Congrats! Regis is a great school!

Yeah I would agree with Viva, that drive from Camas to North Portland might not be too bad if you hit it early enough in the morning but get closer to rush hour and it can be a mess headed south in the morning and north in the evening. This would be using Interstate 5, I don't think taking Interstate 205 into town will be much better. Getting into North Portland is not the issue taking I-5 but if you have clinical sites down south depending on the time it can make it hard. So long story short just look at the pages she posted and check it out. There are not too many really bad areas to live in Portland. To get an idea of prices for places you could look at Craigslist, and look for University Park, North Portland, or St. Johns those should help direct you, but be careful as some places they list are not that close to the University and they include the tag for those areas but are farther out.

Congrats Jellyfeesh!

Nevermind I got it now, I think the Open Closed thing had something to do with it.

Ah ok I was typing in the full name not UPSONSpring2015

Tried to seach for it on Facebook and did not see it. Is "University of Portland School of Nursing Spring 2015 " the complete name is it different?

That's odd. I live in Spokane and got my mailed letter on Friday and I think it was post marked on the 5th or so. I guess call the school if you are wondering. They also emailed me on Fri morning saying I was in contingent on having History and Stats, both of which I have done already so I just need to sort that out. Yeah those biblical history classes are hard to find matches for, a lot of my friends who would like to go to UP struggle with finding comps for them. I am currently registered for Bio Chem and Eng 101 for next qtr but now might switch to something else, I would be curious to see if there is another class I can take now or next fall to lessen the load at UP.... All I have done this weekend is think of the nursing program and read this site .... its becoming unhealthy haha. Hope all you guys are doing well and good luck to all.

Congrats to you as well Viva, Yeah I was told the number of applicants has decreased over the last few years, still well in the hundreds but less then before. Yeah the process seems like luck, skill, and witch craft to me, but for now I am in and sooo thankful for it. Now to just focus on finishing my O chem class.... even if I don't need it.... and I really don't like Chem... oh well, I look forward to meeting you this spring as well. Good luck to those on the wait lists!!!

yeah its a huge weight off my shoulders, Also a nice validation of all that hard work in the pre reqs, I am currently still in Organic Chem as some of the schools required it. Its not an easy class for me and now that I got in I have to resist slacking in it... oh well. Congrats to you as well Nette and I too look forward to seeing you in Jan.

I was accepted into the UP 15 class. Super excited, I keep checking my email to see if its some cruel dream and they sent it by mistake. I currently live in WA but lived down in Portland for 10 years and have a prior degree from UP so that might have helped my chances... If you guys have any questions about the school or Portland area let me know. Jared

I was accepted into the Spring 15 group. A little surprised to be honest, I guess I just did not think I had a shot given how competitive Nursing Schools Application processes are. I think I read they take somewhere in the range of 80 -100 transfer students on other UP links on this site. I might have had a better chance getting in as I am a Post-Baccalaureate student with a prior degree from UP. I also lived in Portland for about 10 years so I am pretty familiar with the city and areas if you have any questions feel free to contact me. Jared
