@okurilen how many pages are most of the papers. I'm thinking about applying soon. Are they like 10 page papers, more or less?

I used Ohio for my BSN.. they give deals thru employers. I had tuition reimbursement. Many of my colleagues also used Ohio. It was the most reasonably priced school I could find. I don’t have one complaint about them. I did 1 class at a time so not to become overwhelmed with work/ school/ family balance. Basically classes consist of weekly discussion boards, writing papers (APA format which I bought a program to help with),,some classes have timed tests. It is Not to difficult- you just have to make the time. My hardest class was statistics ( not my forte) but I passed❤️. Feel free to reach out with questions and Good Luck.

@melodywei there is a facebook group that you can join. People are more active on there. I just started the program. So far so good.

@sillymu I tried searching for the group but cannot find it. Can you reply with the link. I am seriously considering the program. Thank you.

Specializes in Bottom wiping.

Hi,

I just enrolled in the OU RN-BSN and start 4510 soon.  I'm going to be working full-time during this program.  Can anyone who has completed it offer suggestions or things you wish you had known about the course prior to starting?  Study suggestions? Anything helpful?  Are there a lot of deadline changes?  I'm trying to be as prepared as possible, thanks in advance!

Specializes in ICU.

I completed my BSN at Molloy College in NY but I would think most courses are the same for Dual-Degree. I was a health science major turned BSN RN. 

Prioritizing and scheduling was key for me in school.

Good resources is also key in school.

The only thing I wish I had known before was just how fast 5 weeks goes by. It's nice, but draining sometimes. I finished in 10 months. I worked 3 12s through the first 5 months and then went outpatient to 5 8s while also still working PRN in the hospital. Once you get in a groove and know what to expect it's pretty simple. I also don't have kids so if you do that might make a difference in your experience. I never studied. You're mostly writing discussion posts and short papers. Learn APA format or get a citation tool like mendley. DO NOT WASTE TIME BUYING THE TEXTBOOKS! You're only in the course for 5 weeks. You can typically find the book as a PDF online for free or for less than $10. Some past students even offer to send them to you if you ask on the facebook group.

If you're on facebook the group is very active so I suggest joining. Lots of tips and tricks there. Sometimes people have the PDF textbooks posted to the groups for the specific courses so you don't have to worry about finding them. https://www.facebook.com/groups/OhioUniversityRNBSN
