Hello, I'm currently in my 2nd semester for the accelerated BSN program and am really enjoying it. I think it is completely doable as long as you put in the effort and the studying hours. The price is the same for out of state residents as it is for in state. Let me know if you have any more questions, I'm happy to help!

First of all congratulations on completing your second semester! I have a couple of small questions. My daughter received her book list and there's several " recommended" books along with the required ones. Did you purchase the recommended ones? If so, were you glad you did? Also anything else you would recommend getting that you thought has been very helpful to you? Thank you so much!

Thank you TexasRN2B93... My daughter doesn't get her packet until mid July, when my daughter asked about the orient ion date she was told that there wasn't one. How do u like OCU? Will you be staying on campus or off? My daughter is in Europe right now until the first part of August, but I'll get this message to her. Internet isn't dependable so far for her, so nothing personal if it takes her a little while to get back to you. She'll be on campus August 17th to move into the on campus Cokesbury apartments and get acquainted with OCU and the surrounding area. she has mentioned wanting to make contact with fellow nursing students, so she'll be excited to hear from you!

Sorry if this is a duplicate response. I posted a reply and I didn't see it. That's great about having quality professors. If you want to PM me I can give you my daughters number. She's in Europe right now until the first part if August, but she does have texting abilities. That's why I'm trying to keep the ball rolling for her. When she applied for Cokesbury, she was told it's pretty full but would have her on a list. About a week later she called inquiring about it and was told she got the last room in a quad (which is what she wanted). Ideally she wanted a quad with all nursing students, but she'll take what she can get. If Cokesbury is what you want, I would call and ask to have my name on the list in case someone backs out. Since her not knowing the area or any people we thought best at least for the first semester to live on campus. She might choose to get an apartment off campus after the first semester if she meets some nursing students that would like to share. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Interesting... My daughter was given her acceptance letter to OCU and was told by her advisor that she'll automatically be in the Accelerated program as soon as they receive her transcript from her other college stating she has a BA. They admitted her into the college based on her unofficial transcripts, but needed to see the final one before she's officially in. She has a place to live in the campus apartments, and when she asked about registering for classes they said they'll automatically do it for her when her official transcript arrives. They told her she will be receiving a packet in the mail mid July with all of the info she'll need. i hope this helped!

I emailed the school and asked the same question about how much the total price for the program would be. I was told $66,000.00 not including books and supplies and housing. My daughter didn't want dorms either. We found that the on campus apartments would be a good start. Getting an apartment off campus was going to be a little challenging for her at least for the first semester because of not knowing the area. My research has found that a place in a nicer area would be around a 20 minute driving trip to school every day, each way. I'd feel better at first any way if she was close to campus. Plus I didn't want her to get stuck paying of all of the rent if her roommate should drop out. I also heard the cooling bill is outrageous. My daughter has emailed a current student with some questions about housing and the program itself. She said quite a a few students have dropped out for various reasons, mostly because of not putting in enough time to the program ( in her opinion), so I didn't want to take a chance yet on a complete stranger be being able to pay rent. She's excited to share an apartment with 3 other girls and and hopefully at least 1 of them is in the same program. I'll keep you posted of anything new I find out. good luck!

She applied I think in March and was emailed her acceptance in about 2 weeks. They also sent a letter to her to. As long as you meet the admission standard your in. We won't be able to visit the campus first because she left this past Thursday for a 3 month trip through Eurooe, so no time between her graduating college then leaving for her trip. She only applied to programs back East and then OK as a back up. She was rejected from 2, one was only accepting 35 students and received over 700 applications. She has a decent GPA, but not a 4.0 that is needed for most schools. OK isn't her first choice as far as location goes, but decided it wouldn't be so bad for only 16 mo. She decided to apply for on campus housing at the Cokesbury apartments manly for convenience. She has done the dorm thing and didn't want that again. She wanted to get an apartment but with not knowing the area and not knowing anyone to share it with we thought it best to at least stay the first semester on campus and she could move off campus later should she decide to. As far as paying for all of this we'll need to get loans, not sure what kind yet. She was told last week to expect a packet mid July with all the info she'll need. She's very excited to start the program! What will you be doing as far as living arrangements?

Good afternoon. This is my first posting on this site. My daughter is doing the ABSN this Fall too. I've been helping her with gathering information on the school and general info on the area. We've never been to OKC ( she's from Washington State). I do know the first day of class is August 24th. My daughter is out of the country for the summer and has limited internet access. Maybe we can help each other out with what info we can findí ½í¸Š
