Yes, hopefully we can get some feedback!

Congrats muff81 and threelittlerocs!! I got my acceptance letter the other day also!! I have been trying to find out info from former students on what the program is like. I have heard some horror stories from friends at OU's program and a few others so I just want to make sure that I am making the right decision. My friend attends OU and is a very good student with a 3.9 GPA. She said her program is was very disorganized and the grading system makes it difficult for you to get high grades no matter how hard you try. So I am worried about making the right decision about which school to attend. I want to attend a school that is fair on grading and that I can learn alot and be well-prepared when I finish. I hope that OSU-OKC is that school!

Hi. I was wondering if anyone can give me information regarding the job market for RN's. I am currently going to school for my BSN and it seems like the faculty makes it seem as though there are vast opportunities for new grads. However, I keep hearing about hiring freezes across the OKC metro as well as other states. I am just wondering how difficult it really is to find a job upon graduating (and one that is desirable). Also, I was reading that starting salary for new grads was like $18.60 per hour or something like that. I thought that LPN's made about $15-18 per hour. Maybe I am wrong, but if so there doesn't seem like a very big pay gap between an RN and LPN. Hopefully someone with some experience can help me out in answering these questions. Thanks
