Re: Accelerated OU program and two small children

Steph-

I applied in December and was accepted to the May 09 program so mine was about a year and half. I am taking the three nursing courses now.

My interview was waived as well, however my gpa is actually not that great for those courses. I was 18 and so clueless when I took over half of the classes that go toward the gpa for acceptance.

When you apply (at least in Dec and prior) you apply with a preference semester about a year out and if it fills up with people with better gpa's like malenurse then you would get into the second semester.

I also heard they are changing the process and am very curious as to what they are doing diferent now.
I would be curious to hear what they changed.

Re: Accelerated OU program and two small children

Thank you for the reply. I am not aware of any changes....yikes!
I think I will have to e-mail Kristina to find out this information.
Some of my pre-req grades are not that great either. I too was 18 when I took Bio 101 and Chem 101. Did you ever think that those grades would come back to haunt you years later? :-) I have a finance degree so I never thought the grades I got in my science classes would ever matter!

Congrats on getting into the progam! I still have to take BIO 121, but I'm thinking of retaking BIO 111 since it was such a long time ago that I took that class. I don't want to feel lost in anatomy.

Also, are you currently pregnant right now? I can't remember what you wrote in your last post, but that would make sense if you are going to have a one year old when you start the program. Congrats on that too.
I too have thought about having another baby, but I'm so nervous about school. Sometimes I feel like I'm choosing...Nursing degree or another baby. Anyway, I'm sure you had similar feelings. But, I'm glad to see that you are doing it.
Thank you and to malenurse for the heads up on the possible changes. I will try to get some information for myself ASAP.

Steph
