OHSU School of Nursing

For nearly a century the OHSU School of Nursing has offered the Northwest’s best educational programs for nurses and nurse-educators. With campuses in Ashland, Klamath Falls, La Grande and Portland – and through distance-learning programs throughout Oregon, Utah and Montana – today the school is the premier regional nursing program and a national model of excellence.

Your gift can help the school to advance curriculum, enhance vital research, and attract and retain talented students and faculty.

Featured Priorities:

Scholarships

In the years ahead the school will continue to shape the future of nursing for Oregon. To do so, we must attract and retain outstanding students and help them afford their dreams.

Nearly 40 percent of incoming students are ineligible for federal grants because they’ve earned previous degrees. More than 30 percent of nursing school applicants who declined acceptance to OHSU cited cost or lack of financial aid as the determining factor. Tuition costs alone are currently $12,000 per year for undergraduates and $15,000 for graduate students. The average tuition-related indebtedness for graduating nursing students is more than $28,000.

Henrietta Doltz Puhaty Lecture
Mrs. Puhaty was director of the School of Nursing from 1944 to 1956. She is fondly remembered for her passion for nursing as well as her personal connection to each nursing student during her tenure at the school. She was also acknowledged in the Portland community for her many civic contributions. Upon her passing in 1985, Mrs. Puhaty’s family established an endowment for an educational lecture for the school.
