As far as I know, there are three places in Portland that offer a BSN (Bachelor's of Science in Nursing): OHSU, the University of Portland (which is Catholic), and Linfield.
All three have different requirements for transfer students. #$@&!!
So I pretty much have to decide ahead of time, which school I want to go to, and then take those classes.
Grrr.
I'm admittedly leaning towards OHSU. Mostly because they're not affiliated with a religion. And likely cheaper, but I didn't look at that yet. Also, and this is important, because they're the only ones that offer specifically psychiatric nursing. I'm not sure I want to specialize like that until after the BSN, but it's something to think about.
Anyway. Bedtime soon.
Something I forgot to mention earlier: there's a Lebanese restaurant, called Nicolas' I believe, on Grand near Burnside--a block or two from Noir. It's a less fancy environment than at Karam, but it's still super-good. It's noisier and a much more diverse crowd, it's almost as yummy, and it's far cheaper. Oh Yes. I think we'll be going there again soon. They have this garlicky chickpea dish that's just to die for...and their tahini sauce....mmm.

On the upside, their is tons of financial aid for anybody going into nursing, and a lot of it isn't even based on financial need. Some require that you go into an understaffed speciality (psych?). Providence will pay a huge chunk if you contract to work there after you graduate (Lacey has that one.)
Lacey is at Linnfield. Not only wasn't there a christian emphasis, but she was required to take a diversity class that required that you visit 3 services/churches that you had not experienced.
