University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

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.

ughhh 200 wow

of course our luck when we apply they have the most applications

I do believe this is for SD ..last time I checked there were 180 for SD...I wonder how many they will accept ...looking at the summer semester it does not look good :(

I have heard that they are having difficulty getting enough clinical hours through the local hospitals and that there are not enough clinical instructors for all of the students they were accepting. Either way, if you are having trouble with pre-reqs and had low GPA as a result, I would recommend reinforcing those subjects. The program is difficult, and you will have a lot of challenges in doing well. Time management is key, and even that doesn't help for the summer semester when you take 16 credits in 10 weeks. I don't mean to discourage you at all, just be realistic so you can do well when you get accepted:) Good Luck!

For the Glendale students,

If you don't mind me asking, what is your schedule like? What days are your study days and clinical days? Basically how many days are you at Glendale and for how many hours? Are there mandatory study groups or is it voluntary depending on your fellow classmates?

I live in Orange County and it's a bit of a drive so I am curious to know what the schedule is like. Any responses would be greatly appreciated!!!

Thank you and Good Luck to everybody!

I have an iPhone, and didn't use it but once on the floor. You don't really need it for anything. At least in my experience. Maybe once you get to 4th semester and you have more autonomy, but for now, it doesn't really matter.

But if your question is if the school has a preference, they do not or at least have not said anything to us about preference.

They have payment plans for those not using financial aid, or you can pay it all at once or in installments.

thank you so much..you are always so helpful

I was asking about the blackberry because someone said to make sure a phone is allowed to be used on the floor (this if i decide not to get a PDA instead)

do you have any idea what payment plans they have? monthly etc ??? how much?

sorry I am asking so many questions

thank you
