LaLaws, Yes, I am at the OKC campus. We do have actual classes we go to for Health Assessment, Pharmacology, Acute & Chronic etc. They are all pretty much optional because everything was designed to be done on line. However, in Pharm there wer...

It has been a good experience. Get ready for a lot of work, but it will all be worth it in the end. I will tell you now that the instructors in the accelerated program are great; very supportive. It is a crazy schedule to keep up with, but it help...

I am currently in the program and we got fall break off. There was a small break inbetween summer and fall. We had a winter break, but we had a intersession class during that time. We had almost a month off and the intersession classs can mostly b...

I did not find out that I got in until the end of Feb.

i am currently in the accelerated program. i started last june and will be graduating aug. 1, 2010. i heard that there were over 500 applicants to our program when i applied and 41 of us were accepted. two dropped out the first week. i did not have a...

AAnderson congratulations!!!! You have worked very hard to get to the point that you are at without giving up hope like many do before they succeed. You should be very proud of yourself. I start an accelerated program Monday. Good luck to you as ...

I love that Quote!!!

I just want to encourage you to keep your head up. I know that things look bleak right now but there is a brighter day on the horizon. The way that we all obtain success is by working hard and learning from our failures. Like others have said, eve...

Hey everyone. This is an encouraging thread. I am 36 and will be starting an accelerated program June 1st at OU in Oklahoma. I am very excited and have worked very hard completing the prerequistes to get into this program. I have two kids and am ...

I am starting the accelerated program at OU in Oklahoma. I have heard that it is very challenging but talking to the current students at open house it is doable especially if you have a cohesive group who are trying to help everyone succeed. There w...

This post has great information and a great insight as to what to expect when I start. I start an accelerated program on June 1st. Although I have heard and know that it will be a tough program, this thread really gives me a good perspective on wha...

I start an ABSN program in about a month now. I read every single post and it has given me a world of insight. I have already heard how difficult this time will be but these posts have really driven home about the true sacrifices that are made. I ...

I have a quick question about the FAFSA. I am going to start an accelerated nursing program on June 1st. My question is: Does the 2008/2009 FAFSA cover this summer? Or does the 2009/2010 FAFSA cover the months during this summer? I have tried to...

Having money set aside is very good advice. I was told about having money for immunizations etc. by another friend who had recently been admitted into a program. Although my intentions were good I pinched off the money I had initially set aside unt...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I was just curious because most of the limit for my Stafford was used up during this current school year completing my prerequistes, and although I should still have some left over for this summer there is not very...

Okay, thanks I will do that. I was thinking that it was standardized. I will check with them tomorrow. Thanks again.

Taking all three might be tough but it just depends on you and the amount of study time you need to invest. I took Chemistry and Physiology at the same time and did fine. I had only had one semester of chemistry in high school and that was 20 years...

I am about to start nursing school too and I just ordered a Littman 3000. I saw that it was recommended on another post here. A gentleman who was hearing impaired said that he has the Littman 4000 and once his classmates heard the difference his ma...

I was an alternate for an accelerated RN program at OU in Oklahoma. I was notified that I made the cut two weeks after I got the denial letter and was told that I was an alternate. So, yes it is very likely that you will get a call in my opinion. ...

Keep faith and everything will work itself out. That is what I have to keep reminding myself. I start an ABSN program in June, so there is no time to save for school. This will be my second degree so I am not eligible for grants. I know that God ...

CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! :yeah:I too am on the bandwagon of giving GOD all the praise for my success. He has blessed me to be accepted into nursing school. He blessed me to make it through my prerequisites and to get accepted. I know he will bless me ...

Diver Dude is right about the tutoring. That has helped me out tremendously in my prerequistes and I plan to take advantage of free tutoring services in my ABSN program as well. Use all tools available to you.

Anything worth having is worth fighting for. I know that what you do in the past in regards to GPA follows you no matter how long ago it was. To bad we don't have the option to start with a clean slate. I know that now I have more of a drive and n...

I feel your anxiety. I too had the euphoria of being accepted into an ABSN program. Now the reality of finances is setting in. I am trying not to worry and just rest in the comfort that God has brought me this far. It will work out some how. I a...

I don't start in August, but I am still including myself in this. I am starting an accelerated program at OU in Oklahoma in June. I will still post on how my first day and experience went. Good luck to all!!
