Hi! if you don't mind me asking, was it hard finding a job with an associates in nursing? I am debating whether to obtain first my associates in nursing or bachelors. I am going to OSU-OKC for sure for my basics and i know they have an EXCELENT nursing program but i am conficted on which path to take. I would really appreciate your feedback on your nursing journey :)

From what I know, a hospital will hire you whether you have an associates or bachelors degree. Both take the NCLEX to get licensed as an RN. I've even seen a couple hospitals with LPNs working the floor, so as an RN you shouldn't have any trouble. The bachelors is important if you want to move forward in your education/career, but for starting out on the floor, an associates is just fine. I was at another school working on my pre-reqs with the intention of going through their bachelors program, however I ended up in this program because it better fit my needs/busy lifestyle. (Not to say it isn't also filled with hard work and craziness...it is.) I've talked to many, many RN's who either are working towards their bachelor online, or already did, and they said it was a good choice for them. However if you know you want to get your bachelors and you have the ability to go through a bachelors program, go for it!! It all subjective, but both roads lead to RN and an amazing career. Good luck!

Hey you guys í ½í¸€ congrats to all of you that were accepted. Can any of you update what your class schedule is like for the week, is it as hard as some people say? We're there any supplies or books that you needed that were not on the list posted on the site that you ended up having to buy? How much were your books, and did you get them all at the same time? Thanks guys good luck to you all. O can't wait until I can finally start this process.
