Did anyone out there apply to Linfield for the 2009-2010 school year? I applied to the summer start ABSN program and am anxiously awaiting their response that should be sent out next week. I just wanted to start a thread for anyone that applied and is waiting to hear back form the school. Good luck everyone!

I thought for sure it'd be more like April 23rd, too. I was really surprised when I got a letter. Also, I think being waitlisted is still a really good sign, and I wish you luck.

Thanks everyone for the congrats.

Congratulations to all those who got in!!! I am excited to meet you all.

Good luck to the rest still waiting, and those on the waiting list.

LinfieldNursingGuy, I didn't call my cohort anything, but thanks for the tip anyway.

When we got there we were all "woohoo we're the summer 08 cohort" we were quickly corrected... :D

It's crazy fast, stressful, lots of reading, and sometimes you feel like you are drowning - even with all of that it hella fun and a great program.

I have a question that I'm hoping somebody out there can answer. I applied for the regular, not the accelerated, Linfield nursing program and I still haven't received a letter. Everybody else on here seems to have, and my friends who applied seem to have, so what's the deal? Anybody have any ideas?

I haven't heard back yet either, but I am out of state and suspect it will take a little while longer to hear. It does make me a little anxious, however, knowing that others have heard and I haven't. Just so you know, my wife also applied for the regular BSN program and hasn't heard back either. We thought it might be because of the distance, but are not sure. I hope we hear soon.

I know it is stressful waiting. Last year when my wife applied to nursing schools OHSU mailed acceptance and wait-list letters out over a few weeks which was quite nerve wracking on everyone. Maybe this year Linfield is mailing them out randomly over a week long period the way OHSU did.

So did nursing school finally help you self diagnose you psychiatric disorder? :bugeyes:

Hehe, my dogs Barley and Hops betrayed my identity! Look forward to seeing you at orientation.

You of all people should know "Friends Don't Let Friends Self Diagnose" ...

I got my acceptance letter today! I made it in for the Fall 2009 start date. I am really excited and can't wait to start.

So can anyone recommend a nice area for housing? We are moving from out of state and are relatively unfamiliar with the area. We really liked the NW area, but are willing to commute a little ways if we have to. Oh yeah, we have an 8 month old lab puppy so it would be nice to find an area that is pet friendly. Thanks!

Congrats! I look forward to meeting you at orientation! NW Portland is nice, Im not sure what you want to spend on rent but it may be hard to find a place with a yard in that part of town for a reasonable price. NE Portland is affordable and bike / dog friendly. There are plenty of hip up and coming areas in NE, you can find a small house with a yard for around $1000. Another nice area is close in on the SE side. In my opinion something closer in then say 50th ave would be a good location. Public transportation is good in Portland and you may consider being near the MAX or a TriMet bus stop.

Congrats on getting into Linfield!

Portland was named #1 City for Dogs a couple of years ago – we love pups here. As for housing, the NW is very expensive, actually anything "close in" is kinda spendy. Suburbs are generally cheaper. West side is more expensive than the east side (east of the Willamette River). Hawthorne Blvd is kind of a fun area, but it is considered close in. We live off I-205 – about 11 miles from school. The commute can be fairly quick in the mornings but averages 25 min on most days. PM me if you need more information on particular areas you are looking at.

Congrats again!

congrats huffy! I STILL havent gotten anything from Linfield. Really weird/annoying. I wish they could just tell me by e-mail

My wife also applied to the regular BSN and she has not heard back either. When we first applied and received postcards from Linfield notifying us that our apps were received, I got mine about 2 weeks before hers arrived. It may be that they send out the ABSN letters before the regular BSN. Hang in there, it should come soon!
