    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

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

    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...

    Do you have any specific questions or concerns that would help you make your decision? What is important for you when choosing

    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

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

    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...

    OHSU BSN Fall 2017

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

    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...

    Not letting grades define you

    MotoMonkey replied to studentbear's topic in General Students

    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...

    Should I still do nursing?

    MotoMonkey replied to shayjulia's topic in General Students

    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...

    Admissions Essay

    MotoMonkey replied to Jordan1927's topic in General Students

    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...

    Help please!!

    MotoMonkey replied to m_o323's topic in General Students

    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...

    Is nursing school really "the hardest thing you've ever done in your life"?

    MotoMonkey replied to cn4207's topic in General Students

    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...

    Dealing with faeces?

    MotoMonkey replied to ToastaHands's topic in General Students

    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...

    How many times were you rejected before getting into nursing program?

    MotoMonkey replied to gp14's topic in General Students

    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...

    Nclex results on hold Brain dumping

    MotoMonkey replied to vtii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

    SUPER low GPA

    MotoMonkey replied to cariboulover's topic in General Students

    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...

    Do I have to do Summer Externships?

    MotoMonkey replied to studentnurseemily's topic in General Students

    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...

    Recommendations for a (want to be) future nurse

    MotoMonkey replied to FutureRNNick's topic in General Students

    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,...

    Military to college advice.

    MotoMonkey replied to WaterDog's topic in Oregon Nursing

    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...

    Military to college advice.

    MotoMonkey replied to WaterDog's topic in Oregon Nursing

    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...
