OHSU Accelerated BSN 2016

[Delfena]

Hello! Hopefully this is posted in the correct forum. I've been looking for months to see if anyone has started a thread about applying to OHSU's ABSN program for 2016, and couldn't find anything (just a thread for the traditional BSN). So I thought I'd start one!

I finished my Nursing CAS application in November, and just updated with my fall term grades last week. So now I'm anxiously awaiting contact!

A little about me and my app:

I come from a social science background, and have worked in the non-profit sector for the last 7 years. I'm a Portland native, and am currently working as a birth doula. I volunteer in a NICU, and I have a 17 month old son. My cumulative GPA is 3.96, and I still need to complete A&P III and Statistics (winter term) and Microbiology (spring term). I did ask OHSU if not having all the prerequisite complete at the time of application would affect my chances, and they said that it wouldn't (so hopefully that's the case!).

I'd love to hear from other applicants, so please feel free to post a little about yourself!

My lab partner in micro was already accepted for the 2015 OHSU ABSN program in Ashland. There was another guy in there as well who had a slot for the summer start. So I'm thinking that it may be the case

Gere: did you mean to say 2016?

which one is the other summer start ?

[gere7404, BSN, RN]

No, I meant last years cohort. I took microbio last spring and two other students in the class with me were already accepted into the absn program

Gere, thank you for replying :)

A little about me. My background is in Social Work, Addictions Counseling, and Medical Interpreting.

Good Luck to All of Us

Hi I just stumbled upon this thread as I anxiously wait to hear whether or not I have been invited to an interview in March! I am super nervous and would love to hear if/when people start getting invites!

Anyone else apply to Ashlands Accelerated BSN program?

I am applying to Ashland Tlcbales.

[tlcbales]

yay! awesome! GOOD LUCK! let me know if you hear anything :) seems like last year they heard around feb. 14th

[Delfena]

Is anyone else checking their email every 30 minutes? :) It looks like applicants found out about interviews last year on Friday, February 13th. So if it's the same this year, we should hear something tomorrow! Fingers crossed!

[aronstel]

Hahaha so much yes to this. Anxiety and anticipation are at an all time high. Crossing my fingers for a positive outcome!

[FutureRNPDX]

Yes! I have been checking my e-mail CONSTANTLY. The suspense is killing me!!

[panalitos]

Today is the 13.

Anyone's heard anything yet?

[Delfena]

Nothing yet..

I hate to do this to everyone, but I heard yesterday that one of the students in my Microbiology class got an interview for the ABSN in Ashland. She got an email on Wednesday.

Now I am a thousand times more upset that I haven't heard anything, though I am applying for Portland, so I'm just hoping they're a bit behind.

(I don't think this means they're done sending emails though. Just makes me that much more twitchy about checking my email every ten seconds.)
