Private BSN


Hello:

I am currently in a BSN program at a private institution called West Coast University in Los Angeles, CA.

Although tuition is over #30,000 a year, it is an amazing program.

You apply and go straight into a three year nursing program with a graduation date set and everything.

No wait lists, no point system, nothing.

Unfortunately, I will have to move up to Portland, Oregon for family reasons.

I am excited about coming to beautiful Portland, but is there any similar institution in Portland?

Thanks a bunch!

PS: I'm totally checking out the Hawthorne area for apartments, and I think I'm in love.

Linfield College has a great program. Well respected and it is one of 4 BSN programs in the area. The program's history dates back to the first nursing program in Oregon. It's a private college so the student-staff ratios are great. If you have a previous bachelors degree, you may qualify for the Accelerated BSN program.

Are you looking to transfer into a nursing program? How far along are you in your current program?

Welcome to Oregon :-)

There are three private and one kinda public, kinda private school for BS in nursing degrees.

Linfield, as was mentioned
George Fox University
University of Portland

are the private schools

then there's Oregon Health & Science University (part of the Oregon State University System, but not as well)

Best of luck as you figure out your plan :-D

Peace,
