Inside Linfield -
Portland Campus Students
Peer Resource Network (PRN) of Linfield University-Good Samaritan School of Nursing connects a community of past, present, and future nursing students in an effort to instill confidence and ease transitions by providing support, guidance, and inspiration while fostering the core values of nursing.
The Peer Resource Network (PRN) is a mentoring network that helps students better identify with the culture of nursing school including communicating with faculty, student involvement opportunities, and campus resources in order to have a successful first semester.
Hi! My name is Brenna Dunn and I am a fourth-semester student. I am originally from Hillsboro, OR and still live at home with my family after 2 years at the McMinnville campus for my pre-reqs. Some fun facts about me: I LOVE dogs, I will point out any and every dog I see. I am an extremely hard worker and sometimes I work myself a little too hard. Something you’ll learn in nursing school is that you need to give yourself more credit for what you are going through. Your mind and body needs BREAKS, take them!! I am excited for this upcoming year with you all. I am here for all of you as you start this new chapter!
My name is Nicole Hale. I am a fourth-semester student here at Linfield. In 2019 I completed my prerequisites and Associate of Science degree at Portland Community College. I moved from Boise, Idaho to Portland in 2006 and met my husband shortly after. We have two very energetic children ages 13 and 4.
My desire for nursing started at a young age and it took me many years to get where I am today, but it’s a dream come true. I am interested in acute care and excited to see what the future holds.
I look forward to meeting you all in the Spring.

Hi all! My name is Gadibel and I am a fourth-semester nursing student. I am originally from Talent, Oregon and I transferred from the McMinnville campus upon completing my pre-requisites. I am unsure what specialty I want to pursue but I am slowly figuring out as I progress through nursing school. I love to spend time with family and friends and love to watch cooking shows, even if I’m not the best cook myself. I hope your journey through nursing school is as marvelous as you are; you got this!
Hello, my name is Theo Davis. I was born and raised In Portland, Oregon.

Hi! My name is Paige and I’m a fourth-semester student. I’m from Sherwood, OR and went to the MAC campus for my pre-reqs.

I’m so excited to meet you all and share what I’ve learned throughout my time at Linfield! Please don’t be afraid to reach out and ask for help!
