I used Kaplan as my main review source, scored between 58 - 72 on the question trainers (67 on QT6, 72 on QT7). I also watched some of the Hurst Review lectures for content review. Anyhow, I think that Kaplan most accurately simulates the style and...

1. How many questions did you take on NCLEX? 75 questions 2. What study materials did you use? Did you take a test review course? Kaplan review course (all 7 Question Trainers and about 60% of the Q-Bank) as well as Hurst Review. I thought Kaplan was...

right, we were taught that a detached retina is the exception to the general rule of positioning the unaffected side inferior/dependent. The pressure is necessary to reestablish contact between retina and choroid in order to prevent ischemia --> p...

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 ...

Okay, somehow I posted that before I was done... Since you first posted 2 months ago you may already have all of this figured out but you'll probably want to apply to several programs since admission is fairly competitive. And since you're already ...

?Huh? No, OU/University of Oklahoma is a public school. Anyhow, Langston (also a public university) would be another good option to add to the list Whitter posted and their NCLEX pass rate was 91.1% in 2006, which was a significant improvement over ...

Hey there! I'm good - I feel kinda like a crazy busy mess, but good!! I took 9 hours of classes over the summer, then took 2 jobs... So I'm not sure where the summer went but I sure don't remember seeing any of it!!!! We started class this mornin...

I have been so busy this summer that I really haven't been keeping up with this site but wanted to respond to you. I think I share similar experiences to marilynmom & persnicketier in that I feel that I have learned and grown so much during the f...

I am biased as well since I attend OCU but just wanted to encourage anyone outside of the OKC or Tulsa Metro areas to check this program out. The opportunity to have in-person instruction from some truly top-notch instructors is well... almost price...

Hey gobejo, Sorry, I don't know much about OCCC's nursing program but most programs here require a minimum 2.5 GPA to apply and I'd say in reality you need above a 3.0 to be a competitive applicant. I think it may be slightly less competitive for th...

Brandi, I have a good friend at TU and she really really really loves it. We were both at UCO together and now she is in Tulsa at TU and I am in OKC at OCU and we both have commented about how we both feel that we are exactly where we belong. I und...

Hey Jessi - I just checked this thread for the first time in a while, sorry for the delay in replying. My only suggestion for the science/technology/society class is to do whatever you possibly can to get into the summer II session with Dr. Jones - ...

I'm in OKC as well and go to OCU, love it. I'm at the end of my 2nd semester (next Wednesday is my last final - yay!). Our schedules vary each semester to an extent, but as a general rule we have theory/lecture classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wed...

Hi Cincin, I honestly don't know anything about any of the schools you mentioned, but I'd say you're chances of getting in are decent - at least better than in CA. You're GPA is definitely respectable - although I don't know what the avg is for matr...

Hi Lisa - yep, as far as I know, OCU will admit whomever meets their requirements. I know that there is that "eligibility statement" on the website... I'm not sure what that's about though. Maybe it's just their way of having an "out" if they feel s...

Hi Lisa - welcome back to OK! Your points about costs, time, and having a life are totally valid and I don't think it is at all unreasonable to expect that you can have a satisfying and rewarding career with an ADN. I do agree with Lana that you may...

I know - I was so excited to go to Sam's today just to get out of the house for a while! Although, our cancellations have been kinda weird because I guess if OCU or OKC public schools cancel classes, then we don't have clinicals, but OCU doesn't alwa...

Also, the prefixes are already in the proper numbered order: meth = 1 eth = 2 prop = 3 but = 4... etc... dec = 10 I agree about getting a textbook even if one is not required for the course - I used this textbook for an introductory chemistry class a...

Well, I personally don't have a great deal of knowledge about the accelerated program, but I've discovered over the last semester is that if you ask 10 different seniors about something, then you are likely to get at least 5 different answers! I've h...

:welcome: Hi there! Congratulations to your wife for starting her new adventure!! Wow, I can't imagine what a difficult decision that must have been for you two... Well, hopefully you will both be so busy that the time will fly by and it will be t...

Yep, I agree. It's not worth your time or the frustration in dealing with folks that are already giving you the run-around, it will likely get worse. I applied to a different program at OU last year... I'm thankful now that I didn't get accepted. I...

Oh, forgot to mention, I have several classmates that live in Norman and Moore that drive into OKC for class and clinicals.

Hi again Sergiol, I hadn't even thought about the non-resident tuition issue, so you bring up a good point about how much you would have to pay even at public universities like OU & UCO. As I mentioned in your other thread, I go to Oklahoma Cit...

I think so - many/most other licensed health care professionals are required to have so many CE credits per year for licensure renewal - I was surprised to learn that this was not required of nurses as well.

Hi Sergiol, I do know that OU has been advising applicants to take A & P separately and that the combined A&P courses may not transfer - but I don't know how they determine whether or not they actually will or will not transfer. It may be a c...
