Ohio University FNP Online?

kelso915 · Mar 27, 2012

I just found out I was accepted to OU's online FNP program for Fall '12. I, too, have been checking this site for any and all feedback regarding their program. I won't begin until August, but I promise to keep you posted about my experience. My advice: Apply ASAP. They are filling up fast for all start dates (ex: no longer accepting applications for Summer or Fall 2012). If you are an OU student you can apply before you finish your BSN. Do it!

Applications are on hold...unable to submit. How long did you have to wait to hear a reply? Good luck to you!:w00t:

Applications are on hold? What does that mean? After everything was done, it took about 3 weeks. 3 very loooong weeks, lol! I was told it could be slightly longer. My letters of recommendations were submitted online. If you do this, which I think you have to, make sure you contact the admissions people after they are all submitted (you will get notification of this via email) so they can mark your file as "complete". I also had all of my transcripts sent before I finished my application, so at least there wasn't a delay in that department. Good Luck!

I can't submit the online application. Beforehand the entry dates did not extend beyond 2012. Now there's a hold on the process. Hmmmm...don't know what's up with that.

Pam told me they weren't accepting apps for 2013 yet but it should open up again around May-June and too keep checking.

Will do...might as well apply to a few. Days like today I aks myself "why do I want to continue on?" LOL!

Ahhh - need to get stuff submitted for this one - think I will apply for fall 2013. Hedging my bets that I get in to one of the other two I am applying to.

OU is at least very reasonable. I just hope the teaching method isn't a continuation of the BSN format. I suspect it is.... :confused:

I recently applied to Ohio U, and I was wondering what your GPA was before you got admitted into the program.

For the BSN program? My BS in another field was pitiful...AAS in nursing was 4.0.

Hello,

So I got into Ohio University's FNP program and I also got into Wilkes University's Adult NP program both for the Fall. Does anyone know if one school is better than the other? Also, how about any pro's/con's of FNP vs ANP? My goal is to work in the ED as an NP if it helps. Thanks!
