OHSU BSN, Fall 2021

Published

Hi, first post because I cannot find that much information about this!
Apps recently opened to OHSU's BSN program. I haven't decided if I want to apply to Ashland or Monmouth - I am currently in California (don't hate me Oregonians) but most of my family live close to those two campuses. 

Anyone else start their application for OHSU yet? 

Also - Any tips for essay question responses? I have a 3.9 GPA in the prereqs and overall, finished all prereqs, and have 4000+ hours of healthcare experience as a medical assistant, but I feel like I still might screw it up if I flub those responses.

Interviews in! Wish everyone good luck and look forward to meeting y’all.

FYI: I received my invite to interview this evening from Monmouth. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks for the heads up! I wonder if they send  e-mails one by one LOL I’m hoping I still have a chance of getting an invite :) 

got my essays in- good luck everyone

Anyone know if you're able to work at all while in the 3 year program?

Yep! It can be easier to work weekends since your class schedule changes - depends on what job you have basically and how flexible your schedule can be between terms.

Thank you! Did anyone here apply for any scholarships?

Hi!

I’m just finishing up my essays.. I noticed a lot of the prompts are similar to the original essay prompts on NCAS. For example, the first question asks about what skills we learned from a job or volunteer work and I was wondering If I could copy/paste my original responses LOL

I can’t find the link, is there a particular link for OHSU Ashland or do you apply to OHSU in general?

says it opens April or may.... you also need to be accepted to OHSU Ashland or RCC to apply

you get your name on a plaque in the entrance of AACH and a free lunch so it’s pretty cool
