SSHANNON, are you working anywhere and going to school or just the BSN? I was thinking about doing just the BSN to concentrate on school.. wondered your thoughts.

Yeah, I forgot about the skits. How retarded is that? I guess I am trying to 'brain dump' most of the memories from school.

I just graduated and had similar trouble being an older student. But in the end it was worth it just keeping my nose to the grindstone and finishing in top of class. You may never have to see those people again-that thought sustained me at times!

I am going to start this program most likely in January 2011 unless I go to Kaplan for their MSN. OU pricing very good.

Good luck at OU this fall. I graduated in August from OUZ and passed Nclex a week and a half ago. They changed the program on us halfway through regarding 6th qtr. It used to be an easy 6th with precepting and meeting with cliinical instructor a couple of times a quarter. NOW it is an all day class with a test or two every week-some would say good prep for NCLEX but I found it to be a complete waste of time. They dont even go over the material, just test you and then do seminars on topics not found on NCLEX. They say it raised their pass rates a couple of points but it frustrated nearly everyone in class. But overall good program. Several great teachers-Tim Blake: psych, Stacy Sweet-musculoskeletal. Some of the profs just read verbatim overhead slides. Buy a good NCLEX book such as Gail Hogan wrote (large red book) and use that as study aid. I did over 4000 NCLEX ?s as practice before test and passed in 45 minutes and minimum 75 questions.
