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.
Well, I'm looking at late next winter/early spring which will just have to do. There is a summer session when I can't take a nursing class. I'll probably take that cultural appreciation course then. The time will fly...it always does. At least when we look back!
I'll be done next November - and hope to "seamlessly transition" into the FNP program . I also just missed an A in 310. Now wish I had just taken the class because I am BORED!! and afraid I am going to lose my motivation. Will need some cheerleaders come January I am sure.

Well rninme, if you have free time on you hands and want to keep your motivation up, I have a great opportunity for you: I'll send you my 325 assignments. Oh wait a minute, you said you were bored. The 325 stuff makes watching paint dry exciting by comparison.

APA Question: Do you include a doi # and "retrieved from" when citing a document you obtain from the Alice on line library? This APA stuff continues to drive me crazy!

Hi! I just started the rn to bsn program with nrse 300 and 310. I tested out of 310- such a relief! My plan is to take 2 classes at a time and hopefully finish by July 2012. I was wondring if there are any other classes to test out of? Also, how long did it take to get your DARS report? I would like to make sure my calculations are correct. As long as everything transfered (fingers crossed), I should only need 6 more credit hours besides the 50 cr. hrs for nursing courses to graduate.
I found this thread over the weekend and i must say i love it.Wish i would have found it sooner.I totally plan on applying, certainly not looking forward to the application process and all that waiting.Its nice to see you guys going from beginning through.My only question how is it with a mandatory (B) 80% to pass classes?
If I remember correctly, my regular RN program was the same way. If we got below an 80%, we did not pass the class. This is much the same. The classes I have taken so far have been very generous when grading. No worries yet.
I called today. They said because it is officially a Fall class, the grades do not even have to be submitted until November 29! Odd because my first summer class posted right away.
. I also just missed an A in 310. Now wish I had just taken the class because I am BORED!! and afraid I am going to lose my motivation. Will need some cheerleaders come January I am sure.
