Pbingham I am glad to hear positive things about the teachers, and program. Like I said in the post above, I will not be able to be at RSU until the Spring semester. During that time I will be taking at least 2 or 3 courses, depending on what I have done this fall semester. Do you know if they will give me any extra points for being there during the spring semester, and do you think that would be better than just completely transferring in? Let me know, if you have any idea! Also.. I have a "C" in my Bio class, I am definitely thinking of taking it over, unless I don't have to, because it wasn't my favorite course ever!!! Do you know the average GPA, lowest GPA, and the highest? I am just wondering so I know which classes to take again, if I need more A's where I have B's and all of that! I have heard it's extremely, extremely tough!!! That actally scares me bad! I do study a lot, I just want to be able to do pretty good, not be struggling the whole time. Do most people make it through, and all of that? How tough? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP! I APPRECIATE IT ! =)

I did call RSU 3 days ago. They told me I could absolutely enroll right now, but she couldn't promise the classes I needed to have would be open. She told me that she thought it would be a better idea to take this semester at TCC to finish any courses I needed, and then to transfer to RSU for the spring semester. This is my plan, and to take Dosage Calc at RSU, and the Orientation course also. I thought there were only 5 courses you needed for the Associates RN program? And it says on the pre-reqs that it is A&P, I hope that it is combined because I have already had that course, and have a B!

FriarTuck.. It is nice to know that someone else is having the exact same issues as I am! I cannot make up my mind between RSU and TCC. I am currently at TCC, and taking classes. But I have been researching RSU lately, and I am leaning towards it. Only 5 pre-reqs and I have 2 or 3 of them.. I will most likely re-take one or two also, if I have spare time to, which it looks like I will.. just to re-assure myself and know that I have the best grades possible for myself. Do you know if you're taking your courses this semester at TCC? And then to RSU during the spring? I think that is what I'm planning on doing, but I am not positive. I may only take the Orientation course that they require be taken at RSU there in the spring, and the rest at TCC to try and some some $$$!!! Let me know what you plan on doing!

Things may be looking up for me with the TCC problems, no thanks to any help from their staff though. I guess it helps to know people, which is sad to say. If things do work out, there is a possibility of me staying. But now that I have researched RSU I am getting more and more interested with the program and school. LPN is pretty much out of the picture for me, the negatives outweighed the positives for my situation. So I have the choice to finish up my pre-reqs at TCC this year, and apply for nursing school there for the Fall. or I can do the pre-reqs for RSU at TCC this semester, transfer to RSU for the spring, do my other remaining courses there and apply for the Fall. I am very confused as of what to do right now, and I'm thinking I should figure it out very quickly.. if I change to RSU I will have to change one or two of my classes for this semester and visa versa. In reply to the BSN programs, I am not looking to get my Bachelors at this moment in time (sounds lazy) but I am just concentrating on my RN and when I figure out where I'll be and all of that and when I'm working , I will go back for my Bachelors when I'm ready and the time is right. Thank you for all of the advice, andif anyone could let me know their experiences with either TCC or RSU nursing, it would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will try to make a long story short! I have been attending TCC for the past year, finishin up pre-reqs and I have ran into many problems with the school and administration, and they cannot seem to accept or own up to their mistakes or wrong doings. I plan on staying there for the time being to finish up my pre-reqs but I have never planned on anything but TCC nursing school. I am a little behind on the calendar that I wish I could be on! I guess all in all I'd like to be done with it all in 3 years. Which means I will be applying for the fall semester. I wanted to get away from TCC so badly that I thought of going to Tulsa Tech to get my LPN, and then do the bridge to RN when I was done. Does anyone know of anywhere that has this option besides TCC? After I researched a little, I found it sort of irrelevant to even go through that though, because you will have to have the pre-reqs although you are a LPN already before you can bridge to RN. (?) Or at least that's how I am understanding!! I have heard MANY MANY great things about RSU (Rogers State) nursing school, and their RN program. I was going to also ask the opinion of some of you, maybe you're there, been there. Can you tell me what it's like, should I transfer there in spring to take the rest of my classes there after my fall at TCC? I have good grades, although I will retake my Bio in which I received a C! Did any of you have a hard time getting into the program? Do we know an estimate of the number that actually apply? And How many make it? I know this is long, but when you think you're positive of something and then life turns in a circle, you normally freak out, annnnnd that's what I'm doing right about.. mmm NOW! THanks for all of your help. :) Any help, and any opinions that you have would be so greatly appreciated
