Hey, You have to attend one of their Informational Meetings. I went to one last month and they will answer all of your questions. Its mandatory that you attend one so that it will be in your file. Good luck!

I will be finishing up all of my pre. req's(and then some), this summer so I will be applying to OCC's ADN program whenever I can after the semester. I have not yet attended an info. session, (will be going to one in June) and haven't taken the Math proficiency test either.
So, just a few more things.
However, my main concern is... if and when I will be accepted into the program. For all of you who have experience in this, if I apply after this summer semester, what are my chances of starting the program in the Fall of 2007. Or do you think most likely I will have to wait until 2008?
Any info. will be appreciated!
Feel free to PM me.

Oakland is a wonderful school for nursing and recognized by all hospitals and corporations that hire nurses.

They have the toughest GPA program in Michigan.

That is all good to know, are you speaking about Oakland Community College though, or Oakland University?
What do you mean toughest GPA program? Grading wise you mean? Or competitive admissions by GPA?
Oakland Community College goes by first come first serve for admissions, that is the best way I can explain it, the sooner you apply, the sooner you get in. Did you graduate from OCC?

Hello all,
I have not had time to read this thread, I'm pretty sure this question has all ready been addressed.

I spoke with someone at OCC in the nursing department and she told me that there is no HESI or NET to gain entrance into the nursing program, is this true? She also stated that there is no wanting list, is this true? If these statements are true what is required? How long did you have to wait to get into the program. I should finish my pre-reqs. by spring '07. Thanks for your help. :-)

[ashdun0324]

She is correct, there is no NET exam or HESI. There are some pre-req's that have to be completed BEFORE applying to the school of nursing however. They are located on the school's website, but I HIGHLY recommend seeing a counselor at the school of Nursing at OCC. They will go through a checklist of classes and things you need to have completed before applying.
She is also correct when saying that there is no wait-list. If you apply and do not make it in, you need to reapply the next year. Applications are accepted May of every year. However, that is it. Just make sure you have all the classes done. I looked on the web-site and I though I had everything taken care of, but there are high school requirements too, that really set me back.
I am not sure how long I will wait to get in the program, but I have heard that generally people apply 2 times before acceptance.
Admissions goes by, the date you finished your pre-req's, then how many of them completed at OCC, lastly, GPA. I will finish my pre-req's this fall and will apply by May. I am looking at starting sometime in 2008, and that is if all goes well!
I am not sure exactly about the wait though! I have heard a lot of different things!
Good luck, and PM me anytime for anything!
