OHSU Accelerated BSN Portland Program 2017-18

RSMgrafx · Feb 26, 2017

Thanks for starting a thread! I have not been invited to an interview yet, which I see on their website that they are being held the beginning of March. I sent a message to the admissions office mid-February and this is what I received: "Thank you for contacting the OHSU School of Nursing. The first round of applicants have been selected for interviews. All applicants will be notified of whether or not they are chosen for an interview, but other applicants can still be called in for an interview if necessary. Admissions decisions will be sent out shortly after interviews have concluded."

There is already an existing and active thread in the Pre-nursing forum:

This is a thread for the Bachelors to Bachelors program, not masters.

Hi everyone, I applied for both the ACBAC and the BSN programs. I also applied to the BSN/ ABSN programs at Linfield. I know this thread pertains to OHSU but I'm wondering if I could get someone's take on or feedback about an experience, especially if they've had the same experience.Yesterday I received an email from Linfield asking me to plan on retaking a Chemistry class next term (spring) that I ended up getting a C- in (Chemistry is not my strong subject). The accelerated program begins in June and the BSN in September. Acceptance letters go out by April 1st. I am already retaking the last class of the A&P series next term to improve my grade. Has anyone experienced this type of request. I'm on the edge of my seat wondering if I've been accepted and it will be hard to wait another month, especially with a request to retake a class. I don't want to get too excited and start planning prematurely...

I'm going in for an interview tomorrow for the Accelerated BSN program. I just realized that I have to write a proctored essay there. Any thoughts on what the topic might be? Also does anyone else think a group interview with other applicants present is a bit odd?

Same! So excited!

Not sure, probably something like, why we want to be a nurse

I think it's super weird they're doing a group interview. But I've read that we do like stations so we get mini individual interviews. Which I think is more effective because then they can get a lot of applicants through but not miss out on the individual qualities

Hi all, I interviewed for the ABSN program Thursday and I do think that it went well! Now anxiously waiting to hear back in the next couple of weeks! Good luck to all who interviewed.

I hope that we hear back soon and it's closer to within the next two weeks than closer to within the month. Getting really anxious for decisions.

Hi everyone! I'm an applicant to the Ashland campus...have you guys heard anything back yet?! Hoping for good news for all of you...

I emailed admissions this morning and they said that decisions will be sent out this week! Good luck everyone!

Hi Nielson94, Thanks for sending that email to admissions. I wanted to double check, was it Portland or Ashland admissions that said decisions will be send out this week? Thanks!
