Are there any Oklahoma ABSN students out there?

Published

Hello,

I would like some information on the program, how do you like it? Would you pick this school again if you had the chance? I am applying to the program that is being held here in San Diego. I am nervous about the online portion of the program, is it do-able? :uhoh3:

Thanks!

I bought some books on Amazon and they were reasonably priced. They had a lot of used books (which I like!!) The book list requires the 4th edition of the Physical exam and assessment book...on Amazon, they sell the 5th edition. I'm not sure if it's a typo on the book list or if the 4th edition is the required text?? Also, I am hoping to have day clinical hours because of daycare. Is anyone interested in having night clinicals?? Phyllis said that I could find a student to switch with if there were a conflict. If you're interested, it would be nice to know someone to go to rather than send a mass email :-)

are you or did you buy the 4th edition of the physical exam and assessment book by jarvis? its weird that they're not making us buy the latest edition. i think im gonna email kennessa about that cuz i dont want to go to the hassle of ordering the wrong edition. ill let you know what she says.

I did buy the 4th edition but I thought it was weird too.

FYI--I went to Quest on 4th in Chula Vista to do my drug screen. I waited for over an hour...so, if you're tight on time, you may want to pay the extra money and go to the place by Sharp Cabrillo that Phyllis mentioned.

Good to know!!! Its like $12 right? Might be worth it! Thats horrible, especially when you have to go to the restroom! :eek:

Are you guys purchasing all of your books now or just the ones for the first session? I have to wait for loan money to kick in before buying all of them! Also, I really don't want to spend money on the APA style book, are you all buying that? I just refer to the internet when I need something in APA. I was just curious what you all were doing Thanks! :D

Here is a link to a really good and affordable APA formatting program. Having written tons of papers in APA format, I can't tell you how much time and effort you can save with a formatting program. It is a good idea to have the APA handbook handy as well. You *might* need it at times, but the formatting programs cover just about anything you may need.

Did you find out about the 4th/5th edition of the physical assessment book?

Hi There! I applied to the June start as well, but I'm on the alternate list. I did go to the Open House last week & the program seems awesome! Has anyone heard about the clinical schedules from any of the OU faculty? It's been such a pain trying to guess my schedule! Especially since I'm an alternate! All I was told is that I will find out sometime before May 13th!

Are you all buying your books new? It seems like all the used ones are older editions. I would love to save money but I want to be sure I have the right books...I never cared with my other degree in regards to editions of books but I think this will be important in this program. What are you all doing? :D

Hi,

I hope you get in!! They haven't given us any info on the clinical schedules, I believe they will be covering that info on our next orientation 5/13, are you allowed to attend that?

I know how frustrating it is to not know your schedule, I am a planner and like to know everything ahead of time. :D Best of luck!

Has anyone tried to fill out the waiver form for the health insurance again?
