Since it seems that there's quite a bit of interest, I'm attempting to start a new thread devoted exclusively to the OU on-line RN-BSN program that will hopefully build on the comments on assorted previous threads.
I'd like to ask nevergonnagiveup, mtsteelhorse and babynurse73 - all of whom (I think) are either already in the program or have applied for admission - to post about their experiences. I just sent in my application and plan to post periodically about relevant issues. If we can populate the thread with good material, it could become a very useful resource for both those considering the OU program and students already in it. Once that happens, I'd hope we could prevail upon the forum moderators to make it a sticky thread.
As indicated, I've only recently applied to the program. So far, I'm happy with the support and information I've gotten. I've been contacted by an OU "enrollment specialist" who was somewhat helpful (I suspect that they have dual roles, one being to provide basic information to prospective students and the other to follow-up with the prospects and help to fill the roster for the program). This person e-mailed me, followed up with a phone call and was able to provide some useful, if basic, information about the program. I also sent a lengthy e-mail to OU with quite a number of specific, detailed questions. This too resulted in both an e-mail and telephone response, this time from an academic advisor in the OU School of Nursing. Again I received some useful and quite helpful information. All in all, my early experience has been pretty positive.
As indicated above, I plan to post about relevant issues that come up as I work my way through the admission and evaluation process. I'd very much like to hear from others about their experience with OU and I'm sure that there will be a lot of interest by others in our collective experience with the program.
Not sure about the itemized bill, but I'd be happy with just my grades... My employer won't give me education assistance until I turn in my grades, which we don't get until the end of the entire semester. So far, I'm out over $2,000 waiting for them (OU, not my employer). It wouldn't be so bad if I didn't need to start shopping...
I'm assuming my grade is the grade I received on the test. No curve I heard. Oh well, 3 classes down! Let's keep checking. With the holiday I bet things are behind schedule. I suspect grades will be posted early next week.

Grades must be in by November 30th per OU's website. I just checked and my grade is in for 310. I logged into MY OHIO acct. (same place we register for our classes) and my grade was there.

Has anybody ever been able to get an itemized bill for their employer??? I can't seem to find the right place and the school won't send you anything!.
