Yeah! I am so grateful for your detailed reply. I loved the program faculty where I was enrolled but I can't work, raise kids and manage that time type of commitment at this time. You have answered a...

Do those that are in the program feel the 5 week nursing courses are reasonable for the working student? What types of assigments are there for nursing classes? I don't mind papers but I had 17 papers...

My current program is very straight fwd with excellent staff. But my ultimate goal is NP school and this program puts that a long ways away. Can someone send me a sample of a typical course...maybe...

so what do you think thus far? I don't want to bail ship only to discover it's not a wise move. I would love your honest insight. I tried to go to the DARs report using my Ohio ID but no luck. I also...

I will call on Monday. Previously communication with OU has been extremely difficult. When does Fall officially commence for them? I saw something about II classes starting Oct??? Anyhow, how long for...

I'm taking a 3 hr course with 8 modules. I put in no less than 20 hrs/week and it's killing me. I'm a good student and organize my time. I think I need to

Thanks for that info. So with all that said can you share the types of homework assignments you do? How long will it take you to complete the program? I only need the 9 nursing courses. Thanks again!...

Do you find it doable? I work FT, have 2 kids and I'm spending more than 25 hrs a week per module in my current program. It's almost all papers. I love the instructor, etc but today I was sick in bed...

Chuckster, have you started your course? Please give me the inside scoop on the program. I am enrolled in another program but I'm having second thoughts. I'm still eligible to start OU this fall. My...
Hey all, I'm attending the NCCHC conference in Vegas this month. Has anyone recently taken the general NCCHC exam? Just wondering how challenging it is. I'm studying from the Standards for Health...

I just received my letter and certificate today...I passed! Just be sure you know all the time frames for seeing inmates, dental exams, etc. It's not hard if you know the standards. Good
Aspen is wonderful. They will support you from the get-go! I was sooooooooo nervous but just jump in and that feeling will pass. Their admission process is straight-forward, organized and efficient. I...
Aspen is GREAT! The coordinator is currently tweaking the curriculum a bit...for the better! I am in the first course and it was initially overwhelming but I am enjoying it! They are so easy to work...

I think you'll find the setting interesting and challenging. Depending on the size of the facility it can be fast paced like an ER. Usually if someone presents with a life threatening issue even the...

I have to agree here. Is the BSN really worth all this hassle??? I went down a similar road and have chosen Aspen. You can get the MSN in an uplifting, supportive environment then go on for post...

With this many problems I would be very skeptical about the program in general. Lack of communication and inefficiency in processing applicants are big red flags regardless of their excuses. I hope...
OMG Chuckster, what a nightmare for you! I can't even believe they would require an intro class with upper level courses on prior transcripts; not to mention all the other courses you've taken. Are...
AU is easy to deal with, super straightforward, affordable and results in a Master's degree. I decided I don't need a second BS even tho I don't have a BSN. I am very pleased with my decision and...
Thank you! I know it will be a great experience...the APA stuff does freak me out because I'm not accustomed to writing with format...emails are about the extent of it! Anyhow, I'll be up and running...
