Hi all, This is my first post, and I have a few questions, so bear with me! First, I am a 26 year old single mom, and I will be applying to both OHSU Ashland and RCC for Fall 2014 entry. I'm curious if OHSU conducts interviews for applicants. Also, ...

I made a group for those accepted (and attending)! Search for: OHSU School of Nursing - Ashland: BSN, class of 2017

I was under the impression that if you were on the alternate list, they would indicate your likelihood of being accepted (i.e. "highly likely", etc) in the letter. They won't tell you your number on the list, just give you a label...if that makes sen...

I got my acceptance letter (email) from OHSU Ashland today, too!! We should start a Facebook group for the 3-year BSN program!

My thoughts exactly, Summer.

I've heard great things about RCC. One of the RNs at the facility I did clinicals at just graduated in June and had nothing but positive things to say. She and some of her classmates are completing their BSNs through the OHSU bridge, and it seemed li...

I posted the announcement for the mock interviews which just had a generic image of someone in a suit, Joy. :) I'm gonna go shopping this week!

How did mock interviews go, Joy??

Are you guys on Facebook? I guess everyone is these days...

Joy, will you clarify tomorrow if we will be having applicant group interviews or not? If possible... :)

Ha! I haven't seen those sizes since high school, but thank you for the sweet offer!

Did they say formal dress after you registered, Joy? I hope business casual will be okay for the interview... I can't afford (nor rock) a suit. :/

If I'm asleep by 2am, it's a good day for me. I just can't shut off my brain at night. :/

I was hoping you weren't going to say a suit! My "professional" wardrobe mainly consists of scrubs, so I am limited. Lol. I was thinking pretty much the same: slacks, a dressy top, and a cardigan. Always safe. :)

And I agree about the parenting thing; most of my classmates have been 20 and single and/or childless. They just don't get how hard it is to study with little ones around!! One of my best friends was also a mom of two, my age, and we were at the same...

Is there some way to get notifications when you guys comment on here?? I always feel behind. :) I could be wrong, but I doubt they would confer with RCC to see which applicants applied to both programs. I was kind of thinking (and hoping) along the s...

I have a lot of volunteer experience in the past, but do you really think they'll consider it if it wasn't within the past few years? I'm a single mom of two, and I worked full-time until I started school full-time...there just aren't enough hours in...

I didn't get notification of the mock interview either, Summer. When I checked, there were only 45 "spots" available for those, and they were full. Boo...

I just got out of clinical and checked my email and I was offered an interview, too! Mine is also 4/5 at 12:30. I REALLY hope it's not a group interview...those suck!! Congrats to you two, though! I have so many emotions right now, I don't know what ...

I'm shocked you didn't get in last year!! Makes me nervous... My pre-requisite GPA at OHSU is a 3.87, and I have years of healthcare experience, but I don't feel all that confident. My GPA at RCC is 3.92, but they don't take my healthcare experience ...

I think I would prefer OHSU as well, but I'll just be happy to get in anywhere! I will pursue a bachelors, but plan on going on to grad school eventually. I'm in the CNA program at RCC right now and taking some electives online. Two more clinical day...

I just assumed it would be late March/early April before we heard anything. This term has been really hectic, which is nice in the sense that it has kept me somewhat distracted from this whole waiting process. If you get into both programs, which wou...

Here's what I received: "This is to verify that your 2014 Nursing Program Application for Fall Entry was received prior to the 5 PM, February 15, 2014 deadline. We are currently processing the applications. As stated in the Application Packet, if yo...

Oh, wow!! Well, southern Oregon is pretty beautiful - I'm sure you'll like it here! Keep us updated when you hear from OHSU!

In the confirmation email I received from RCC after my application was received, it said we should be contacted by April 11th to schedule our proctored essays. Time is dragging...
