University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

Nursing Students Online Learning

Published

Hi All,

I'm new to this site and to the field of nursing. Has anyone gone to this school and if so, what did you think?

I live in San Diego, CA, and there is an online program that this school offers. I'm 3 prerequisites away from applying to the school, with a start date of August 08. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

anyone daring enough to call Kenessa? I would, but I bugged her so much last week, haha.

I'm viciously checking my iPhone for email... to no avail of course...

Did you guys all also notice the change in the OU application status screen? With the EmplID number? I am not sure who is and isn't looking at the other thread, so I thought I'd ask here...

I just spoke with Anita B in Oklahoma.

She said that she just had a meeting with the committee and that they JUST got the batch of possibilities and are in the process of going over the final decisions. We will not be receiving any emails this week re: acceptance. Anita will be the one sending out emails and she said that she will TRY to get them all out shortly after she receives the list. No guarantees of receiving emails this time as this cohort is larger than the last. She also said that "not everybody" in the past rec'd an email.

However, letters of acceptance will be snail mailed out once a final decision has been reached...so start looking for them LATE next week. Anita could not guarantee that we'll hear anything, at all, next week as she could not get the committee to name a deadline. She's hoping that a decision will be reached next week.

Re: Orientation, she's heard rumors that it will take place between Aug 13-15th. But isn't positive.

So that's about it! We're definately NOT going to hear anything this week, but hopefully, late next week!

What a bummer! A girlfriend of mine just e-mailed me and said she heard OU acceptance letters were being mailed out tomorrow. I'm not sure where she heard that from. She is meeting, or has already met with Kennessa today, to go over pre-ap stuff.. I'll find out more info and let everyone know. From what Renee found out, it looks like we'll have to wait another week!

On my financial aid award letter it had this breakdown:

Books and Supplies $3,860

Computer expenses $2,500

Tuition $19,930

They threw in housing $ too, but I don't know if I'm gonna take all of that.

Hope that helped, and congrats to you too!!!!
