You really need to go into an area that really makes you happy. I completed the Master's in Nurse Education because I absolutely loved teaching and still do. Money was not a deciding factor when I completed my degree, and as you will find out, educat...

Congrats to everyone who was accepted! If you didn't make it this year, keep trying. Just do what you can to strengthen your application in the meantime.

Was anyone else accepted to the OU PT FNP Tulsa campus?

I was accepted for their PT FNP as well, Tulsa campus!!!

I received an acceptance email Tuesday, which says a letter will follow in the mail....Super Excited!!! Anyone else heard yet?

I applied and went for an interview last week....patiently awaiting word!

I am awaiting my acceptance letter for OU. Anyone else waiting to hear,current students, or Alumni?? Wanting to hear from students who are or have experienced this program for any advice. Thanks!!:)

I had a very positive experience through OU's Nurse Education program. I worked FT while in school, not to say it was easy, but it was possible to do and work. I would recommend it to anyone!! Heather

I am applying to the University of Oklahoma for the post-master's FNP program Summer '14. Nurse 21 years, received my MS-Nurse Education in 2011 from OU, GPA 3.91. I work in education and also work prn in ICU. Good luck everyone!

I took about a $25,000/yr. pay cut to go from being in a clinical setting to an educational setting, but to me, it is worth it to be doing something you love. Money won't always bring you happiness.

I teach in Kansas, and your MSN has to be in Nurse Education for the Kansas State Board of Nursing. I am not aware of those various MSN degrees in specialty areas unless you are talking about NP tracks. I am attending The University of Oklahoma, and ...

Agldragon....enough already!!

I am from NE Oklahoma, best wishes on your acceptance!!! Where in Oklahoma are you from?

i was thinking the exact same thing. many times, i have seen people respond to posts in a very negative manner, and that is unnecessary. the question was legitimate, and needs responses to help her understand the matter. that being said, i went into ...

I totally agree. I tend to be a real positive person, not letting much get in the way of that. I am looking forward to it!! Guess I will see, but hopefully that was just her own personal opinion. Thanks!

I was acccepted to the MSN-Nurse Educator program through OU!!!! Yay!!! Anyone else at OU???

I received my letter of acceptance to OU's MSN-Nurse Educator program. I am very excited. Anyone else from OU-Oklahoma? Good luck to everyone out there!!!

When was the cutoff date for the application period? Sounds like the time ran out for him to get his information in before the decision was made. Maybe they would have taken him if the information they were looking for was already available. So, by t...

At the college I teach at (a 1+1 nursing program), the students have a few gen. ed. classes they have to have to start the LPN program, then at the end of the 1st year they set for their boards. Then as an LPN they return for the 2nd year, completing...

Our hospital had a lady in her 50's who came in through the ER with EMS in a code blue. She was resuscitated and survived, then was sent to ICU on the vent. Within a couple of days, her coccyx became reddened, and over the next few days it became a v...

Yes, once you have your BSN, for me to go PT it is another 19 mo. or so. They have an RN to BSN that is 9 mo. FT study, so maybe 16-18 mo. PT study. Part of the MSN curriculum is the core classes that every Master's degree has to take, then you branc...

The MSN Nurse Educator track is online, but I still have 384 hours of required teaching practicum to complete in an education setting. I chose the Nurse Educator path because I was going to teach. You can teach with other Master's degrees, but I want...

I have been a nurse for 18 years, and I have my BSN, and will be starting my MSN this fall. I am pursuing my MSN because I teach as well as work clinically, and I need my MSN, or be working on it, to teach the nursing program I work at. My MSN is abo...

I am a Nursing Instructor, and I always tell my nursing students.....if you have to ask, you probably shouldn't do it.

From my experience, when a new potential employer calls Human Resources for a reference check, they will not be able to ask details. They can inquire whether or not she was employed there, for how long, and whether or not she would be considered for ...
