Hello campus colleagues,
The Pre-health Advising team frequently meets with students interested in Nursing who come from a variety of different majors and colleges. We appreciate the referrals and please keep them coming! We have been working on making the pre-nursing track easier to understand for prospective and continuing students. One thing we have been making clear with students from the get-go is that UO’s Pre-Nursing track is longer and more science-intensive than what is required by nursing programs.
Anytime you are meeting with a student interested in nursing please point them to our FAQ page, and encourage them to watch the pre-nursing overview video (also linked in FAQ page) as this will detail some of these nuances. It is incredibly helpful when a student comes to their pre-health advising appointment when they have already watched the video.
In these appointments we will discuss….
- Differences between ASN, BSN, ABSN or Direct Entry Masters or DNP.
- Pros/cons of doing UO’s science intensive pre-nursing track vs. doing pre-recs at community college.
- Financial Implications of ABSN degrees and financial implications for taking pre-recs at the Community college (i.e., cost per credit, dual enrollment limitations due to scholarship/pathway Oregon).
- Develop a graduation plan for students and refer back to major advisors if they are non-stem (we have many PSY, SOC, FHS, and Business pre-nursing students to name a few).
Students can schedule using one of the scheduling options detailed on this page. We will also happily accept e-introductions for warm handoffs.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Thank you!
Kindly,
Sonia Gordillo, MSW (She/Her/Ella)
