OHSU ABSN 2021

Published

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone else is applying for the ABSN at OHSU for 2021? I just submit my application for the Ashland campus and would love to connect with other people who are applying! I'm feeling pretty nervous about how competitive the program is ?

I was waitlisted last year for the ABSN to PNP program. I was devastated. I also asked what I could improve on and was told I was competitive but there weren’t enough spots. (Only 4) 

 

I’ve reapplied but I’m feeling so discouraged. This is my last year before my credits begin expiring and I've worked so incredibly hard to get to this point. 
 

so has anyone else received interview invited for the ABSN to dnp programs?

I applied for the ABSN to PMHNP and haven’t heard anything. Emailed to make sure they at least received my application.

I also applied to the PMHNP program and haven't heard anything. Fingers crossed for both of us! It's so hard to wait!

Has anyone heard anything yet about interviews for the ABSN to DNP? I applied to the Summer start at the Ashland campus.

Nope! I applied to ABSN -> DFNP (Portland) and am hoping to hear something by the end of the week. I know they're really busy with vaccine clinic stuff, so perhaps they're behind a little? That's what I keep telling myself at least. If it's helpful context, last year I received my interview invitation on January 29th (I ended up waitlisted).

I wanted to let people know that I received my interview invite to the Ashland campus ABSN to DNP this morning. I'm still waiting to hear about the ABSN at the Portland campus.

I also received my invite! Did your invitation said Ashland campus? I applied to Ashland campus but on my invite it said Portland.

@Le_Chatlier Hi! I am super interested in learning more about your experience in the application cycle and process last year. What volunteering, work, and shadowing experiences do you think make a strong application? 

I'm planning to apply for next year's cycle for the accelerated BSN to pediatric DNP program! I hope this application cycle works out for you! Fingers crossed!! 

Thank you! I hope so too.

Work & volunteer experience that involves direct patient care and demonstrates civic mindedness always looks good on an application. While OHSU doesn't have a specific work or volunteer experience requirement for their nursing programs, it's generally understood that these things help an applicant stand out. This is especially true when an applicant can explain/demonstrate how skills from these experiences translate to nursing. I've been a practicing LMT for over a decade, so interact directly with my my patients on a regular basis. Because of these routine interactions, I'm better able to detect changes in their health and can make appropriate recommendations to the patient and report these changes to other providers on the team. 

Sorry for the delay on this. The past couple months have been crazy!

Those wondering about interview invites for Ashland ABSN, if memory serves, I received mine last year the 2nd or 3rd week in February. I'm guessing it'll be much the same for 2021, as the interview dates are the same weekend in March as last year.

Mine said Portland as well, but I emailed to clarify and it is indeed the Ashland campus that we are interviewing for! Good luck!

It's been silent for the ABSN DNP-FNP program in Portland, at least on my end. Anyone else got an invite on the Portland campus?
