It looks like I am probably getting into LPN school starting in January and ending in December next year. I want to go on to an RN as soon as possible, and I am looking at the OCC program for LPNs to transition.

If anyone has done the program, I have a few questions:

1. Is there a waiting list? If not, is the program as competitive as the "normal" ADN program? I have a BA, good test scores, etc, so I'll probably be in good shape, but the catalog does not list very many requirements.

2. There are three listed prerequisites: A&P I and II and microbiology. Can any of them be taken concurrently with the nursing classes, or must they be done ahead of time?

I'd appreciate any feedback you can give me.
