Hello. What is the schedule like for the hybrid program? How many days a week are you on campus for class/clinical and what are the hours? Thanks in advance.

Hey, last question. What book are you using? I cannot track the ISBN on Amazon. The RODP website is not providing the name of the book either . .

Hey!! Thank you for the information. Did you take Chemistry in HS or are you taking it via RODP as well? I am retaking A&P I & II(I previously got A's but that was more than five years ago), Micro and Chemistry via RODP. Thanks!

Hey, tishalu. Can you give me an update on your progress? Some people said that the E Campus class is unbearable. I am pretty good with science classes as well as the online format. Do you have any tips or tricks pertaining to this class?

How many days a week do you have Nursing classes(not counting English, Psych, etc)? When I looked at the course offering, it looks like classes are two days a week for about half of the day and clinical/skills lab are one day a week, but interchangeable. Are you required to be in class or on campus more than three days a week?

@Journey2Nursing1 Can you give me an update about this semester? If I read correctly, classes are Mon-Wed with a lab on Thursdays and another on Saturday. Is the Saturday lab in the AM or PM? Are you allowed to choose what time you attend? Also, course load. .Do you find it unbearable for a full time employee? I know that it will be heavy, but is it more easily managed since the program is spread out?

Congratulations again on your acceptance, ladies. Once you start the program, would you mind updating me on what days you are in class/labs, as well as how heavy the course load is? I am nervous about continuing to work full time while attending the program and I would love to hear your opinion. Thanks again and best of luck! One last thing. . . Are your labs on the MJ Campus or are you having to drive to Lebanon? Thanks.

@ CU_Hopeful(now CU_Baller) How many hours a week do you plan to work while in the program? Did they talk to you about your work schedule and offer any advice, or was it just a meet and greet? Congrats again!

Congrats!!!!!!!! Fill me in on your schedule once your get it, please. I would also love details about course load(reading) and clinical days!! What an exciting time for you!

Where are you all finding the schedule?

Thank you for all of the info @CU_Hopeful. Your reply answered most of the questions that I've had about the program. My wife is in her last semester in the Marian U accelerated BSN program, so I feel like I'll have my personal study guide when going through. I can also attest to the ridiculous amount of reading that is required. I'm still a semester away, but I'm getting pumped about this program. It is also good to hear that they pretty much accept everyone that applies as long as you meet the minimum criteria. Thanks again!

I just went back through the chain and didn't see anyone mentioning what their current GPA is. . . . For those that have applied and gotten into the program, what was your GPA upon acceptance? Also, does anyone know if they will accept a Chemistry transfer credit that was completed online and without a lab?

Did they tell you all how many people have applied? I spoke with a girl the other day that confirmed that their class size does not go over twenty, but she also made it sound like they may not have that many applicants. . .

Thanks again, CU_hopeful. I am interested to hear about your progression through the program and what your thoughts are on it. Best of luck to you!

Thanks, @CU_hopeful. I know that you are not in the program yet, but do you have any info on the class size? Will all semesters have the three day schedule? If so, it would make it a lot easier to complete the required homework/care plans/ etc. . . . I have two semesters left of required prerequisites(one if I could go full time), and then I will be applying. I am about a year out so I would love to hear from you all once you enter the program. Would also like to hear about drop out/failure rates if anyone has that info. Sounds like CU has a top notch program and high success rates with the traditional program. . . Thanks again.
