I'm waiting as well and keep thinking maybe the email has disappeared in my junk mail and I'll never see it? But I've received all other emails so I know I'm just worried over nothing. I'm so anxious!!!!

I'm so anxious!! So for those who might not know, there was an application extension sent out to people's emails (I don't know how I got on this list) in mid January for a deadline of January 29th for the summer cohorts (I had about 15 days to "throw" my application together). Obviously that means that they've (NursingCAS) only had my application for a month and Samuel Merritt just received the application from NursingCAS. It makes me wonder how long it will actually take to hear back! If they don't accept you, they still send an email out at a decent time right? Or if you're going to be on the wait list? I guess I shouldn't worry until another week or so. I hate waiting but I know it's not realistic to hear back as early as everyone else since they haven't had my application for as long but still

Does anyone here on allnurses currently go to OU's nursing program (any location)? What was your GPA? Any advice you can give? Do you know what the likelihood of being accepted would be for someone with a 3.5-3.6 GPA and 4.0 science GPA? Please help! I'm trying to figure out what I am going to do.

I need any advice I can get here. So after this semester and after retaking a class I got a random history class that I got a C in, assuming I get all A's now, I will have a 3.6(?) GPA. At that point I will have all my basic classes done (besides one extra class that a certain university might require- for example, OU will want a 3000 level class of western civilization or something). All my sciences will be done, with a 4.0 in the science portion. I've taken elementary statistics, will also have my CNA, I took medical terminology randomly as well-- I mean, I can either go for an AAS or a BSN. Since I couldn't apply for Fall 2011 at OU due to the fact that I wouldn't have the required 75% of science courses completed AND because my GPA was a 3.45, I decided not to even TRY to get into OU. Also, I don't want to wait for nursing school so I made the decision of just settling for TCCs program, cause I figure my chances of getting accepted is very high. Thing is, my goal is to get a BSN and maybe go back for a masters, so I honestly would rather not spend two years getting my associates when I can have a bachelors in the same amount of time. Anyway, I've heard a lot of negative things about TCC's program. Unfair teachers and exams, must get a 76% or above on tests or you fail and might even have to retake the level, teachers are getting fired so the program is a mess right now, ect ect. Does anyone currently attend their nursing program and can tell me any useful information or give me a view on what you think about the program? At this point, I'm thinking of sitting out for a year, maybe working in a hospital as a CNA while I wait around, and then I will apply for OU Tulsa for Fall of 2012. Does anyone happen to have any information on how high my chances are of being accepted is with a 3.6 cumulative GPA and 4.0 science GPA, with all classes completed. I hear that even when having like a 3.8, you might not even be accepted, but maybe that's only if all of your science classes are completed yet. Also, does anyone know much about Langston? I hear good and bad? How about RSU? Any advice on what I should do will be very helpful! I thought I had it all figured out, and now I'm unsure of what to do. I really appreciate it! -Nicole

What have you guys heard about Langston? I heard that they are on probation because of their low NCLEX pass rate. I don't know if this is true but I was considering applying until I found that out. I don't want to go to a school with bad reputation. I want a good education. Although, just looking at the past ten years at their NCLEX first time pass rate, it's lower than most nursing schools in oklahoma and it does make me really wonder about Langston. You can see all nursing programs NCLEX pass rate here: http://www.ok.gov/nursing/nclexpass1.pdf Anyone know anything or have any of you recently gone there. What can you say about the program? I was originally planning to go to OU until I found out how competitive they are. I hear it's fairly easy to get into the program, especially because I have a 3.5 and pre reqs will be done. What do you think? Because besides OU, Langston is one of the only BSN programs in the state that I am very closely on track for. A lot of the others have several random classes that I would have to take in order to get into the program. Advice is much appreciated! It's been a stressful past few months trying to figure this all out and my time is running out! Thank you, Nicole
