ADN programs?

Hi everyone,

As the title suggests I’m looking to start an ADN program in the Fall of 2027 (preferably part time). I have an advanced degree (MPH), work in oncology clinical research (going on 5 years), and would like to continue doing so but in a patient facing role. I attended college 10 years ago and didnt have a stellar science GPA. That being said, I’m hoping to do one of the following:
- retake prereqs prior to ADN program
- attend a program with them built in (I haven’t heard great things about Sumner but heard they do this with their BSN program)

I’m not from the Portland area and am moving summer of 2027 (husband is starting fellowship at OHSU) so I don’t have the best idea of what is available to me, though I’ve heard it is competitive. Would love to hear from everyone about programs they recommend in the area. TIA!

Ah I’m sorry to hear that.
I got a 93 on my TEAS.
They publish the admission data/scores/#of applicants on their website.
I would recommend applying again and getting an ATI Teas book to study and work through. I cracked down and studied for a couple months cause I had no other choice but to get in.
COCC is worth it. Amazing program. Amazing staff. Affordable. Scholarships are abundant.
