Wow! I had read something on here a few weeks ago about the Masters program doing this but now they are doing this with the BSN program now, huh?

This is awful! I hope everyone who has taken even one nursing course at OU is grandfathered in. I am so sorry for you. So glad I am almost done with that place

Does this apply to people who live out of state and are almost done with the program? I still have 4 classes left and I live in North Carolina. You think they would have emailed us or something?

I would assume folks like us who are well into the program would be excluded. I suspect the SON will receive hundreds of calls this week. What a mess...

I do not know who it 'applies' to. I think if my advisor knew anything about it would of not told me to take classes i asked about, but then again you never know! . Again this was on the ohio BSN facebook page and this person applied in august and hadn't heard anything and that is the response they sent her.

Wow! I have four classes left, and since I was able to register for spring, I'm hoping it doesn't apply to me. I'm in Colorado.

Glad I am done. Those already enrolled should be exempt from these requirements.

Wow all I can say is WOW! Hopefully we are exempt. Otherwise, they will have to reimburse me for my time and money!!
