Mackenna found endless support from the OHSU nursing faculty at the Ashland campus. And, she’s come to rely on her classmates as well.

“They say nursing is a team sport. And I’ve really felt that with my peers and the friendships we’ve built and time we’ve spent together outside of class.”

OHSU’s Ashland campus offers two paths to become a nurse: a 3-year B.S. in nursing program and a 15-month accelerated B.S. program for students with a previous bachelor's degree.
