Anyone else applying to BADNAP summer 2012 program?

Congrats smiller44! I too didn't think we'd be hearing back this quickly. I live in Moore so I'm a little concerned that I didn't receive a letter yesterday. Hopefully something (preferably good news) will come today!

I got my acceptance letter today!!! I live in Edmond. Did anyone else notice they put 2 different dates for orientation- May 8th and the 18th?

Nope, no letter today. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have good news!

Congrats guys! I will be graduating in less than two weeks! Time flies when you're in badnap!

Congrats to YOU val_kaye! May I ask if you have any tips or suggestions for anything for us?

Now that I got my letter, it is almost surreal, like, this IS happening. I'm a bit scared, actually.

A.Dawn, I did notice this too. I bet it's going to have alot of people confused. I plan on calling the Health Provisions Office next week.

I got my acceptance letter yesterday! Ever since I heard they were mailed out I've been stalking my mailbox, haha. For anyone who wants to know, the letter is post marked February 23. I noticed the 2 dates on there as well. It seems like a typo to me, but I'll call them Monday to find out. I've already signed up for a CPR/BLS course here in Stillwater, but does anyone know of somewhere down in the OKC area you can take it? I'm wanting to get everything done on the checklist ASAP so I can turn in my clinical preferences. Congratulations to everyone who got accepted and also to you val_kye!

Congrats to everyone who got accepted! I too received my acceptance letter on Saturday! I'm waiting to hear back from OU's accelerated, and then I'll make my decision. Regardless, I'm looking forward to starting one of the programs this June--it's about to get crazy!

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 an RN-MSN, but I can't remember how many additional courses you have to take before you can start the actual Masters. Vanderbilt also offers a distance option for some of the programs after you've been an RN for two years. Great school, but it can be pricey.

Does anyone know how many days a week we will be required to be in class or clinicals? I'm trying to figure out when and if I will be able to work. I see the paperwork says Wednesday-Friday. Just wondering if that changes from semester to semester, if there are any other required labs etc. Is there an attendence policy?

Can you give me any idea as to what days a week we will be in class and clinicals. I am trying to figure out what days if any I will be able to work.

I'm still waiting to hear back from OU as well, but have already sent in my acknowledgment to OCCC. Even though it is just an ADN and not a BSN, it's $10,000 cheaper, 4 months quicker and it lets me commute from Stillwater. I would love a BSN from OU, but everyone in my family who is an RN says that just having an ADN starting out will get you the same job as someone who has a BSN. It really starts to matter when you want to move up into the administrative world.

From what I understand class will be 9-4 Wednesday and clinicals Thursday's and Friday's. I have no idea if this changes around or not. All I've ever heard from anyone who has done this program is that you can not work and expect to do well or even pass.

Has anyone figured out the actual date for the orientation. I'm pretty sure it is the 18th, because the 8th isn't on a Friday. I called, but couldn't get ahold of anyone who knew the answer.

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 with OU don't work out. Yep, one of the nice things about this area is that they don't discriminate ADN vs. BSN. Sadly that's not the case in most areas of the US and because my husband is in the Air Force and we'll most likely be leaving here in the next few years, I'll need to get the BSN completed sooner rather than later.
