University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

[Mwitt75]

Hello I am looking at making a career change from business to nursing eventually going for NP. I need online live in Missouri found UWosh online accelerated, can anyone who is in or graduated from there give me details of how daily schedules occurred. Did you have chat time or specific times daily for login to school work etc. Just trying to figure out how to afford not working?

They told me that it may be a couple weeks earlier than the end of the month, but probably not early enough for scholarship apps due in early May.

Ugh, I feel like I've missed out on so many possible financial assistance purely due to the unusual application timeline.

Yeah, that's a big drawback for me. I'm very likely going to wait 'til next year and/or will go elsewhere because of that. I'm not having a stellar experience with online classes this semester (my grades are fine, but the teaching is highly variable), and I need as many non-loan funding options as possible. I did alert them to this issue in particular, and I know they talked about it as a group. It may or may not change anything about the timeline in the future, but they couldn't do much for this round. Not that it matters for me, since I haven't even been contacted for a phone interview. I assume that means I'm out of the running, but who knows? They do have a lot of applications to process, so I guess it's still possible. They're no longer my first choice, so it's less of a big deal to me at this point.

Hey guys! Are most of you from the Oshkosh area? I am about to graduate from the traditional program (1 week from today!), but happen to know many people who have gone through the accelerated program. I also have built great relationships with a lot of the excel instructors through school organizations (they have actually helped me get interviews at local hospitals). The point I'm trying to get at, if you are planning on applying to the excel, or traditional, program and would like to get involved in some of these organizations (and network with a lot of instructors), shoot me a message and maybe I can help.

I'm not from there. The accel program is online, so I may be wrong, but aren't a lot of the students from elsewhere? We won't even know if we're accepted until later this month. Thanks for the offer, though. Very nice.
