How was the meeting yesterday? I can't figure out a way to send a private message with my contact info to someone. Could anyone summarize what they went over? Did they mention when enrollment would be open for Foundations? Thanks! :)

I work full time right now until December. I wasn't planning on working during the first semester but if I'm only taking 7 hrs I may try to work part time too. I'm doing my CPR next Wednesday and doing all my titers, PPD, and get my flu shot next week. I don't have my immunization records, so I have to get all that. Congrats, means!! I bet that wait was awful! It will be worth it though!

That would be awesome -- thank you so much! I will see if I PM you my contact info. Re: enrollment, from what I understood is that they have to manually add the people to be able to enroll in Fundamentals. Because of that, they usually wait until close to the November 18th deadline to do so. Somehow I never realized the program is 5 semesters vs. 4. The only class they have listed on the curriculum that I haven't taken is Fundamentals. I am worried what else I will do since that's only 7 hours! I'm eager to hear about uniform brand and the exact color we need. November and December are crazy months for me, so I am knocking off as much as I can ASAP. Do you have your CPR certification already?

I am unable to go to the November 18th meeting. Would anyone be able to pick up extra handouts or email me a copy/picture of them? I spoke to the lady at the front desk in the nursing office today and she said it's mostly just going over uniform, enrollment, etc. I hate that I have to miss it, but I have an obligation that day that I absolutely can't break. Thanks! :)

I am 33 and I moved back home for nursing school! Do NOT move out and take on more debt and stress just because of what other people may think. I am divorced, and I moved out of home at age 18 and didn't look back -- until now. There is NO reason to take out more loans to pay rent on something that has no return. Enjoy having a free place to stay with the support of a mother who clearly loves you. I know people can work through school to cut down loans, but it was not something I wanted to have to worry about. I will work during the summer, but during the school year I am going to focus on finally accomplishing my dream. For me personally, it will cut my loans in half by living with her. My future self will thank me. I think your future self will too!

I live in Edmond and I still didn't get mine until yesterday. I was worried too, but I bet you'll get yours tomorrow. I know the anticipation is brutal!

It finally came! I got in as well!!! Looks like we have a lot to do! Congrats again to you (us!) all!

I waited on the mail until 4:30 and I didn't get my letter yet. Ugh! Maybe it will come today. I'm starting to worry now! Congrats to you both though! :)

I came here to post the same thing! I live in Edmond, so hopefully the post office won't take too long! I am so excited, but also on pins and needles now!!

From what I understand they do take the GPA of the last 30 hours! I was glad to hear that because that's a 4.0 for me as well. One of my professors was on the decision board for years and I spoke to her briefly about it. She seemed to think with my scores that I'd be fine, so I imagine you're definitely fine! Great job on the TEAS! I spoke to the nursing advisor in August and she was the one who told me it would be around Thanksgiving. I have a feeling that is the latest they'll go out -- hopefully we won't have to wait that long! I'll be out of town for Thanksgiving, so if I don't hear by then I know I'll be silently dying the whole time with anticipation. I'll be sure to update when I hear! Best of luck! Edited to add: I looked back in old posts. It seems that the Spring 2015 group found out around November 5th. :)

I applied for the Spring 2017. I think will 18 you'll be more than okay! I believe they are any science classes, with a max of 6 points from them.

This is all secondhand (and probably thirdhand) knowledge, so take it with a grain of salt. It's been awhile since I heard, but I want to say it was around 15 with the lowest accepting being a 13. I applied with 14. I missed 2 points by making a 95 on the writing instead of a 96.

I am applying to both UCO and OCCC for the Spring 2017 semester. All of my CPT tests are over 2 years old as of June, so I need to retake those for the preference points. I plan on doing that next Monday and then sending off my application. I love OCCC (I have taken all my pre-reqs there), but ideally I think I want to head straight to be BSN at UCO. I will be happy with either school though! I made a 76 on my TEAS and have a 3.95 overall GPA. I should be applying to OCCC with 18 preference points if I get the max allowed from the CPT tests. Best of luck to everyone. :)

The deadline for UCO's traditional RN program for Spring 2017 is coming up on September 9th! I have seen posts in the past of students connecting, so I thought I would give it a shot. :) Acceptance letters, I was told, should go out around Thanksgiving. About Me: I took my TEAS yesterday and made a 76%. I had hoped to do better, but I admittedly did not study like I should have! I have a 4.0 science GPA and a 3.95 overall. I will be sending off my application in the next couple of weeks after I get my transcripts from my summer class. I believe the average TEAS for the last semester of accepted UCO students was 79% (the nursing advisor has a sheet of all the averages of TEAS tests, GPA's, etc. -- just FYI!) Hopefully some more fellow applicants will come along this post!
