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.
By end of day Sunday. These references and citations(web) are gonna be the death of me. I've gone over it and over it. My TA gave us guidelines and I think the differ slightly from APA. I must just send it and give up before I go crazy!
Some of them are different than APA - so I don't know where she is getting them.
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.
No - that class was full. This is business comp with Prof F - and I think it may kill me
Yep! Your very own OU forum. :) Feel free to go to out into the main forum area (Ohio University Online Nursing Degrees) and create individual threads on various classes and topics, rather than adding to this ginormous thread.
I just really want to finish this...soon!!! The spring will be Excellence (455), Business Journalism, and Nutrition (because my class didn't transfer). Then, who knows?!
Hi Boyfactory Did you already take Nutrition and OU didn't accept it.If so why was it not accepted.
No - that class was full. This is business comp with Prof F - and I think it may kill me
Man...I am LOVING Prof P. more and more after reading this? I'm assuming you guys aren't doing a weekly journal, memos, and quizzes. The journals and memos pertained to every day life stuff, so it was easy to write about and the quizzes were just from the assigned reading and you didn't have a time limit once you opened to take.
Well, Module 1 of 335 is behind me. That paper was tiring...finally hit "submit" and will hope for the best. Good luck finishing up everyone...Mod 2 here we come!
