University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hi All,

I'm new to this site and to the field of nursing. Has anyone gone to this school and if so, what did you think?

I live in San Diego, CA, and there is an online program that this school offers. I'm 3 prerequisites away from applying to the school, with a start date of August 08. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think my GPA was around 3.2 overall, but I had all As for the prereqs I took in the year leading up to the program. I think a lot of the people in the program did well in their pre-reqs and these are probably weighed more than previous undergrad work. I have been in several discussions with fellow students trying to understand the reasoning behind the admissions decisions, but we have not come to any conclusions other than that we just can't figure it out.

I was told they look at your GPA for the last 60 semester units and also your GPA for prerequisite classes.

Anybody on here in the Glendale program for Summer 2009? I'm so excited that I was accepted!

I just barely made the cutoff for the pre-req/science GPA (2.5) and I was accepted. I guess I thought i'd share that for those of you who may be discouraged b/c of your grades, but i'm proof that there is hope! I was nervous that I didnt stand a chance, but like they say, they really do look at your application as a whole.

Good Luck everyone who is still on the prowl for a program...I so know how you feel.

Hey Karebear, thanks for sharing the science G.P.A, I'm just getting started with the Science Pre-Req's, and ended up getting a C+ in my first Human Anatomy and Physiology class with lab, so I was a bit discouraged about that, and my second one ended up being a B- so not off to a great start, I have chemistry with lab and microbiology with lab starting next week, I'm hoping to pull off A's in those classes, do you have any tips for these classes far as studying, thanks Angela

Its Prater. I read she's teaching your Psych class. So yup, same person... great. I wonder if she'll be teaching ours. She really doesn't like me now, oh well.

Yes, I agree, some of those exam questions were tricky... and I've HAD A KID... haha. Its funny what they think you SHOULD ask a patient or say to them, but when I was in the hospital, they did none of the stuff we talk about. Oh well.

Did Prater co-teach your FF course with Farquesan and Murray? And what about pharm - was is Mata and Farquesan? Looks like that is who we have this semester for those courses.

Hi everyone

I was wondering if any of you had to take the TOEFL in order to apply for the program???

Also now that i finshed all my prereq how do I figure out my general, science,last 60 credits GPA/? do they do it for us?

thanks

Yup. It was Prater for FF. I am still unsure of who really is the instructor for Pharm. I mean Mata and Farquharson are on the syllabus/Angel, but we never really knew who answers or reads our emails b/c we never really got responses. I had Farquharson for a clinical instructor and she answered questions when we asked, but in general, emails for that course went unanswered and we were told to post on discussion boards instead.

Yes, Pharm was definitely a "teach yourself" course. I believe that Mata and Farqason were technically our instructors but it was hard to tell. Actually it was better if you didn't know because the only ones who did have direct contact were students who were struggling. Luckily the text book is really well written.

On a postive note at least they have started doing these enrichment days so we know what our lives will be like for the upcomming semester. Maybe they are listening!

Does anyone going into third remember when we get our clinical assignment groups? I can't remember what they said.

Hi Angela, I wish I could be more helpful with study tips for those classes, but it's been so long since I took them and I don't remember what I did (that is worth mentioning at least), but I do remember that Micro was my fave and the easiest for me. I remember it being a lot of memorization as far as the different bacterias and stuff that you'll learn. The best thing I can say is make the best of it...it's actually kinda fun (in a dorky way :wink2:)

Chem on the other hand, not so fun, but a lot of math, which isn't so bad if you're good with numbers. Good luck with those! You can do it.

I was told I had to take the TOEFL since I was born abroad, but I filled out the waiver.

Kennessa or Alexandra should be able to figure out your GPA's for you. I remember them saying they could give "an estimate" so I am not sure what they mean by that. But I think they just say that since they are not supposed to be a part of the acceptance process.

Hope this helps.

wow nobody posts here anymore....

is anyone starting this summer? I finally applied for Fall 2009:yeah:

anyone else????

one more thing...for those of you in the program...is it anything you wished you knew / have when you started this program??? any tips for those of us applying / starting soon?
