Hi! I live in Portland, OR and want to apply for OHSU's accelerated bachelor's program for nursing, but there isn't a lot of information out there on it. I've browsed their website, but it doesn't answer all the questions I have. I would love to know exactly what they judge you on in order to get in. I know your GPA and essays are extremely important, but do they care if you have had work history, or your CNA license or not? I don't have any experience, but have a 4.0 so far in my pre-reqs, and a 3.6 in my previous bachelor's degree (in a social work field). Anyway, I want to apply for the program to enter it in the summer of 2012, so I can finish up my pre-req's and what not. I am just wondering what else I need to do, because I really want in. Also, how much does it cost, and being accelerated, is it 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, or what? I have two kids I'm going to need to find childcare for while I'm in school, so I just want to know what I'm in for. anyway, if you can help me answer any of these questions, I would so greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing the wonderful news! Did the admissions dept specify how (i.e; call or email) they will be notifying alternates for the ABSN program? Have a great day
You know I didn't think to ask, I was just so excited that they hadn't started (since I hadn't heard :)) and that they were starting today! What I understand from least last year is they called first, and upon a verbal acceptance would send out an admissions packet following the phone call. Hope that helps! :)
nurse4ev, Thank you for bringing about renewed sense of hope :) I am hoping for the best outcome for all of us alternates who have blogged on this website! Fingers crossed
Thank you everyone! I am wishing the best of luck to the rest of us still waiting to hear! Yes, it was a phone call and I got it at around 10:30 this morning. :)
