OHSU -- Accepted!

Published

Well, I am ecstatic to say that today's mail contained a large envelope from OHSU which held a letter stating that I have been accepted into OHSUs BSN program! After jumping around the house for 5 minutes I am ready to buy drinks for everyone! :D

Specializes in HH, Med/surg- liver & kidney transplant, ortho, ++.

Nursing school is one big challenge, but well worth it. Thats one of the reasons why I chose OHSU for my bachelors degree. And the fact that it leaves an option open to maybe go for my masters degree later.

I'm still in dreamland... Can't wait to start this journey!

About the child care, I looked at the schedule for last year sophomores, and it was 1 lecture day 9 to 1, and two long clinical days. It's on the SON website, somewhere.

Yay! That's all I got :)

CONGRATS to all of you!! :yeah: You must be so unbelievably relieved. And honored! I don't know any of you but I'm proud of you all.:lol2: I didn't apply to OHSU...just waiting to hear back from Clackamas now. Did any of you interview for Clackamas? :coollook: Lol - I hate to pry but if you got into OHSU, you probably got into Clackamas, too. Just allowing my poor stressed mind to run free and wondering what my odds are...we can't we all just be nurses?! ;)

I was rejected from CCC, I didn't get an interview at all. My all-inclusive GPA was 4.0 and I do not have a previous degree. I also do not have any health care experience except for care provided to my mom and support for my wife during breast cancer. My career has been a CEO of a company that created computer animation for forensic purposes and courtroom demonstrative evidence, a lot of it dealing with medical/anatomy. I've adopted a child from India and I too just talked about how and why I have decided to leave my 18 year career and move on to nursing. I admit I have a strong skill at writing essays and revising/editing, but I just honestly talked about my strengths, my expectations, goals and confidence. It's been several days now and I am still in awe that they choose me and I am so very grateful.

Congrats, KMD! :yeah: Thanks for your input. I'm just so antsy and I'm trying to reason my way into figuring out whether I'll be accepted or not...I'm sure you know the feeling. I had 61.38/70 points at clackamas and was invited to the interview/essay. I don't think I blew them away, but I didn't fall on my face either. That part was worth 30 points. I'll just keep checking my mail box...:banghead:
