OKWU or OKBU

OklaLPN · Apr 30, 2008

One thing I would do first is search the BON website and check out the NCLEX pass rate for each school...

Just my opinion:)

thanks oklaLPN:nuke:

i checked their NCLEX pass rates OKBU had 90% and OKWU is just graduating their first students. i would like to go to OKWU but since its still a new school i would have to take my chances and hope it'll be good.

i was hoping i would find someone on here who knew about their programs and could give me first hand information about them

I don't have any first-hand knowledge of either program, but OBU is an established program with a solid reputation. I've been taught by one of their former professors (she taught adjunct in our program, taught at OBU for 24 years, just retired from there) and she is amazing - has tremendous experience and a lot of knowledge to share - if OBU's nursing professors are anything like her then you can't go wrong there. Plus, OBU is fully accredited by NLNAC (National League of Nursing Accreditating Commision) - this is important - and has been accredited since 1960.

On the other hand, OWU is not accredited by NLNAC and from what I could find, the program is not even in candidate status for NLNAC accreditation? I would want to know why & would definitely ask the school about this. So... it's just kind of a red flag to me. I guess I would be hesitant to be in such a new program if I had other options like OBU.
