   I can't find the facebook group...does it take a day to get it approved? As far as the textbooks I went with the alumni textbook w/ ebooks option. Yeah they're more expensive, but everyone I've talked with has said the e-books are a life-saver when ...

   I'm pretty sure that like someone said in an earlier post, no news is good news when it comes to the background reports or specimen reports. I think I sent mine in the same week we received our letters and I haven't heard anything, so I assume all i...

   Scott--would love any advice you have. A few things specifically..do you have any of the syllabus's or the reading assignment lists for the first summer? I know once we start it'll be crazy, and I'd like to have some of the readings completed. Did...

   I honestly didn't know for sure if I'd want the OU slot, but when I opened the acceptance letter I knew OU was the best choice. However, both are great programs so deciding between the two wasn't the worst problem to have. Hopefully us giving up ou...

   I am in the same situation. Can't write too much now, but my advice would be OU if you have the time and means. If you want to talk feel free to send me your number. My husband and I are out right now but will be back later. The clinical director I w...

   Congrats to everyone who was accepted and made the alternate list! I hope you alternates get great news soon--I was an alternate last year for the traditional program, and I remember how hard it was waiting--hang in there! I was never told where I ...

   Congrats to everyone who got in! I too received my acceptance letter to the ABSN in Oklahoma City! I'm about to place my deposit and start checking off items on our to-do list!

   Pedioncodreams--I was finishing Chemistry and Statistics. Of course I have nothing to do with the nursing program decisions, but if OU doesn't accept you they're crazy. I wish OU had told me how much priority they place on residency status last yea...

    I too wish OU would factor experience into their decision. I assume OU wants to maintain their reputation for being a solid nursing program, and nursing students with prior healthcare experience seem to me like they would increase the retention rate...

    Here's an email I just received from the OU advisor, "I just checked with your Admissions Coordinator. She said the letters should leave campus tomorrow. They are inputting decisions today." I think the operative word in this email is "SHOULD." Hop...

    Check out www.customtrainingsolutions.net. They're located in OKC, and are certified through the American Heart Association. The class only took about 3 hours. My certification is good through Aug 2013, but I feel like I need to review it because ...

    I'm so sorry for freaking you out about that from last year! I hope it's not the case this year! But if anyone does not get accepted this year, my advice would be to get a job at one of the hospitals in the area as an aide. (I'm partial to Baptist,...

    The date for the orientation is the 18th of May. When I dropped off my acceptance and clinical preference list the advisor stated they will be sending out another letter correcting the mistake. I'm holding my spot in the OCCC class in case things wi...

    Also, I checked OU's Master's program requirements and they currently don't allow ADN's to go straight into a Master's program, so maybe that's changed recently. At OU you have to complete the RN-BSN before you can start a Masters. Vanderbilt does ...
