I'm in the ABSN program instead of the traditional program, so ours is a little different. We do have some of the same instructors though and they are all pretty helpful and that is definitely not true about asking questions. We took one class with t...

There is also an apartment complex maybe 5-10 minutes from campus called Lincoln at Central Park. I looked into those and I know they give a discount to OUHSC students. I think it was like $10 off every month or something, so nothing big but it could...

I'm in the ABSN program so possibly a little different from the traditional program, but I was told I was on the wait list in November I think it was and then got a call the very beginning of January saying I had a spot. For my program at least, we w...

People live all over honestly. Some live downtown near campus, some in Edmond, some in Yukon, some in the Quail Springs Mall/North OKC area. The area right around campus is not the best, but overall I think OKC is relatively safe. I live in the north...

Sorry it has taken me so long to reply! I do believe the scrubs are more expensive through the school, but I could be wrong. If I remember correctly, it was around $180 for two pairs of scrubs and our OU polo through the school. The main thing is fin...

Oh and one big thing! At orientation, people will be there with order forms to buy scrubs. I, along with lots others, thought we had to buy those scrubs since they have to be a specific color but you don't! I didn't have any problems with mine, but a...

We get automatically enrolled each semester and everyone takes the same classes, so no we don't get to choose our classes. There are 38 people in our class, which I think is really nice since we all know each other and feel comfortable with each othe...

I am in the ABSN program. Things may be different for the ABSN admission process compared to the traditional, but there are people from all different colleges. The majority attended OSU or OU I think, but there are multiple from other colleges and ou...

Oh and she is not an RN or any type of health care professional. I have only been in that particular hospital's NICU and have never had a child in the NICU, but I honestly think the support she gave to the parents was invaluable. It was an amazing o...

I am in nursing school now but did an internship with the MOD NICU Family Support Specialist from January through April of this year for my previous degree. She was paid by the MOD and it was a part time position. I was in the hospital with her 3 day...

I am currently in the ABSN OKC program and really like it. I don't know anything about the Lawton campus though. If you have any questions about the OKC campus you can message me.

Yeah it said that in mine too. I didn't ask what number I was the lady just told me when I e-mailed asking about something else. I didn't think they would tell so I didn't bother asking but she did!

I was selected as an alternate to the OKC accelerated program and got a call a couple weeks after I received the alternate letter saying there was a spot open. I was told I was #8 so you might e-mail and see if they will tell you! Hope things go in y...

We had to pay for the state background check, national background check, drug test, CPR, any shots you need from the required list, and 2 TB tests. I am in a 14 month accelerated program starting in June, and we will have to do another CPR class and ...
I was #8 on the alternate list for an accelerated program and got a spot. The original people that got accepted had 2 weeks to accept or decline and about 3-4 weeks after I got my letter, I got a call saying I got a spot. 48 spots were available.

I was told that I was #8 on the alternate list. Yesterday I got the call saying that they had a spot for me! Yay!! Haha... So for anyone that did get an alternate spot or will in the future, don't give up hope!!

FYI for anyone that got selected as an alternate... I am an alternate for both the OKC and Tulsa programs. I e-mailed the lady we were told to e-mail if we had questions, and she told me what number I am on the alternate list. Just thought I would me...

I was told that they would not start reviewing applications for the traditional program until after the deadline in January, so people would not be notified of acceptance/alternate/denial until mid-April. Judging by how long it took the accelerated p...
