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.
Statistics was hard but it helped that I had friends taking it too. I think I will finish with a B. Im ok with that considering my expectation was to get a 293.33 in the class ( C ).
LOL...I just knew I failed after the mid term. Literally ran out of time. I think they curve a lot. When I got a B on it, I felt a whole lot better. Definitely a class I would not want to EVER repeat...LOL
Does anyone know when the health assessment class will post? Do they generally post this early. I hate to rush break but I would just like to get prepared. Also... can someone tell me how to quote someone in a message?

Typically by next Wed/Thurs...But you really can't access much until class opens the following Monday at midnight.
How long after Monday is the start date for the test out option? For all of you who have taken it, was it hard? Now that they have raised the grade requirement it obviously will be more difficult to pass. Im a little nervous. Does anyone have any study tips?

Had to take it by the Wed, just in case you didn't pass still gave you time to do module 1. Get results instantly. Definitely not easy. I gave some tips a few pages back and a quizlet link. You really have nothing to lose so don't stress. You do bad, you take the class that you had already planned to take. You do well you get a 5wk break.
