OHSU's Accelerated BSN program 2012

U.S.A. Oregon

Published

Hi! I live in Portland, OR and want to apply for OHSU's accelerated bachelor's program for nursing, but there isn't a lot of information out there on it. I've browsed their website, but it doesn't answer all the questions I have. I would love to know exactly what they judge you on in order to get in. I know your GPA and essays are extremely important, but do they care if you have had work history, or your CNA license or not? I don't have any experience, but have a 4.0 so far in my pre-reqs, and a 3.6 in my previous bachelor's degree (in a social work field). Anyway, I want to apply for the program to enter it in the summer of 2012, so I can finish up my pre-req's and what not. I am just wondering what else I need to do, because I really want in. Also, how much does it cost, and being accelerated, is it 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, or what? I have two kids I'm going to need to find childcare for while I'm in school, so I just want to know what I'm in for. anyway, if you can help me answer any of these questions, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

I wish we could find out today about OHSU's ABSN program. It is killing me not knowing. I just want to move on with my life, either way. :)

Word.

I feel ya.. The wait has been frustrating!

Just spoke with admissions ten minutes ago, letters were mailed today they said! Fingers crossed!

Thank you for letting us know! :)

Oh man. FINALLY. I can't wait to find out!

Thank you for letting us know!

that means tomorrow or wednesday...

Thank you so much for calling and for letting us know. Good luck to everyone!

My mail doesn't get here until 5:00 pm usually! It's going to be a looooong day :) Good luck everyone!

Okay, that's actually more nerve-racking news than I expected. I am fully prepared to be passed over this year (almost fully prepared). I had only completed 2 prerequisite classes at the time of application, but it will be nice have some closure and at least KNOW. Good luck everyone!

Didn't come in the mail today. Maybe tomorrow.

I honestly don't know if I'll get in. I place my odds at 50/50. Realistically my odds are 30/450 or so. :)
