I'm pretty sure that $55,000 is including what they think you will need to live, including housing, etc. The estimated tuition was still around 39,000 in state.

I applied to the midwifery program at OHSU three times before I got in. The first two times, I called and spoke to admissions and they were happy to tell me where I was weak.

I'm 32. (31 at time of application)

I was also told that it is much easier to get in to the midwifery program if you already have your BSN. In fact, when I asked about it before I applied last fall, I was told that the previous year, they had more than 100 applicants for the ABSN to Mi...

Ah, for some reason I just got this now -- I had to notify them by March 16th, and they deposited my check on the 22nd.

I got my acceptance letter on Tuesday!! No phone call for me, either.

I just got my acceptance letter for the OHSU accelerated bachelor's to master's in Midwifery (starts in June) on Tuesday, but I haven't heard back from the accelerated bachelor's program yet (also starts in June). When I had my interview, they told m...

I thought I would start a thread for anyone who's applied to start a grad entry program in 2011 to post about interviews, acceptances, etc. I've applied to the midwifery programs at OHSU and Seattle University, and I'm waiting to hear whether or not ...

Well, a friend of mine got her acceptance to the OHSU grad-entry midwifery program yesterday, and I didn't get anything yesterday or today, so I suppose that means I'm probably out. Has anyone else heard? I haven't yet heard back from Seattle Univers...

I actually only completed three quarters at OSU (we had to move out of state, so I'm in the midst of re-applying to programs here). However, even with two young kids, the schedule was difficult but manageable. Depending on when we scheduled (do it th...

A couple of questions about graduate school interviews... 1. Obviously you want to look nice and put together, but is this a suit-and-tie kind of thing or a slacks-and-a-sweater kind of thing? Does it matter the area of the country? I live in Portlan...

I just got my invitation to interview from Seattle U! So excited!

Anyone heard anything yet? I heard from OHSU -- they told me they are no longer doing interviews, and they will not be sending out acceptance letters until APRIL! GAH! Still haven't heard anything on an interview at Seattle U. Good luck to all of you...

I have never come across any nursing program that didn't have prerequisites. Every accelerated BSN/grad-entry MSN program has the same standard prerequisites (microbiology, A&P) and some have additional ones (stats, chem, nutrition, growth and de...

I took stats last fall -- not nearly as bad as expected:)

ahhh, what brings me to midwifery...where should I start??! hahahaha Part my own experience with labor and birth and part a firm belief that education and empowerment of women with regards to their reproductive health is the best way I can personally...

I heard back from SU this morning -- said they would be notifying those applicants who got interviews at the end of the month. I guess that's not too much longer!

Have you heard anything from SeattleU? I sent an email to the admissions department today asking if they'd sent out invites for interviews yet, but I haven't yet heard back.

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Hey all! I just sent in my applications to the grad-entry midwifery programs at OHSU and Seattle University. Now begins the wait. I figured we could all commiserate together until March or so, and then we can hopefully all celebrate!! To what program...

Grad school financial aid is pretty much the same as undergraduate, only with different amounts allowed for subsidized loans if you qualify for them. Fill out your FAFSA and you should be good to go as far as loans are concerned. I would talk to the ...

Yes, that must be my problem -- my only "birth experience" is my own. I have pre-reqs of 4.0/undergrad of 3.9 and a 1300 on the GRE, and I know my recommendations were good. I have been a peer breastfeeding counselor, which I thought was good enough,...

Hey all you who were accepted into the OHSU midwifery program...I applied for the 2009 cohort and was put on the waiting list. I was accepted into and started the program at Ohio State, but now my husband has been transferred to the west coast so I'm...

I'm a nursing student researching my patient for tomorrow morning's clinical and have come across an abbreviation on the nursing worklist that I can't figure out. It is regarding her insulin injection and is "QACHS". I searched online and can't find ...

That is definitely the sort of thing that gets quicker and easier with time! I'm not a nurse yet, but it sure seems like some of the other replies had some good ideas. What I would love to know (if you don't mind) is how and where you got a job in L&...
