Hi everyone, I applied for the MSN program for FPMHNP (traditional entry). Has anyone heard back about an interview yet?

Me too. Just got a rejection email

Well we can be disappointed together. Didn't even make the wait list!

I'm sorry to hear about these decisions, guys. I really think we are all qualified candidates, as evidenced by the fact that they chose us to interview. And I really look forward to having you all as colleagues, even if just over allnurses.com

I still haven't heard. I'll let you know when I do.

I just got my acceptance email from OHSU. Seems realllly late in the game... I heard about my acceptance to UCSF, Yale and Duke weeks ago. OHSU was really late with their interviews invitations as well. Any thoughts about why their process is so behind?

I also just received my acceptance to OHSU. Their acceptance was really late. I have already put a deposit and begun registering for classes at my backup school. Sucks to lose that money and time, but what can you do?

Just want to give some background information for those that got accepted into Ohsu and another school.

I'm a native Oregonian. Some things to consider is cost of living. It's definitely cheaper to rent here compared to Ucsf, but more expensive than Austin I suppose. Most likely you will need to take public transportation. Depending on where you live, if you are able to find an affordable apartment, that is, it will take you about an hour for public transportation. If you want to park on campus, it's 13/day.

It's nice to do clinical rotations at this university hospital. Most of the clinical rotations are done at the hospital. Mental health students may have clinical rotations at smaller clinics around Portland.

The majority of professors already have a PhD or DNP. I'm not a fan of professors that teach, have a full time clinic job and are pursuing their decorates at the same time.

All of the programs take the first few classes together...Health Assessment and Pharmacology to name a couple. Anyhow. Hope this info helps some of you decide which program you would like to do.

i am reading over this and keep skimming IV league schools...is OSHU some sort of high-status school? I mean I already know Oregon is "weird" and doesn't really have a good relationship with online masters programs because of its ruling tat a teacher must be present , but why is it so "prestigious" otherwise?

They have been in the past. In the 2011 US news rankings, OHSU's nursing graduate programs ranked #7 (tied with Yale if I remember correctly). This past year they apparently chose not to be ranked (d/t changes in deans and such- or so I hear). So- I guess it depends on your definition of prestigious.
