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.
Signed up for Ethics in January and Gerontology in Feb. Keep me posted on the Nursing specific Jr comp if anyone takes it. The class Deltaroxxy2 is currently in - business comp - sounds interesting at least. Will take one or the other in March.
OMG please poke me with a cattle prod! I cannot seem to get going this week in 325. There isn't a lot to do but I am severely lacking in motivation. How do you break through these mental writing blocks??? I scored the SMOG forms but can't seem to get past that or even think about the discussion question. I am in slow-mo...
Printed Education Materials...gotta love those accronyms. I think the consequences are like unclear jargon or medicalese pertaining to medication instructions, aftercare instructions, etc. If the info is too advanced for the literacy level then the patient is at risk.

On the 10 week nursing class option. I think they changed the "prefix" or something. Pick nutrition as your search criteria. NUTR 128 is listed.
