Evansmom you can go on Sail and look at the nursing courses schedule. Clinicals will not be there as they are not assigned until the right before your semester start. So the best idea you can get is the schedule that is in Sail.

Hey prettygirl5, I had the same concern/question about financial aid as I start in May. I contacted financial aid yesterday. Fall is the start of the financial aid year with a max of $12,000 for each year. So you would get $6K for fall and $6K for wi...

I was emailed yesterday that our orientation will be in March for May 2011 starts. Evansmom-the complete schedule for all three terms is posted on the OU website as the last page of the accelerated application

I agree with some of the posters here. My husband is supportive, he even set up a home office for me. The problem is that whenever I go there, so does everyone else...the dog included. I decided the only way to get peace of mind and some serious stud...

Hey ej, Did you go to your personal doc for the Hep B vaccinations? If not, can you post the prices you have gotten for vaccinations? I have started checking around and so far this is what I gathered: Concentra: $97.50 MMR $76.50 Varicella $55...

Hey evansmom, For the last group, we all interviewed during the first 2 weeks of march and didn't start getting letters until the beginning of April. So it was about a month before we heard anything. Good luck! I know waiting is agony.

My take is get it engraved with the RN. It will serve as inspiration. Obviously, your smart enough to become an LPN, and you are almost done becoming a RN. I say go for it!

The information is posted under the school of nursing/important forms/health requirement forms Under the health requirement forms there are several links that tell what is needed for vaccinations, background check, etc. and who to send the results to...

I remember reading in the OU nursing handbook, the vaccinations required, the criminal check, and even a listing of recommended places to take the CPR class. The CPR class must be the one for health professionals and depending upon where you take it ...

Okay I couldn't resist adding to this post. After paying off any outstanding debt then I can start wishing. These are my wish items: Designer shoes...Christian Louboutin to be exact Laser Hair Removal-NO I am not a hairy chick, I'm just tired of the...

CONGRATS!!! Out of curiosity, when did you graduate? Do you already have a job lined up?

Thanks wj I will take a look at the handbook so I can get busy collecting what I need.

rzyzzy, What local scrub shop did you go to? It would be helpful for me to go in person and take a peek at what's available before purchasing. Thanks.

For those of you that know folks already in the nursing program at OU, do you know what materials we need right in the beginning? For example, uniforms, stethoscope, nursing kits, etc. I know it's early but I was thinking that if I could gradually bu...

This may be a stupid question but I'm hoping someone can answer it anyway. In order to qualify for NWLB, do you have to be unemployed already??? I am currently employed, make a decent amount of money, but when my accelerated nursing program starts I ...

Ejcl, I sent you a pm with the info you requested.

Why didn't the article tell what "government program" will help pay off the student loans? That would have been really helpful.

One more thing, Pharm was great pretty straightforward. Pathophys with that prof was tricky. The quiz questions had tricky wording, so you had to definitely read the questions very carefully to ensure you weren't missing something. For example, the q...

I was told there were 3 people ahead of me for the January cohort. So we shall see if everyone accepts and sends their deposit. They won't allow me to post the actual profs names, but for Pharm I had a lady. I had a male for Pathophys....

I have completed the last 3 classes, so yep I'm ready to go. The extra time would give me a chance to get more money saved. Time will tell what happens.

So my deposit check was cashed and my status changed to Accelerated Nursing BSN...finally. Too bad my start date didn't also change to January Good luck to those taking classes over the summer. As of last night, I am officially done with all pre-req...

I would have to agree with all the other posters, I would not tell during the interview. I probably wouldn't tell even after I was hired. My teenage daughter is diabetic and we manage with diet and exercise. As a teenager, she doesn't like to be fuss...

I mailed my deposit earlier this week. It doesn't look like they've cashed my check yet. Hmmm

Thanks for all the suggestions and congrats. I know I need the BLS certification so there's no need to hold off on that. I will start looking now for possible employment opportunities in healthcare. I would like to get my feet wet and in the door of ...
