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.

Do you mean the head to toe assessment for module 5?? I didn't get any new information. As a matter of fact I posted 2 questions yesterday and the TA has YET to answer them.

Yes - someone in my section posted a question to the TA on Sunday. The head to toe is for the 10-week class is my guess.

So rninme, do you get to chill for the next 5 weeks?

LOL - I hope to finish my clinical requirements for SAFE/SANE and I have 3 emergency nursing pediatric courses to teach. But - no school work which is my present to my "other half"! Complains that I am cranky and he never sees me :uhoh3:.

I did some quizlets then found the Jarvis on line evolve site to be extremely helpful. Don't have a studen manual. But do those quizzes over and over if you miss some so you'll get the stuff in your head. I was 2 pts from an A but I'd settle for a B-! Did you see where we can check what we missed?

I looked under review but I didn't see anything marked as wrong? Where is the "check" button at?

No review button. They don't let you know on test what you got wrong.

That doesn't do much for the learning process, now does it?!

This is a huge weight off of us!! I looked at the resourse pages and those slides are gone. Do they have any idea the anguish they caused?!?! lol. Maybe now I will relax a little and actually learn something.

I just took the test out for Appraisal, only got a 74. Fingers crossed for a curve to pass me. :) That test was a bit excessive.

Hoping it curves for you. Yes - it was a bear, but most of the questions were directly from the online quizes and from the study guide.

Just noticed this was your first post!!!! Welcome to the thread!!

Tested out of 310 too-got a 90%!!! I'm so happy!!!
