Wondering if anyone else is enrolled to start January 2013. I'm getting excited but also a little anxious about what the pace will be like. Thought I'd connect with others who are just beginning the OU RN to BSN experience!
Dont procrastinate and write ur papers before the deadline. Start early and it will fly by...
My advice is to find a good APA web site like citationmachine.net ( although it is not fool proof, it helps a lot in formatting the references and in text citations.) I spend most of my time on papers trying to get the darn APA correct. Set up your flash drive or whereever you save your work into folders and be sure to watch deadlines. I don't know if they fixed it or not, but sometimes on Blackboard Discussion Boards the way you set up your references formats, Blackboard will change. I wasted so much time trying to get it to look right. Finally I emailed the TA and she said, OH that's OK, we know Blackboard messes up formatting. I felt overwhelmed the first week but then I settled into a routine and it went smooth after that.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.
