One of the biggest questions we get is whether our nursing program is an accredited nursing program. There are several accredited online nursing schools available throughout the country, and we understand the need for accreditation. For one, the appropriate accreditation many times gives those who wish to move on to a further level of education the ability to do so.

First and foremost though, accreditation provides assurance that the program in which you are enrolled or are considering enrolling is engaged in continuous review and improvement of its quality, that it meets nationally endorsed standards in the profession, and that it is accountable for achieving what it sets out to do.

Because we feel that nursing education should be given the highest accreditation possible, our program has regional accreditation by the National League of Nursing; regional accreditation is considered the "gold" standard for accreditation, and it is why we feel that we can offer one of the best online nursing schools that create quality BSN Nurses.

The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program constantly strives to be one of the best online nursing schools, and we want to give those in search of nursing education the most viable options available. Nursing schools typically require that in order to be accepted into a program in which you can earn a bachelor of science nursing degree, you need certain prerequisite classes to be eligible.

Our nursing program is no exception to that rule; our accelerated nursing program requires 11 classes prior to application be completed and posted to a college transcript with a minimum of a 2.5 GPA. The non-science classes are as follows: English Composition I and II, Statistics, Nutrition, US History, US Government, and Developmental Psychology. The science classes require at least 4 hours due to the lab component that is involved and are as follows: General Chemistry, Microbiology, Human Anatomy, and Human Physiology. (This is just for the ABSN Second Degree Program--our RN to BSN program is different).

You should understand that while some of these prerequisites are general in nature, there are specific things that our admissions looks for within these core prerequisites. So you may be asking--How am I to know if mine are good to go? Well, we have a solution for you! Even though we are the University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program--we have offices in San Diego and admissions counselors within them! If you are looking to get into a San Diego Nursing Program and have looked through San Diego nursing schools, consider giving our nurse training program a look!

If you'd like to see about setting up a time to talk to our admissions counselors or have questions about your prerequisites, we'd love to hear from you! If you are ready to get a jump start on your nursing career, give us a call at 1-888-696-8276 or send us an email at info@ounursing.com. We look forward to getting you on the road to your online nursing bachelors degree!

For those of you that have researched BSN programs in San Diego, accelerated nursing programs, or even just nursing programs in general across the country, you've probably ran into a word that not many people like: impacting.

Impacting can be defined as the ratio of applicants to spaces available in a given program; for nursing programs in San Diego, California nursing schools as a whole, and many other places around the country, impacting is normally quite a concern, because generally there are many more people looking to start a nursing program as opposed to spaces available. It's no secret that nurses in San Diego are a huge need, and the nursing shortage across the country has brought about many expanded traditional programs as well as new online nursing schools. Still, impacting remains a chief barrier to entrance into even the best online nursing schools.

At the University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program, impacting is something that we have taken into consideration with our nursing education. For one, we offer three start dates per year, giving more access to many more people to get their nurse training. We also do not have waiting lists; our normal process is that individuals who are applying for a specific start are pooled together, and out of the pool of applicants, we take the best 72-80 students per start. Those individuals who would not be accepted in our accelerated nursing program for that session would then have the ability to re-apply for the next start, where the same process would occur.

The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing Program offers accelerated bachelor of science nursing degrees to those who have a bachelor degree in a non-nursing field or those that are currently RNs who would like to achieve their bachelor of science nursing degree. If you are interested in learning more about this San Diego nursing program and be on the fast track to your nurse career, give us a call at 1-888-696-8276 or email us at info@ounursing.com. We'd love to hear from you!
