Linfield University MEPN vs Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) - ABSN

Published

Hi all,

I have been accepted into both Linfield's MEPN and OHSU's ABSN starting in 2025. I am super excited about starting nursing school but am trying to learn a little more about the programs before I have to make my choice. I have just a few more weeks to decide. 
 

I am interested in the MEPN but it is practically twice as expensive. I have also read that Linfield requires a lot of reading and writing assignments (presumably because it's a Master's). Normally that wouldn't phase me but I have a little kiddo at home now and time is very limited! 
 

Here are some questions if anyone has time to answer them:

  1. Did/do you feel like Linfield or OHSU are preparing you to take the NCLEX and work as a nurse?
  2. How large is the workload for either of the programs?
  3. How much do the programs focus on clinical experience and practical skills? Is it 50/50 class work to clinical experience?
  4. Have you had a good experience with your instructors?
  5. Are you happy to have attended the program that you chose or do y oh regret your choice?

Thanks for talking with me!

Hi Annie,

I'm sorry I can't help with your questions, but I plan to apply to both of those programs as well. Any advice for me with the applications? What do you think helped you be successful with both schools? And which one did you ended up choosing? 

Thanks!
