You can use the "compare" feature on the Littmann website to see the specs side by side. To me the Classic III and the Classic II S.E. are very similar and have very similar performance. I have used...
I actually finished mine prior to entering the program. It seems like others in my cohort are taking most, if not all, their upper division classes over the summer. There are some terms that are not...
In order to graduate you are required to take 15 credits of upper division, non-nursing courses. They can be from any area, so long as they are 300 or 400 level. As an example my upper division...
My biggest tip is to stop talking to others about grades. If they ask how you did just say "I did well" or "I didnt do as well as I had hoped" and leave it at that. That way you dont end up comparing...
What WanderingWilder said is so very true. In high school I did very poorly, embarrassingly poorly. I ended up taking four years off after high school and had a variety of jobs from stocking shelves...
I think everyone has a different approach to answering questions like this. I thought of my admissions essays as my first interview, they were a way to express my unique life experiences and show that...
Ill try my best to answer your questions and get you headed in the right direction. BSN programs do not require you to be an RN, at the completion of the BSN program you will be eligible to sit for...
I have found this to be so true. I have made a conscious decision to not internalize other peoples experiences. If someone found nursing school or a particular class to be extremely difficult then...
I would say that in some ways you do get used to it. After doing that enough times it just becomes routine and you don't really think about it anymore. Sometimes the smell will still hit you and you...
I knew exactly what school I wanted to go to for my BSN so I never even considered applying anywhere else. I was not even given an interview the first application cycle, though I was not finished with...
I believe that the pearsonvue results just mean you have passed the exam, as in you scored high enough to pass. I do not believe it would take into account if you are under review. I do not think...
Many programs, at least in my area, only look at the GPA from your prerequisite coursework. This means that despite your low cumulative GPA you could potentially apply with a 4.0 prerequisite GPA. I...

I don't think you HAVE TO do anything. It is always your choice. I don't think that the majority of students end up doing summer externships. I just do not believe there is enough availability of...
The program you are looking into may be different, however, most nursing programs require you to take a year or more of prerequisite college coursework. This course work may consist of basic reading,...

Sounds like youre on the right track. From the sounds of it WOU is pretty good about taking in credits from other Oregon schools. In the navy do you have a medical rating? Hospital Corpsman ...ect? If...

I think a lot of it will depend on what classes you can transfer to WOU and how they transfer. Just be aware that sometimes classes don't transfer in the way you would expect. Being able to complete...

OHSU technology standards say this about netbooks and chromebooks: "While they provide access to the Internet and keep a person connected to the web and email, they are underpowered to run Microsoft...

I am still waiting for my packet as well. I am sure it will be here soon. I keep getting emails from the school about financial aid and stuff so I am almost convinced that my acceptance was not a...
Hey all, Anyone else applying for Fall 2015 BSN program at OHSU? I am getting my application together now, but I wont be able to finalize or submit it until after December when fall term grades are...
