Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) ABSN 2020

Published

Hi,

I can’t find a thread for this program so figured I would start one. I was wondering if anyone has got a confirmation their application was received?

Hello! Current Portland ABSN student here, and this is the most up-to-date input I have received from staff re: Summer Term:

All theory based classes (non-clinical) are expected to be online classes. For clinical classes, they are still working out whether small groups will be able to come in for simulations and skill labs (this is what first term AccBaccs do, so this is what would affect you). For continuing students with hospital/community based clinicals, they are saying it has a lot to do with hospital census (are there enough patients for students to really do anything?) and PPE availability (can they spare PPE for students?). For in hospital clinicals, IP students are getting priority over students entering their Chronic and Acute rotations.

I wouldn't expect to hear anything set in stone until 1-2 weeks before the term starts - they are literally taking it one day at a time.

Does anyone have an idea how many people are on the waitlist, or in each category of waitlist?

No idea. Have you been called for a spot?

I don't think anyone has any idea ? Are you waiting for Portland or another campus? I know there are a couple on the waitlist for Ashland, myself included. There is always next year!!

Anyone else on the Portland alternate list get an email saying they might add more spots to the Winter cohort?

Yes they emailed all alternates about it, but I can't imagine they're adding that many spots. Does anyone remember how many were supposed to be in each cohort? Interview day seems like so long ago..

I think 24 Summer, 32 Fall, 24 Winter?
Is anyone who was placed in the “highly likely” category on the waitlist still waiting on a spot to open up?

For Ashland, they said they were going to take 32 total students... 5 would be ABSN-FNP students, and the other 27 would be just ABSN students. I'm not sure if they said the same thing for Portland.

Hey Portland applicants! I just received an email from OHSU offering me admission for the Winter 2021 cohort. Apparently one spot has opened up.

I have already started a different ABSN program so I’ll be declining admission. So luckily there’s at least one more spot up for grabs!

Also, I was originally categorized as a “highly likely alternate”.

I was also offered a spot in the Portland Winter cohort, so I guess they did open a number of spots! I was originally "moderately likely" on the waitlist.

So, I guess it's safe to say that all of us who were "highly likely" alternates for Ashland's 2020 ABSN are unlikely to be admitted to the program? Given that it starts today and all.
