Thanks for posting the link to the schedule! I hope this means the acceptance/denial letters will soon follow. I called the office yesterday to ask when they estimate they'll be sending the letters,...
I don't know why we teach children in grade school to be polite when in reality we should just let them be rude because the majority of the professional society is rude. I'm going back into nursing...
Great wisdom from everyone here, and I hope you are able to get back into nursing soon. I worked on the legal side of medicine for a few years, and I would NOT bring up the lawsuit to potential...
Don't worry too much about not doing well initially. My first bachelor's was in English, and I didn't apply myself at all. I was able to make up for it with the pre-req', and I was able to pull up...
How about being a school nurse and then pick up some per diem shifts during the breaks if you want more? Most areas require some hospital experience in order to qualify for per diem so you would need...
Apply everywhere and to every job. I just got a job as a nursing assistant at a hospital with no prior experience. My manager said she prefers hiring people with no experience because she can train...
I got the impression that the students who were admitted to the ABSN were all in state AND had all of their pre-req's completed at the time that they submitted their application. The waitlisted...
I am applying to the BADNAP 2012, and I would love to get more info from the current students during your next break, which I assume will be the winter break. I have either a 3.4-3.5 cumulative GPA...
My first bachelor's was from a private liberal arts college that cost about 80K. Thankfully I received an excellent loan/scholarship package and was able to pay off my student loan a few years after...
Well, I just checked IUPUI's website and the out of state tuition is very close, if not exactly the same, as OCU's tuition. If you're an Indiana resident, it's very similar to any in-state program....
I don't know how much IUPUI costs, but Oklahoma City University is VERY expensive for a BSN. The cost of living in the area is relatively low so that could help offset the costs of school. I live in...
I'm applying to the BADNAP and OU's Accelerated Program. I also applied to the traditional BSN at OU and selected the OCCC Collaborative as my top choice if neither of the accelerated programs...
OU is a great program, and I just submitted my application for the ABSN program for summer 2012. My only caution is that they give a LOT of preference to in state applicants. I applied last year as...
Thanks for all of the great advice! I have a year before nursing school starts, and my plan is to review my A&P and get a few review books. (I took the A&P lectures online and still have...
Acceptance letter to OU? Which program is that? I was an alternate for OU this semester; are they still admitting alternates for the fall? I've heard great things about Rose, but with OU you get a...
I am so sorry you had to go through that. I've had so many frustrations in regards to the pre-req's/application process for a nursing program. I'm now living in the Oklahoma City area and will be...
I'm an alternate for the OU-OKC campus, and I honestly don't think that they are going to admit anyone else. I would LOVE to be proven wrong on this though! I kept hoping that my phone would ring...
Sounds great. I just completed my pre-req's and have started applying to various schools in the area. I'm starting a 12 day CNA class on the 22nd, and I'll hopefully start working soon after. I'm...
I was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy when I was in the fifth grade. My Mom was a cardiac nurse and she could hear the distinct "rubbing" sound when she was tucking me in one night; I'd...
When I talked with the advisor last week at OU I was told two encouraging (hopefully!) facts. One, they did not take on as many alternates as they have in previous years, and two, July 1st is the...
That's good to know. I'm going in next week to talk with the advisors (OKC campus) about my options, and I'm hoping they'll let me know where I am on the
