Hey everyone! Haven’t seen any threads for 2 year community college programs and OHSU’s 3 year program for the fall 2020 start in the Portland area yet.
Hoping this can be a place we all can speak about the process of applying.

Hi! I applied to the 3 year BSN program at OHSU. I’m anxiously waiting to see if I am lucky enough to land an interview. I’m so nervous but also very excited. ?
We should be hearing back from OHSU within the next two weeks! then pcc at the end of March. Hopefully we all get interviews.
I’m so nervous! I’m surprised I can’t find any other threads about OHSU’s 3 year program. I wish we could connect with others.
there is one more thread that I found but it’s not as active as the previous years cohorts were.
Here’s to hoping for a lower number of applicants this year? I believe this year is the first time they admitted 3 cohorts for their ABSN program. ?? ?
Did not hear that, I know there is a push for nurses in the area (I work in the EMS system locally). The shortage is getting worse. I hope all the community colleges accept more people as well. I think pcc has only been accepting 30 people a year. Wish they would have a Spring and fall cohort.
I believe they added a Winter cohort to their ABSN program that wasn’t previously an option. I applied to the ABSN a couple of months ago but didn’t make the cut. Hoping my chances are better for the 3-year.
Ah, sorry to hear that. If you don’t mind me asking what are your stats?

I applied to OHSU (Ashland), as well. I'm pretty much at a point where I can't make my application a whole lot better, so I've got my fingers crossed this is FINALLY my year!
I have a 3.85 prerequisite GPA, previous bachelors degree, 3+ years medical experience as an EMT and medical assistant and all my prerequisites are completed. Here's to hoping that's enough to get an interview!
Glad to see another EMT applying. Hopefully we are all up to par. Last year the got invitations about 3-4 weeks before interviews so I’m expecting either end of this week or next week for Portland campus. Also be prepared to have video interviews. I read that certain campuses are doing those due to 19co-v
Thanks for the heads up about the possibility of video interviews. That would be a bummer though, I definitely feel more confident with in-person interviews!
