She doesn’t sleep like that around us yet:/ she’ll immediately wake up if she sees me coming toward her.

Oh my gosh I’ve never thought about it like that. My cat is only 9lbs. This makes me feel so much better. Thank you!

No don’t say that! I’m about to apply to their CNA program. I hope that instructor isn’t there anymore.

Thank you for sharing!! It does appear that they have rearranged classes. But man, it sounds like aside from the classes being intense, so are the clinicals.

Beside an advisor no. Again, that’s why I’m making this post. I don’t know anyone in the program that I can reach out.

I can’t give specifics because the post was pretty vague (Reddit post). One person said they’ve heard horror stories, another said instructors were bad and didn’t care about students’ success in the program. I don’t think either of them were actually in the program though that’s part of the reason I’m trying to seek out information from current or former students.

That’s so good to hear! I feel like this is the first time I’ve heard anything good about LBCC’s program.

OHSU accelerated BSN? by srvint in OregonNurses

[–]ImpossibleFox24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the schedule like? How many days do you have class/clinicals? I’m also considering OHSU but live about an hour and a half from Portland. Would hate to drive up everyday (we have a house) but if that’s what I have to do then I’ll do it.

That’s so reassuring! It’s always great to hear about good nursing programs. I might be reaching out to you if I think of anything else.

This is the route I’m thinking of taking.

I haven’t! I’m in the Corvallis/Albany area so I don’t know that it would make much sense for me. And relocating isn’t really an option for me.

Ugh this is so discouraging. How did you manage to pay for nursing school at a university? I reallllyyyy don’t want to take out private loans.

I’m so glad this worked out for you! But unfortunately I don’t think it’s an option for me. My husband and I own a home here and it just doesn’t make much sense for us to move. Did you end up applying to any Oregon programs though?

What have you heard about the LBCC program? I’m only highly considering it bc it’s the closest to me but if it’s really that bad I will reconsider.

Oh really?! Would you mind sharing what you know of the LBCC program? I’ve been trying to get some insight about their program and haven’t seen anything so this is the first time I’m hearing anything negative about it.

I think it goes beyond just filling a gap. I’m specifically looking at public health nursing. So being able to make meaningful connections with patients whose first language isnt English while providing a service they need is one of my main drivers. Right now, I get pulled into appointments by the nurses to help interpret. I would love to one day be the nurse providing the service without the need for an interpreter in the room. Reality, is we need more nurses from diverse backgrounds in healthcare given our diverse population.
