Hello! Anyone going to be joining me in Monmouth this Fall for OHSU?? I haven't heard of anyone planning on going there except myself and I was trying to see if anyone was out there, but just hadn't spoken up. Good luck to everyone on the alternate ...

Unfortunately, yes. But it was over a period of 6 years that I applied 4 times. If I had applied back-to-back years, had finished all my pre-reqs, not gone back to school to get a BS in Community Health & Health Sciences and had "life" happen i...

I hope so too!! I did apply to 5 other schools (this was my fourth round of applications!) and got into OHSU-Monmouth, wait listed for U of P (like 68th on the list) & rejected from 4 others (OHSU-ABSN, Linfield ABSN, U of CO Denver ABSN & C...

You are most certainly NOT too old for nursing school!! I know of applicants/students who are in their 50s/60s. It's all about how much drive and gumption you have. My mother is 54 and has been a nurse for 30+ years and still loves it. It's never ...
Andie, Congrats! I have a friend who went through the Linfield program (accelerated) and loved it. She felt well-trained and loved it. SO I don't believe you would regret going there by any means. On the other hand, as someone who was also accep...

It's true about nursing being more about having tenacity and persistence than being perfect. I have been working on nursing pre-reqs and trying to get into schools over a period of 6 years (got my BS in something else along the way) and finally got ...

It really depends upon the program you are applying to for the BSN. I talked about my long-term goal of becoming a NP in my essay for the BSN program I just got accepted into, but I know that the program I applied to has the NP program I want to eve...
Just a word of encouragement, you don't have to have a 4.0 to get in. I didn't. I had a 3.68 or so in pre-req grades ... I do have a previous degree in Community Health & Health Sciences, but other than that, lots and lots of volunteer work and...
Amen to that!! I'm living proof of that after 4 years of applying because today I received my acceptance letter as well ... and since this is the only school that's accepted me out of 5 so far, I'm going!! I feel soooo blessed. Also, I thought I'd ...

Some friendly advice from someone who's applied twice to OHSU's accelerated BSN program..... the majority of their applicants have either A) a 4.0 gpa in their undergrad, & prereq grades and have done some spectacular things like Peace Corps in ...
This year they had over 775 applicants for the 5 campuses & accepted 165...... I received that information in an email sent to me through a site that sent OHSU my info (capex? I think it's called). They made calls for the accelerated program b...
I got the same email as well..... and since this is the 4th school I'm to hear from, I am super anxious since my options are running out! Which program did you apply for? I applied for the WOU branch...
good news to all those applying to Linfield and who haven't heard anything yet..... according to the Portland Admissions Facebook page they letters are going out in batches... some were sent Tuesday, some were sent prior to that...... the admissio...
Well I can't compete with that...... no wonder I just got my rejection letter from OHSU's accelerated program. LOL. Thanks for the insight though, it puts things into perspective.
a 3.7 GPA is a great GPA....... don't give up hope! OHSU has always been known to be super picky....... Linfield probably takes the most well-rounded approach to accepting students ... good luck!
