Bedside inflation.

It was April 7th:)

I got into LaGrande as well! See you in the fall!!

I finished an interview last Friday at OHSU. They said that acceptance letters will go out within 2 weeks, possibly sooner....

I remember your posts from when you were awaiting acceptance Mbell!! So awesome your on your way! :)

Smcgarr...did you apply to the Portland campus?

"Picking" is not always in relation to hospice patients. I work on a Neuro Critical Care unit and many patients (who fully recover), exhibit the picking behaviors. Usually it's a hyper focus on one item, such as a SAT PROBE, straightening the bed linens, or pulling at the nape of their gown. It's related most often to frontal stroke injury, and is common within the first week or so after a stroke or re-bleed.

I'm not sure where you live, but here on the west coast, it's unimaginably difficult to get into nursing school due to the high numbers of applicants and prerequisite criteria.

In addition to the threat of taxpayers taking a hit, all of the nursing student hopefuls in Oregon are at risk of an even longer delay into local nursing programs(Not to mention expired prerequisites). As community based nursing programs such as PCC are currently discussing potential ways to accommodate the displaced ITT students, individuals such as myself are on edge wondering how acceptance into the already limited programs will be even remotely attainable. My though is that the government will strongly encourage a tax incentive "community college bailout" in opposition to any loan forgiveness programs. If only I would have chosen not to ignore the direct quotes of "WE ARE NOT AN ACCREDITED INSTITUTION" by ITT staff when I visited their campus two years ago. I could be that much closer to fulfilling my dream.

Cannabis has come a LONG way from the days of smoking through a coke can or a hollowed out apple. Although I'm not a smoker myself, I know several people who use cannabinoids as a means of relief of many different ailments; some treatable (PTSD, spinal injury), and some non-treatable (terminal cancer). None of them smoke. They use edibles, vaporizers, tinctures, etc. It's incomprehensible to me that so many supposedly "educated" intelligent medical professionals continue to place their faith in pharmaceutical corporations and the products they push on our society. We have been taught to believe that smoking marajuana is a gateway to other drug use, etc., which it very well may be. Yet it is a fabulous distraction from actually promoting further medical research and the production of safer and more economically viable medications. With substances such as heroin and meth rampant within cities across the US, weed is the LEAST of our problems. Its "high" time we quit with the hype, take a step back, and see how the new partial acceptance of this ancient drug might evolve.

I interviewed at OHSU LaGrande Campus last year and this was the exact format used:) I was placed on the waiting list but never received a spot.....

I believe that you need 122. WR227 (Technical Writing) is a requirement for most bachelor programs, yet in addition to the two mandatory writing courses (WR121,WR122)....

Hi Reid:) So did you ever get into OHSU??

Did anyone get on the alternate list at the OHSU LaGrande Campus?

AWESOME AbbyVee!! I was placed in the alternate list for OHSU in LaGrande, so fingers still crossed! Congratulations!!

From what I understood, each campus comes up with their own questions. There were 5 questions that were asked in 5 seperate rooms (each room had only one member of the nursing school staff in it). Your answers are judged based on a pre-determined rubric. Example: Describe someone who you admire in a leadership role. How would you strive to emulate the attributes of this leader? What are some values you possess that will help you personally as a nurse? Choose five photographs (provided) and explain how they would represent you as a nurse. Explain any situations you have dealt with diversity....There really is no right or wrong answer to any of the questions. They are simply trying to get an idea of your communication skills and how you interact with people. Good luck!!!!

Hi MotoMonkey, Do you remember what the supplemental questions were that we were asked to complete on the OHSU app? I can't access my NursingCAS app anymore because it was the 2.0 version:(

Check out these sample questions on Quizlet....They are a good example of typical questions asked in an interview... Nursing Program Interview Questions flashcards | Quizlet

If I can do it as an old lady, ANYONE can!!! Keep pushing forward!! Your AWESOME!

Hi MotoMonkey:) I applied for OHSU La Grande campus. My overall GPA is 3.83 yet my science GPA is only about a 3.2. I have all of my prerequisites done (Just finished Microbiology yesterday) in addition to all of my upper division coursework completed. I also have my CNA 1 and about 140 hours of volunteer hours in a medical setting. Even with my lower science GPA I recieved a letter from OHSU last week asking me to come in for an interview😊 This said, its nice to know that they must be weighing other factors when selecting candidates. I have predominantly been a stay at home mom over the past 20 years and returned to school about three years ago:) Good luck to you! It sounds like your are well on your way!

Yes...expect to be AWESOME and sign your enrollment papers!!í ½í¸‰í ½í¸‰

I just recieved an email yesterday from the OHSU La Grande campus Kthomas:). You could possibly still get one! Regardless, don't give up!!

Congratulations! I hear you regarding the emotional part....I found out yesterday that I landed an interview at OHSU La Grande campus next month. I seriously cried when I received the email!

Actually, Math 95 is the prerequisite for statistics within most Oregon Community Colleges:)
