Good Luck! I think you have a good shot. I don't know your qualifications or anything but I think there will be a limited number of applicants this year. Plus, the school is very expensive. It is about 70,000 for tuition alone for the program. I use to work up at Doernbeckers and the buzz over the program was minimal. I think it will take a couple of years before it becomes real popular. Let me know how it goes. I've still got a couple years before I apply. I am trying to transition into the ICU from the OR. No job as of yet but I'm persistent.

3-4 Schools sounds like a great idea. If I have difficulty getting into the OHSU program I will heavily research the schools in the areas I wouldn't mind living in. Your advice was great. People forget about us Pacific Northwesterners. Look at the Super Bowl this year; the majority of the U.S. asked "Who are the Seahawks?". Is anyone looking at applying to the new program at OHSU?

I am a Nurse in Washington State and I am looking to apply to the newly developed program at Oregon Health and Science University when I finish off my BSN here shortly and tack on a couple of years of ICU work. I am currently an OR nurse and will start in the ICU next month. Anyways, here is my question. In a few years I will be free to roam the U.S. for my educational needs. I would love to go to school locally but with only one infant school I figure my chances are not extremely high of getting in. Where would you go, or where did you go to school, and why? My inlaws live in Florida which is of interest and I have family in New Hampshire which I wouldn't mind either. Question #2- Do you recommend the shotgun style application process for CRNA school. Meaning, multiple applications to various schools.

Hey all, I'm new to this site and just wanted to say Hi. I graduate in 1 week and have landed an internship at a large university hospital in the OR. My eventual goal is to travel nurse. I was wondering if any OR travel nurse's have any advise for me. Also, I was curious if OR nurse's get paid anymore than med/surg nurse's. No, I am not just in it for the money but I do have bills to pay. Jason
