Hi! Ive been looking for any Cox students but I dont think theres a lot on here :/ Anyway, Im applying for the ABSN program for spring 2013! I am going to interview next week and am really nervous! Anyone going through similar situation or have advice/opinion on the school?

Wow, you are awesome! Thanks so much for all the info and looking forward to meeting all you guys in a few weeks!! :)

Well, a few of us were actually wanting to come talk to your class when you come for orientation in a few weeks. The class before us did that and we'd like to keep that as somewhat of a tradition. The first few weeks of your Spring semester will be pretty busy but doable. You'll have three classes in your first eight week block, two seated classes and an online class. Please pass this information to your fellow classmates so everyone gets this help. 1) Get yourself a calendar and keep track of everything. It is easy to lose track of assignments, clinicals, and tests if you just "wing it". 2) Financial aid DOES NOT cover all of your tuition. You will have to find a way to cover the difference through personal/private loans. We lost a student because she could not get a private loan. It was really sad because she did well in all of the classes up that point. 3) Start a PRIVATE Facebook group that you guys can all communicate through. 4) Use Google Docs to create study guides as a class--we didnt figure this out until last term and we wish we would have done it a lot sooner. Google Docs will let every one do a section of a study guide in a fast amount of time. Most people participate and help out. 5) Cox College will require papers to be written in APA format. I had no APA experience from my first degree. There is this software called PERRLA that is a lifesaver. It will create your title page, format your headers, create citations, and do your reference page correctly. It is $30 and worth every penny. One person can download the software and share it with two other computers/users so that's what we did. We also found out about this later in the program---wish we knew it starting out. You will lose a lot of points if your APA is messed up so this helps your overall grade.
Great tips!

Getting close to orientation! I am excited to meet everyone.

Hi! I was accepted to the ABSN program and start Jan 2013. I saw from your post that you live in Branson and I do as well (Hollister but close enough). I wondered if we could possibly commute--just thought I'd throw the idea out there. I work at Mercy ER in Spfld and have some crazy shifts every other week but that could be worked thru! Anyway, if you get this and want to then email me -
