If someone has taken the program before, can somebody post the type of questions that are on the med math test? I am trying to get a huge jump on studying for this. If it is nothing more than conversions and dosages, that is easy. If it gets into...

In short, I decided not to change careers.

Hi. I dropped from the summer. Sorry. Would have loved to though. If you need any help, I put considerable time into studying and may be able to help. Let me know.

I was signed up for the OU Accelerated BSN program but decided not to pursue it. I had already enrolled in an American Red Cross CPR course for the professional rescuer, which is a requirement prior to starting the program. Well, since I have decide...

It just made me really think about how lucky I am to have what I have. I did not want to start over and prove myself again by starting at the bottom. It's tough to do that when you have put all this time into one thing. I would basically be throwi...

I just could not part with my job. It made me realize how cozy and lucky I have it, to be honest. No, it's not what I want to do really. But I've been in my career now for 10 years and with everything I've worked for, it's hard to leave that for a...

It's a business, they'll fill the slots. I'd love to think it's purely based on requirements, the person, whether the interviewers believe someone will make it, etc. But, if there's ever a situation where they have 70 spots filled, they're going to...

Thanks. The real basic stuff I am ok on. I start losing confidence on story problems because sometimes I'm not sure what units they are looking for. If i can determine with confidence the units they are looking for, I can then start getting close t...

I am pretty sure there were 100 that interviewed for the 50 spots in my cohort at the time. I think when they decided to move the whole year of classes to Riverview instead of just the first semester, they must have made the executive decision to in...

I am sure it is only like that right now because they have the extra seats floating around. But I would bet you in a few more semesters it will be back to the 1-1.5 year wait. So you are falling into this program at just the right time.

Yes. I am in the May cohort and there were well over 50 people in the orientation. Instructors talked about there being 75 and the recruiter lady said she moved 25 up to accommodate. I talked to a student that was moved all the way up from the Wi...

I can also confirm they increased to 75 seats, starting in May. THey stated it in the orientation this past Tuesday. They moved many students up, and I was one of them. I was slotted for Fall.

I was wondering if anyone is slotted to begin in May 2010? I was slotted for the winter but received a call today asking if I wanted to move up to the May start date, to which I said yes. I'm so excited to get going. Is there a facebook group or anyt...

They notified me by email. I believe I also received an acceptance letter by mail after that if I'm not mistaken.

I would like to find out things such as: What's their day to day schedule (Monday through Friday, shifts they worked, etc). I'm trying to get an idea ahead of time on what it will be like for Semester 1. Are clinicals all 5 days of the week? How m...

Hey Chris, Look forward to meeting you Tuesday. Ill look for the facebook group. Ejcl, I think it took a month or two if I remember. I interviewed late July 09, and I think they let us know late August. Edit: Chris, I'm having trouble finding it....

Sounds like you may also be eligible for the No Worker Left Behind deal where you can get a 5000 dollar grant from the government. Check it out if you havent already.

Interesting post by the OP because I felt the same way. I'm currently an Engineer in the auto industry and feel absolutely no fulfillment from my job. I still have my job, and make more than I will as a nurse, but I'm pulling the plug and going bac...

Thanks for the help, it's helping to prepare for the courses. I do have another question though: I took the Patho and Pharm about 2/3 semesters ago (I got them done early). I would imagine I'll be quite rusty on those. What is expected that you kno...

Please tell me there were plenty of students in the program who were not former CNA and needed to learn the skills in lab and study...

I said 'Piece of Cake' sarcastically. I'm sure it will be work, but I'm confident I will succeed. I really don't have the option to fail here. I'm quitting a career (still working) just before the program starts, so if I fail, I will be out both m...

Murph, may I ask, what did you finish the program with (GPA)?

Piece of cake. Thanks for taking the time to post. Any info on 2nd/3rd semesters? I have heard the first semester is the toughest, and then it gets a bit easier. The schedule does classes Mon/Fri, Monday is 8-12:30 or so for both classes, then Fri...

I was told St. John's Main and Providence were going to be the clinicals locations. But if others are saying it could be additional hospitals, they're the experienced ones . Personally the more widespread exposure you get, the better. In my opinion...

If you creat one, send me an invite .
