Hello everyone, I just received an email and call from the OHSU main office offering me a spot in the ABSN program in Ashland. I must admit I am pretty stoked to get the offer and ready to get started. A quick question for the other applicatnts, how long does it take to complete the compliance materials, I read in one of the included pamphlets that the background check takes upt to 12 weeks, is that correct, if that is right, I will be cutting it close to get everything done before class begins. See you all in a month. Oh yeah, if you are still an alternate don't give up hope, I was pretty bummed but then I got the call, it can happen for you guys too.

were you on the alternate list or a direct admit?

Your welcome, and again congrats, it's good that you are stoked to go. My application is very similar to yours, my cumulative is a 3.5 even, and my prereq is 6 A's and 1 B (if I ace stats and bio which I'm currently enrolled in). I also did poorly my first few semesters but have gotten basically straight A's since; raising your GPA is tough after receiving a few C's. Well the fact that we have similar grades and healthcare experience gives me hope, maybe I'll get my call tomorrow, keep your fingers crossed for me.

Congrats BWright, that is awesome for you. I wish I would have gotten a phone call as well, I wonder if they called everyone at once. Just out of curiosity, what was your cumulative gpa?

Hey Debra, I also applied to the ABSN program in Ashland. I guess we should know something by early April but I have to admit the suspense is killing me. I was bummed to learn that previous healthcare experience has no bearing on admittance as I am already a respiratory therapist; hopefully my grades are good enough...
