  1. Oregon Basics

    Bluee replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, OHSU has taken a hit recently due to certain liability suits and some of their investments tanked with the economy. OHSU was on my list as a soon-to-be new grad.

  2. Mi RN moving to Portland oregon

    Bluee replied to moffist's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If you want to increase your chances of getting shot tenfold, go east of the river. West side for

  3. Question: taking the NCLEX before BSN graduation?

    Bluee replied to wannabecatcher's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll be eligible to sit for my boards almost a full year before I graduate with my BSN in 2010. It's part of this new innovative state-wide system here in Oregon. It'll be odd sitting in those 3...

    Bluee replied to anewday's topic in General Students

  5. More Male Nurses

    Bluee replied to doubleplay's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is not worth it if you are just switching for convenience sake or circumstance sake. You would benefit from having some genuine passion and determination, otherwise you will probably be eaten...

  6. My long term strategy

    Bluee replied to tbradnc's topic in Men in Nursing

    I would skip CNA work. You obviously already understand solid work ethic, which is one thing that being a CNA teaches you. CNA work can be completely back breaking, so there is no reason to subject...

  7. Nursing School?

    Bluee replied to elcapitan's topic in Men in Nursing

    If you want to join the military or a uniformed service, get your BSN first. Most require it anyways. It is a requirement to be an officer, and being an officer has much better benefits than being...

  8. Making Friends in Nursing School

    Bluee replied to anewday's topic in General Students

    I just finished my 3rd term of 6th, and I'd like to put in my own . I haven't made any real, lifelong friends, and the person who said "be friendly, but not friends" really hit the nail on the head....

  9. Which Healthcare system ?

    Bluee replied to NWRN09's topic in Oregon Nursing

    If you are interested in Psych at all, the Oregon State Hospital in Salem is being redone and should be ready for operation in a few years or so. They will be hiring a lot of nurses. Also, still on...

  10. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Bluee replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Yes, I'm in the most recent Winter cohort. Term is almost over! Just a few tests in the way

  11. Anyone hear about MHCC or Clackamas yet?

    Bluee replied to NewNurseyGirl2009's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Good luck to those who will be attending MHCC this coming school year! I definitely recommend getting as many co-reqs and BSN reqs (if BSN is your plan) done during this summer. You will have some...

  12. Mt. Hood CC Interview 2008

    Bluee replied to DarkHairedStudentCCC's topic in Oregon Nursing

    For the Winter start from 2007 (I dunno about 2008 start, they'll let you know at the interview), they get the first summer off then work straight through the second summer. So that's Winter, Spring,...

  13. A Poll: How many years did you wait?

    Bluee replied to nurseby07's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I got accepted on my second year. My first year was kind of half-orificed, since not all my pre-reqs were done and I only applied to

  14. Is it possible to go to nursing school and work full time?

    Bluee replied to nursing_88's topic in Oregon Nursing

    It is possible, contingent upon a lot of factors. Generally it would be best if you are singl and do NOT have any children. It would also help if you had a flexible job that would let you work less...

  15. Mt. Hood CC Interview 2008

    Bluee replied to DarkHairedStudentCCC's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I had an interview with MHCC's program last year and was accepted. The interview groups were sizes of 8 to 10 people. The group was sat down in a classroom, talked to a bit by faculty, and then...

  16. New grad! Small town or Portland? HELP!!

    Bluee replied to jaimenicole's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I love Portland so I'll try not to be that biased, but I can't help that. You should take a holistic approach, which means you have to factor in all of life's lovely elements. The four main elements...

  17. Best Long Term Care Facilities in Portland?

    Bluee replied to tofutti's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Maryville is on the bottom end of the payscale for CNAs and CMAs, although their nurse pay (especially LPN) is quite generous. The facility itself is kept up well, and the CNA staff is probably...

  18. Moving to the Philppines for nursing education?

    Bluee replied to Bluee's topic in International Nursing

    Wow, what a wide variety of responses! :) No one really mentioned the actual living experience of living in the Philippines. School is one very important aspect, yes, but what about when you aren't...
