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.
I'm finally getting to the reading for this assignment and hope to do the paper on Saturday/Sunday before I work. I had to drag myself back to the computer after being on break for so long. Then, I decided to start with statistics and Family Nursing stuff first. Glad to hear I don't have to address every single thing, just the ones that are pertinent. It's just 5 weeks...I can do this for just 5 weeks!
You're taking legal, family, and stats...Kudos to you. I would be a basket case. And this is coming from someone who typically doubles up. But you're right..It's just 5wks of insanity!!!

Are you in that business comp class for nurses? If so, can you tell me more about it? I have a friend interested in taking that one vs the 10 week business comp class, but we don't know anyone who has taken it b/c it's a new class.
