Ms. Rx

Lisa621, Congratulations on being accepted!!! Yes, I did decline the 1st time...I had just finished my first degree, I was getting married, moving, and my DH was beginning a doctoral program. So it was not a good time for me to take on such a commitment.

Thank you all for the information it was really helpful. Thyme39 thank you so much for your time and information that went into your post...it was so helpful to me!!! Can you tell me are you working durning the program? Do you know anyone who is?

Wow, great mind think do think alike :) I tryed to send you a private message with my contact info, that way if you'd like to keep in touch before we start-but it would not let me. I am going to the SNAOU meeting Monday, 2/4/08, night. I am sorry you will have to move is it that far from where you live? Hopefully it will not be to big or an ordeal for you.

Chri$tina, it is great you've finish those classes already...I just wanted to let you know I received a letter yesterday stating there will be an orienation in May the date is not yet decided on. It also stated the program will be held in Clinton Twp. at the Macomb University Center located on the campus of Macomb Community College. :balloons:

Congratulations to the both of you for getting in...:cheers:I look forward to meeting each of you. Have either of you started the nursing courses? I am currently in Patho

yes, they do have rolling admissions; i would encourage you to apply as soon as you complete the pre-req courses. i am not sure where you live but if you can i would attend an information session, they are put on by adviser for the program and she is fantastic! i am sending you the link the will address all of the pre-req questions you have, i hope! if not feel free to ask me specific questions. http://www2.oakland.edu/nursing/files/infoprenursinghandout.pdf there are currently 58 credit hours required for the accelerated program at a cost of $252.50 per credit hour. add $100 orientation fee, $140 times 4 for ati test, add cost of books at $300 times 4 plus cpr course, drug screen police check, uniforms, laboratory kit (roughly $70) and those physicals, medical screens and the "hidden extra credit fees for pathophysiology, nutrition, and pharmacology (another like 8 credits) and the fees go up to like $20,000 for the program.... the site for fall is yet to be determined so i am not sure where i will be attending! i stinks for planning but i will have to make do with where ever they decide.

This is actually my second time being accepted, the first time was the first cohort they offered, I was getting married and my husband was starting pharmacy school. I thought it was too much to take on at one time! I applied for Spring '08 but it was already full so I was accepted into the Fall '08 start.:w00t:

Hi there, I have recently been accepted to OU's 2nd degree BSN program, is anyone out there a grad of this program or student? I am super nervous and like some info. Thanks in advance.
