    NursingCAS time for transcripts to be verified

    MotoMonkey replied to Jrodgers23's topic in General Students

    I do remember it taking a while for NursingCAS to verify all my transcripts. However, that was two years ago so I cant say exactly how long it took. I do remember that the times I had to call...

    DUI and Entering Nursing School

    MotoMonkey replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think it would be best to talk with a lawyer if you are at all interested in having your case possibly overturned. Though, at least in my state, smoking weed and then driving IS grounds for DUI....

    One Tattoo Situation

    MotoMonkey replied to lightscemogirl96's topic in General Students

    All of the individuals in my program with small visibal tattoos cover them with a bandage. You will notice it more than anyone

    Nursing school ?'s

    MotoMonkey replied to Weber's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personally I see very little value in IQ tests outside of screening for very low IQ in children in order to provide early intervention for potential learning disabilities. Past that I do not feel that...

    Not submitting all the schools I've attended in my applications?

    MotoMonkey replied to OllieRugby's topic in General Students

    Seems like a silly and unnecessary risk. Especially since you stated these grades are from eight years ago and the school you are applying to only looks at the past two years to calculate your

    Are these pre-reqs too much?

    MotoMonkey replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I dont see why it would take more than two years. If there are no prerequisites for those classes and you are taking three classes a semester then it would only take four

    Chances of Getting into Nursing School?

    MotoMonkey replied to rileowski's topic in General Students

    My school allowed us to apply without all the prerequisite courses completed but it is extremely unlikely to be accepted without the prerequisite courses complete. I think it is just a factor of...

    Being rejected with a perfect score, is it normal?

    MotoMonkey replied to melodywei's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you I would just plan to reapply next year. You have done a lot of digging into why you were rejected this year and as frustrating as their reasoning is they did give you a work around for...

    Are SNF/LTC common clinical sites for nursing school?

    MotoMonkey replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Students

    I have had SNF rotations very early on in school. It was a good way to develop early nursing skill, get comfortable with patient care, and gave me a greater perspective of what nurses do. I dont think...

    Shocking amount of past bad grades is it possible to redeem myself

    MotoMonkey replied to Sturmzie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would look into specific programs and see their requirements. I know that the GPA requirement for some nursing programs in Oregon only takes into account the GPA for your nursing prerequisites. This...

    Move out and live close to school or live at home and make commute.

    MotoMonkey replied to Teyrae13's topic in General Students

    Your situation sounds very similar to mine. I currently live at home, which is about 45 min away from campus, and my last clinical site was over an hour commute. This will be the third year I have...

    How long is your commute to school?

    MotoMonkey replied to TheCommuterx's topic in General Students

    My school is about 45 min away from my house. So far I have had to commute up to an hour for a clinical

    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

    MotoMonkey replied to ajnurse1988's topic in School, College Programs

    If I remember correctly, Fall term schedule was Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. For the most part it was classes Tuesday, lab Wednesday, and clinical Thursday. That schedule may have changed though, I...

    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

    MotoMonkey replied to ajnurse1988's topic in School, College Programs

    As others have said, your backpack is fine. Usually there was a good safe place for bags either on the unit or in a specific meeting room. All I ever brought to clinical was my required uniform...

    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

    MotoMonkey replied to ajnurse1988's topic in School, College Programs

    A handful of people in my cohort use them. Some of them like it, others have ended up selling theirs. The problem that most people have is the fact that they fold. This means that that any paper you...

    OHSU or WSU?!

    MotoMonkey replied to A.Watson's topic in General Students

    Current OHSU nursing student. You are correct in thinking that OHSU is very focused on community health. We spent a good portion of the first year discussing how to promote health within communities...

    MotoMonkey replied to ajnurse1988's topic in School, College Programs

    As far as stethoscopes go, you can choose any one you want. Littmann are good, and they are sold in the WOU book store (This might mean you can use financial aid to buy them). However, if you want to...

    This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    MotoMonkey replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    That is not to say we use each text each term. I find it useful to be able to refer back to certain books, especially when doing assignments where we have to cite rationals for nursing interventions....

    This is so crazy - Do I Need All These Books?

    MotoMonkey replied to KaTStudentNurse's topic in General Students

    That sounds similar to what I had to pay in books before the first term. I bought all of mine because we use them throughout the program. Not just during that

    That is an option. Though I like to be able to use chlorhexidine wipes to disinfect my stethoscope between patients. I have always thought that the covers acted as a place to harbor
