It was the last day to do it, but I OFFICIALLY SUBMITTED MY APPLICATION TO OHSU!!!! ?
Anyone else applying for this cohort?
A little about me: I am an older, non-traditional student, single Mama with 8 and 13 year old boys! I currently hold a BA in Psych. I wanted to apply to the ABSN, however, my Statistics class is over 7 years old, and it was also a C. ? I will just have to retake it, if I end up needing to apply next year. This is also my very first application cycle. ?
I feel like OHSU is definitely my top choice, but I will also be applying to Linfield, and possibly Concordia (only because they have an accelerated program, and seem to offer more start dates.
I had my interview for the Klamath Falls campus on Friday! It was nerve racking... Hoping to hear back from admissions around the 20th with the decision.
The waiting is awful!! I interviewed at Ashland yesterday and the waiting is the worst. Fingers crossed for us all! ?

So excited and nervous for you!! Mine is next week. How did you feel about the questions??

I felt good about them! Well, my first one definitely felt like a warmup and then all the ones after I felt really good about. But everyone seemed great so who knows. ? Everyone was so nice and well organized so really eased my nerves.
I had an interview in Klamath Falls on Friday! I feel pretty good about it, won’t know an answer for a couple weeks. This is my 2nd year applying. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone!
I looked up common nursing interview questions, typed up and then re handwrote some basic responses/stories basically. That is what I do before any interview and it helps me a lot. I did the typing a couple days after getting the invite, and then rewrote a few that I expected by hand to get it in to my brain better. In the end, I am glad I did it and overall they were all so friendly that it was way less scary than I hyped it up to be (although who knows how I will feel when I actually find out the decision). ?
Thanks. I've looked up interview questions and tried to formulate cohesive answers, but I also don't want to recite robotic predetermined answers. Who knows if that's better than the word jumble that might dribble out under nervous pressure though. I'd prefer one-on-one interviews, the group setting is unsettling.
For sure. I didn't memorize either, just had general thoughta, but ours were individual. Portland is doing group, yeah? I am sure you will do great. Everyone is nervous and they know that.
I also looked up questions, used notecards to go over them and give myself an idea of what I might say if the question arises, and I did mock interviews as well as some one on one with career services, all which were very helpful!

Hello! I don’t know which campus you applied to but my Klamath Falls interviews were 4 separate interviews all one-on-one. And remember, they aren’t looking for the right answers. They want to make sure you’d be a good fit for the program. As everybody at the interviews is qualified for the position.
