Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

Updated:   Published

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.

Epic is up for Legal/Ethics - not much to work with there! Very FEW assignments - 2 quizes (15 pts each), 2 three to four page papers (20 pts each) and the group discussion posts, 3 worth 10 pts each.

Where are you finding this info? I logged onto Epic and nothing. Maybe it's been long enough I don't remember how to navigate, lol! Can someone tell me how to access a syllabus? Thank you...Happy New Year!

Click view underneath the name of the class - legal/ethics - that will take you to the getting started section -

rninme, are you going to EPIC? My class isn't in EPIC yet. I'm lost!

yes - my class posted yesterday just after midnight - I'm section 102. My TA has also posted her welcome letter.

rninme - This is the same as in my syllabus: I wonder if we are in the same section?

So the grind begins anew the day after tomorrow. Tell me again why I'm back in school?

I'm section 2-4-102

Okay, so call me stupid but I can't for the life of me find my course info as to section number. Anyone? Thanks.

Your section number is listed on EPIC at the top of the class homepage ... I think I am describing this correctly?? You need to go to your MyOHIO and make sure you are enrolled in this class - it should be listed under winter quarter in academics. Your course info should already be up -

Ooops ... replying to chuckster

Oh, so no course home page yet thus no section number. I guess I'll wait patiently. This must mean I'm not in anyone's class who's already found their course info. Bummmer...:scrying:
