OHSU ABSN-MSN/DNP Midwifery 2016

Published

Hi everyone!

I just started my application for OHSU's ABSN-MSN/DNP in Midwifery program, so I figured I should start a thread like there was for previous cohorts since I have a bunch of questions about the application.

To start: I noticed that there is only one application for admission to both programs (ABSN-MSN and ABSN-DNP), does the single application cover both programs? Or would I need to apply twice if I were to apply to both? Is it possible to apply to both?

I originally was only going to apply to the ABSN-MSN program, but if the ABSN-DNP is also an option I wouldn't mind also applying to it. Though I would assume the ABSN-DNP competition is tougher than the ABSN-MSN, is that true? Or are there less applicants making it less competitive?

I would love really any insight on the programs and the application processes!

I noticed that in the application as well. They have an FAQ about it that doesn't quite cover it but from what I understand "Accelerated BS in Nursing MN/DNP-FNP Portland Summer 2016" this is the only application you need to fill out if you are interested in the Accelerated BSN to either Masters or DNP. I am not sure how you apply to both or declare which particular program you are interested in. Perhaps you are admitted all the way to DNP and can choose to stop at Masters if you want.

I just asked one of the advisors, and she said that you specify which you want in the essay and the supplemental application. I wonder if they prefer one over the other though.

MSN and DNP students take the same core courses. DNP students normally take an extra online 700 course. It definitely is more time consuming to do the DNP, so don't even consider working full time and doing the DNP at the same time.

Do you need all your prerequisites completed before applying?

You can apply before the prerequisites are done, but they have to be completed before the program starts.

I have it so that you can search for it on Facebook, but not everyone can see what's being posted. Try and search it again and let me know!

Just submitted my application last week! So exciting. Did you all hear about the essay change from admissions? They sent me an email to say there had been a mix up with NursingCAS, and the essays can actually be a max of 700 words (instead of 350 like the online application says). Still trying to decide if I'm going to expand on mine, since they said I could update them.
