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.
How long are you looking at program completion time, I have all prerequisites but can't seem to get a clear answer!
Thanks!!
I guess it would depend on how many courses you take at a time. I have too many pre reqs to take, so it will take me forever. But if you take 2 at a time you should get done in a year I think.

Guys,

Thanks!!
I'm looking at 13 months, if I finish when I think I will. I will have taken a couple classes 2 at a time, although only for like 2 semesters I think. I am planning on taking Chemistry and Cross Cultural somewhere else though. Cross cultural I plan on doing an intercession course this winter.
I've been lurking. Hi everyone, I'm Tracie. Six classes to go in the Ohio U program. Have question for vets of the program. What do you think about doubling up on Diversity and Health Assessment. I just found a list of course offerings through Summer 2014/2015. I need to either double up or change my schedule this November or my completion will be delayed. Thanks for any input.
