Hi,
Anyone else out there getting anxious to hear from OHSU's Portland campus for their BSN program? They said they'll notify in early May which is still a month away, but I just want to know now! It's my first time applying and the only program that I applied to this year, so I'm not counting on it.
Good luck to everyone!

Larisa-
Well I haven't heard anything yet today so my hopes are dwindling. :)
So the University of Alaska is the only school in Alaska with a Nursing program...so entrance is still pretty competetive. It doesn't compare to down here though because you don't get as many out of state applicants. They have both a two year and a four year program. The two year is actually harder to get into because you have all these kids graduating from High school applying. There is a wait though for the four year...I was actually accepted for Fall 2011 term. So I figure I will re-apply to all of these schools down here once more and have UAA as my backup since I was already accepted. But it's a great program up there! I highly reccomend it to someone who doesn't mind living in AK for a while. I did my pre-reqs there so that's why I applied.
I'm not so quick to give up hope! Not much more I can do to prepare.....already have all of my pre reqs..plus completed and the only thing I could possibly do is retake some classes for better grades. Besides I am sure it takes time to process everything, we can't expect them to have such a quick turn around. After all, they are not as anxious as all of us Well in the meantime I will be hopeful and know that if this is truely what I am supposed to be doing in life, it will happen. I am just going to set myself up the best I can to make it possible.
