OHSU Nursing Campus Rating

[DQstatus]

So I have previously applied to both Ashland and Portland campuses, not in the same year obviously because it isn't allowed, and got in to both of them.

I realized that getting into all the campuses except the main campus (Portland) is a piece of cake. I never had to worry about getting into Ashland, as my advisor would always tell me beforehand that I would already be in with a 3.9 GPA. So I got in.

However, the year after, when I applied to Portland Campus with a 4.0 GPA, I did not get in even with my CNA license, work hours, and my pre reqs all finished. (I also wrote a fabulous essay).

So I applied to Portland campus again, and eventually got in last year. (I only wanted to go to Portland campus to take full advantage of nursing program).

I believe that Portland campus is probably the best campus to study nursing at because of the obvious NCLEX scores, better professors, and more opportunities (OHSU hospital, events, lectures, etc). It is definitely hardest to get in out of all the campuses and for a reason. I was wondering if anyone agrees/disagrees with my opinion. Feel free to comment and share.

The Linfield RN-BSN program is only online anymore-- my sister is in it currently, and they decided to not offer it on campus anymore

I agree, it is a bit confusing understanding the "bridge" to OHSU. I thought you could opt to start at OHSU your final quarter in the ADN program. Maybe this isnt true.

To do the RN-BSN bridge program you must be a liscenced RN. Which means you need to graduate from an OCNE school, take the NCLEX and pass. Then all you have to do is "apply" which means sign up it isn't competitive. The OHSU RN-BSN is solely online except for on the Ashland campus (that RN-BSN application is competitive) but that will be change to go to solely online.
