The facebook group is called University of Portland Bachelor in Nursing Students - Spring 2013 Cohort. We have 3 people so far! :)

Yes, thank you! Definitely a huge relief :) Yes, I also applied to 2 OHSU programs (the 3 yr. BS and the Accelerated BS) and applied to PCC. I have a prior bachelor's degree in Biology, but took some other necessary prereqs (A&P, Psych, etc.) at PSU and PCC. How about you -- did you apply elsewhere? What are some things you've heard from U.P. Nursing grads you know?

Hi Reid, Me too. I need to call FinAid and talk this through with someone, but I am a little nervous about being able to get enough loan $. I have a prior degree so didn't get much from the gov't. I do not have the Prov Scholarship. I will have to take out loans for pretty much all of it...

Thank you!!! :-)

Hi everyone, I am also on the ABSN waitlist and have not heard anything. I gave up my spot to Monmouth's 3 yr program to stay on the Accelerated waitlist. I was accepted off U of P's waitlist last week (it can happen!) and will plan on going there unless I hear from OHSU ABSN. Crossing my fingers for everyone!!

Hi Austin! I was just accepted off the waitlist last week! I am so excited. I will be sending in my deposit soon. I just went on FB and found the group you created. Looking forward to meeting you and the rest of our cohort!

Thank you so much for your input, llh5057!! Congrats again on being in the program and thanks for the helpful info!

aprilshower.emma - Not certain but I think the date was May 1st (tomorrow)?

Thanks so much! Have you heard anything from KFalls? Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

Thank you aprilshower.emma for the links!! Not sure which program, I sent in the form to OHSU saying I wanted to still be considered an alternate for the ABSN. The BSN deposit is due by May 10th. If I say yes to the BSN my spot on the ABSN waitlist is cancelled... I am going to see if I hear anything about the ABSN before next week? Thanks for your help!

hey emma - where did you find out more information? is it helpful to talk to OHSU? I am nervous about $$ as well...

hey happiness - yes I just received a packet 2 or 3 days ago in the mail. Way earlier than I was expecting too! I thought we had to wait until June or the end of May at least. which campus did you apply to?

Hey aprilshower.emma - thanks! Congrats to you too and everyone else who made the waitlist. It sounds like we should feel pretty good about getting that far, considering how competitive it is right now. I have 2 B+ out of 3 A&P classes at PSU (2 B+, 1 A), and didn't realize how much that would affect my GPA ranking with everyone having 4.0's. Have you applied to other programs? I am on the U.P. waiting list too. I just heard from OHSU-Monmouth and was accepted there for the 3 yr. program. The ABSN would be my top choice.

Also on the waitlist!

Hi everyone! I am new to posting on this website... I am also on the OHSU ABSN waitlist. I hope we hear something soon after May 1st!
