through a pretty lenghty training that seems to be offered on set cycles before you can s...
  10. How do you deal with dementia residents?

    This is a lovely post and wonderfully written. Thanks! When I started reading and came to the part about you having to take your "dreaded" job I thought this was going to be a negative rant about LTC-- boy was I wrong (and happy to be!).
  11. Ortho nurse vs Neuro nurse?

    It seems weird to me that the neuro training is THAT much shorter. Personally, if this was my first job, I would go with the one that offers the longer training period. (BTW, I'm even a not even a nursing student yet so my opinion is strictly theoret...
  12. Going back to nursing school

    You might want to take a year off after you get your degree -- maybe work in a health-related field and/or volunteer with a hospital or hospice or something similar just to make sure that you really are interested in nursing. I know it may seem lik...
  13. Call HR. If no response in a couple of days after you call HR ( I'm assuming you'll go to voice mail) then I would call or email the nurse manager and say that on your last conversation she told you that HR would be in touch, that you reached out to ...
  14. I can't believe this just happened!!!

    Very cool! I would maybe follow up with an email in a few days reminding him off the interaction, thanking him for the contact info and letting him know that when you graduate on X date you plan to apply to that company and you hope it will be OK if ...
  15. How to explain reasons for leaving?

    Ok, this is just me brainstorming because I haven't been in your position (yet), although I can certainly imagine being there -- so take it for what it's worth . . . . What about going into the interview with at least one way the position you're appl...
