Hi, my name is John and I got my acceptance to George Fox University as well. Starting the Spring 2021. I have created a facebook group if anyone is interested. It will be for our class and it will be a great way to connect before starting the program! The title of the group is “George Fox University Nursing Spring 2021.” So request to join and let’s meet each other. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! please also reach out to me at [email protected] look forward to meeting everyone sincerely, John

Hello everyone, It has been some time since I posted last. Just wanted to give you all an update. I applied to Concordia St. Paul's ABSN program in Portland around September/August timeframe and was around 14th on the waitlist. The very next week I moved from 14th spot to 3rd. I had pretty high hopes of being in the fall cohort, however I had a family medical situation so I asked to be considered for admission into the Spring cohort beginning in January. During this time Concordia had a rolling admission, which basically meant if I didn't get in the fall I would be certain to start in the Spring. Upon the start of the Fall cohort, I learned that the program was going through an evaluation to retain their accreditation and that this would affect the cohort beginning in the Spring (lucky me). Basically, because of this evaluation there is a possibility of having to take additional pre-reqs as well as the TEAS test instead of the Kaplan and also reapplying to the university's program. This of course is worse case scenario, however, I leaning towards Murphy's law. That is basically the gist of everything at the moment. I would love to start this program and just get going with my life in nursing but, I definitely plan on having a backup plan in light of everything going on with the program now. I hope this forum is helpful to you all and gives you a little better insight into this program. always respectfully, John

Hello everyone, I also applied to the ABSN program and currently also waitlisted. I have pretty high hopes because I’m also relatively high on the list as well. For anyone that is applying or has applied I have created a facebook page titled “Concordia CSP ABSN Portland Fall 2020” so if there is anyone that has been accepted please add yourself to our page. At this current moment, we only have two members but expected to grow in time. Please connect with us, looking forward to nursing with you all. respectfully, John
