Hi Class of 2015, I recently was accepted and have my phone interview on Monday. I've read through all the posts, all helpful information so thanks to everyone for posting their experiences! Melissa told me not worry about the phone interview and that I will get my acceptance letter next week. Once I get more information about fin aid etc on Monday then I'll feel better about accepting and attending RCON, almost afraid to jinx it beforehand. The other issue I was wanted to make sure about was the regional accreditation, because I definitely want to get my Masters or DNP after so I'm going to call some schools this week just to confirm so I have more clarify about this topic. Ahhhh.....there is so much to do before end of January, but CONGRATS to all who got in and I look forward to chatting with and meeting those of you who are attending soon :) Also, if any former students have any feedback about the school, things you wish you had known before you started or just simply about preparing for school, I would LOVE to hear from you. Since taking out so much loans seems really daunting (esp since there are mixed reviews about job prospects/hiring/out of state positions etc.) Thanks in advance!

Thank you so much for the long post and advice, it is helpful to know what you are getting into beforehand, so I feel a little better about signing up for it now :) Are you applying to schools right now or are you already in nursing school? Would you be able to tell me which school did accept and which would not accept the online course and or/lab? Unfortunately, my undergrad university had a combined lab and lecture so I don't have a separate grade for it. Thank you again for taking out the time to give me some personal feedback, I really appreciate it!

Hi Lbaum, I want to sign up for the UNE physiology course, but before I sign-up I want to make sure I prepare myself. I have heard it is time-consuming and a difficult course but I've found very little information about the course review and format from someone who personally took the course. So any other details about your course experience would be helpful especially regarding the course acceptance at nursing schools you have applied too or are looking to apply too or schools that definitely don't accept it? I contacted two nursing schools who said they would take it and there are two who said they won't take online labs. 1. Do the professors provide any pre-tests or study guide for the exams? If so, are they similar regarding the test format and questions? 2. I'm re-taking the course for a better grade, 7 years later so I really need to get an "A". Are you able to see what questions you got wrong after the exam? 3. I read on the syllabus that you only get points for the exams and labs so are the lab post-quizzes graded or do you just get points for completion? Was the lab portion easy to navigate and understand? Also, do you get more than one attempt to do the lab quiz? 4. I also work full-time and wanted to know if did you do a lot of self-teaching from the book or do the lectures and professors cover everything you need to know and the book is just a supplement? Any helpful study tips or resources you used to do well in the course? 5. Also, how did the course show up on your transcript to schools? Thank you, any feedback would be very helpful :)
