UOP is expensive! I think when I get done the total will be about 20K. My cost is the low end because I only had to take 4 classes (gen 300, A&P, college algebra, pharm) then nrsing classes. I have a previous degree which helped out with other gen ed. classes. My advice to ANYONE going to a private university is to get your general studies done at a community college (while on a waitlist for your school of choice). It will save you thousands in the end. The minimum time it takes to get a BSN at UOP is 2 1/2 years (18 months). Longer of course if you have to take pre-reqs. Hope this helps!!

Hi jennrose...I would say you definately need to tell your clinical instructor. I'm sure it's going to be scary, but it's something that the instructor needs to know. Thank goodness your patient was fine and nothing adverse happened. Remember you are working as a student, and mistakes happen. Just next time be more careful..double, triple check if you have to! Good luck!!!

I received a private message from someone about this..however, I cannot reply. So..I will respond to both the private message and the last message posted. I am currently in the UOP LPN to BSN program in Colorado. It definately has its pros and cons. The format is traditional, so you do attend weekly classes. There are clinicals, as required by the Board of Nursing. UOP is accredited by the Colorado State Board of Nursing. I know UOP had some issues in the past few years and had some low NCLEX pass rates. The program has gone through some changes, including adding the HESI and other things. My take on it is...you get out of your education what you put into it. Most of the instructors I've had are good teachers and they try to help you succeed. I also realize I need to put forth the effort and get out of it what I need to succeed in the program. Hopefully they can work out the kinks and make the program even better. UOP, along with other nursing schools in Colorado, now has a two year waitlist...so if you choose to attend UOP, apply early!!
