  1. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    Well, I applied to Penn State in early June and got my acceptance letter from them today, complete with a detailed transcript evaluation listing the courses that transfered (they got it right) and...

  2. Proctors for distance learning courses

    UGADawgs posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    For those of you who work and take classes that require proctoring of exams for your distance learning courses, do you have an arrangement where you can have this done at your facility. Like for a...

  3. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I think when the program first started it was originally intended to be just through a partnership with certain employers, so that part of the application is vestigial from that time. Now, it is open...

  4. Was written up ! I am so upset is there any hope to ever be a RN?

    UGADawgs replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    No. Someone with problems like the ones you claim you have cannot be an

  5. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I just got an email from OU today saying my application is complete and they have all my transcripts and are reviewing my application. The email also says they are transitioning to a new system that...

  6. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I wonder if OU or UT-A lock you into whatever the tuition was when you started the program or if you're at their mercy every term. Like once you begin the OU degree, is your tuition guaranteed to be...

  7. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    Is UT-A on quarters or semesters? A tuition hike of even a little bit is even more damaging on the quarter system, because the price-per-credit hour has to be multiplied by 4 or 5 instead of 3, and...

  8. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    I really am not surprised that they are backed up in admissions. As of mid-2011, the OU program is the only one of its kind in the country. I've done lots of research and nobody else offers: 1.)...

  12. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    Actually, the thing that scares me most right now about the OU program is the impending switch from quarters to semesters at OU in fall 2012. If you haven't started yet, you won't finish by then...

  13. Ohio University RN-to-BSN Program

    UGADawgs replied to chuckster's topic in Ohio University

    Well, I just threw my hat into the OU arena. I sent in my application yesterday and had all the schools I've attended send my transcripts to OU. The deadline for the September start date is June 17th....

  14. Not-for-profit vs for-profit colleges...did this make a difference?

    UGADawgs replied to BabyLady's topic in General Students

    Harvard absolutely is not a for-profit institution. Private does does not mean "for

  16. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    UGADawgs replied to Silverdragon102's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took NCLEX today. Cut off at 135 questions. Status in Pearson Vue account says "Delivery Succesful." Attempted to register for the NCLEX again. Got a popup message that said "Our records show you...

    UGADawgs posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anyone know if Texas Tech charges out-of-state tuition for it's online RN-BSN program for non-residents? This is another program that's on my short list. Their website is ambiguous because when...

  18. RN-BSN program with out all the crap

    UGADawgs replied to parks71's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If price is not an issue, check out Penn State. You get 33 credits for your RN license after you pass the NCLEX. However, you do not need an RN license in-hand to start the program, you just need it...

  19. Straighterline accounting courses question

    UGADawgs posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anyone know, if you take a Straighterline accounting course through Fort Hays State University so that it will go on their transcript to look just like their own accounting course to facillitate...

  20. will jobs accept bachelor degrees from online schools?

    UGADawgs replied to JM RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Definitely stay away if they are not regionally accredited. You want a program with regional and CCNE, not just CCNE by itself. How many college credits do you have already? Was the associate RN...

  21. will jobs accept bachelor degrees from online schools?

    UGADawgs replied to JM RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Unaccredited degrees are not worth the paper that they're printed on. If you already have your RN license from an associate degree program and are looking to upgrade to a BSN through online classes,...

  23. Tests that get you credit for nutrition courses

    UGADawgs posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anyone here know of a test, be it CLEP, DSST, Excelsior, whatever that gives college credit for the equivalent of an introductory course in nutrition? Every BSN program that I have looked at that...

  24. HELP! 1 class short of my degree!

    UGADawgs replied to debstmomy's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would go the CLEP route as well. Any specific restrictions on what type of class it has to be? Are you limited to specific course titles? "Humanities" course really isn't very specific. If they will...
