    I haven't heard the statistics about who got jobs and where but one instructor told us that five were just hired at Memorial (the new hospital) in critical care. Sharp does offer some loan repayment,...

    I am a 3rd semester student (graduate in 4.5 months!). I don't know about the statistics that were in my cohort but a lot of us had really good pre-req grades. The majority of my classmates are in mid...

    I would start early. I started in June and I think it was the best, that way the two hardest semesters (2nd and 3rd) are done over the long semesters, 16 weeks each. I personally think this is the...

    If you are on campus you are to wear scrubs. The email was for later semesters, we have a workshop off campus today and there was confusion as to what to wear. Good luck!

    I believe they are changing things because of the large amount of applicants. Good luck!

    The lab bag just has items to use in lab. For clinical you will need a stethescope (Littman is the best), a penlight, a pocket-sized notebook to take notes at clinical. Some instructors will inform...

    With the adjusted grade scale it is more difficult. A 93 and above is an A which means a 92 is a B. I have no idea how many people got As, etc because there is no curve but many people are getting As...

    Nursing schools do not give +/-. As far as those grades from your pre-reqs I believe they have a system for calculating them. I am not sure what it is though,

    Oh the community polos, LOL. They are all too big on everyone except me. One girl had hers tailored at a tailor and it looks really good. I think it cost her $12 to do it but she is happy with

    I don't have any children but many of the students at OU have some. I know someone with three all under the age of 6! It can be done, it just requires more time management. Good

    Both...we had to do presentations in our clinical group on different diseases, etc and for some classes we have to post them to a discussion board for our classmates and our instructors in Oklahoma to...

    We received an email last semester about the possibility of Sharp giving a loan-reimbursement of up to $25K for a 3 year sign-on contract specifically for OU students. I couldn't attend the meeting...

    Hi, I'm in the 3rd cohort and we have had some people drop for varying reasons. Some due to health problems, some due to family issues, and some because they realized nursing is not for them. We...

    The exams are NCLEX-style multiple choice, some classes require papers and some require power point presentations. I feel I have had a great clinical experience with very good

    You are very welcome! I was very upset too. I believe everyone is entitled to their opinion but when false information is given it really makes me upset (such as OU losing their lease, etc). Good...

    You are welcome. I am the same way, Type A personality and I am a planner. But I have learned I have to let go of the worry and frustration when it comes to scheduling, etc. I think that you are...

    No, the school has not lost its lease. Sharp has decided to not renew the lease of the location that OU is, which is a skilled nursing facility. The poster above had the incorrect information....

    Yikes, you definitely are not having the same experience as I am. May I ask which cohort you are in? I think within my cohort, the moral is high and I am happy with OU. I'm sorry you've had a rough...

    Hi, I am a current student at OU, going into 3rd semester. I believe I am receiving a quality education. There are some people who will say they hate the program, "nursing can't be taught online",...

    To say that I wasn't overwhelmed would be lying but now that I look back at first semester, it was much easier than second semester. But overall you get a good grasp of the fundamentals. To be honest...

    Technically you are "in" school everyday with studying etc but you are only "at" school twice a week on the cabrillo campus and one full day of clinical at your hospital for 8 hours and 1-2 hours the...
