r/OHSU

Hello everyone, I got an opportunity to work at this hospital moving from out of state. I’m hearing that the commute to the hospital is pretty crazy and so is parking. I’ve generally have never had to use public transport before so I’m pretty confused lol. Is the parking reservation pretty reliable ? Any neighborhoods/ apartments buildings you all recommend with an easy commute? . I was touring an apartment at John’s landing, commute looked very easy but the area seemed very sterile. I was thing SE for a mix of living and okay commute? Any thoughts. Thank you guys I appreciate the advice!!!

I was wondering if anyone has any ins to becoming a CNA at OHSU, i have hospital experience and all the qualifications plus i live right across the street, but they take pretty long to get back. If there are any CNA’s viewing this are your units hiring? Or any idea time like wise to hear back? Thanks 😊

If I need to be on Marquam campus twice a week. I live in North Portland. Is it best to just drive and pay to park there or is there another solid second option like parking somewhere in SW and tramming up?

I work for UCSF. The Chief Nursing Officer from OHSU is leaving for my org next month. We’ve had a lot of executive level shake ups in the last 3 years, including a revolving door of CNOs here.

Without any defamation and keeping it respectful, I’m wondering if any OHSU nurses can comment on whether you liked your current CNO and her direction?

A simple “ha, good luck” or “we will miss her, she was great” would do. TIA

I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for the best endocrinologist at OHSU to work with for a newly diagnosed positive GAD antibodies patient, type 1 diabetes, specifically LADA, which can be trickier to work with/understand/diagnose and treat. I'm coming from 5 hours away and hoping to gain some more insight on who might be best for a case like this? Or maybe the whole endo team is amazing? Hoping so, as it's not been great care in my local Oregon area : (

Thank you for any insights or recommendations!

Hi all — was just offered an admin role at the hospital last week. For this kind of role, do they do previous employer confirmations where they are reaching out to past employers to confirm employment? If so, how far back do they go?

I only ask because one of my employers from ten years ago will be hard to track down and I want to try and find a way to satisfy that requirement so my onboarding isn’t stalled.

Thank you!

Hi I’m not sure if this is the right sub but I was wondering if anyone knew about OHSU’s nursing program admissions. I’m a little confused by their website.

I’m a rising senior in high school and I have my pre reqs almost done for OHSU. However if I apply in February then I still won’t have the second and third anatomy and physiology class, or microbiology done.

The website says:
Finish the full anatomy and physiology series by the end of the fall term before your program starts
Complete all prerequisites by the end of the fall term before your program starts

So basically I would apply February 2027 and finish my pre reqs by June 2027. Is that okay? I am a bit confused.

Second part of my question how insane would it be to apply in high school, and is there a way to increase my chances of getting in as a high school student?

Thanks so much!
