I can speak to OHSU.

I have my B.S. Sociology with a minor in microbiology and pre-health. I have 2 years CNA experience with several different certifications (MA, CNA2, Gerontology, and Oncology specific) so about 2500 hours total direct patient care. I was an athlete during my first B.S., worked as research assistant in both the sociology department, and OHSU on smoking cessation. My GPA is 3.91. I was not accepted into the ABSN program but was given a spot in the traditional BSN program. There are so few spots in the ABSN here they are really looking for students who are doing a career change and have worked for many years doing something else. I would recommend if you could to get more direct patient care experience I don't remember if it was the ABSN or the traditional BSN but one of them didn't even consider your experience unless you had 1000+ hours. Your previous studies in Denmark though may really set you apart from other applicants! Good luck!
