   Also, FYI if you are planning on going into the nursing program, it is held only at the Highland Lakes Campus...I dont know how far away you live from there, I live about an hour away, but it is so impossible to get into any nursing program I decided...

3. Prereq! Will they ask to see diploma

   Krisk5 replied to suchadoll318's topic in ADN/BSN

   I am currently going to OCC and starting the nursing program this fall. When you begin classes, your diploma is not necessary. Of course any transcripts are needed to transfer classes, and it seems there are a couple classes that may require a highsc...

   Does anyone know how they choose which NUR 1290 class you get??? I am trying to take the online course, and think that there are only 2 of those offered. It is the only one that will work with my schedule (I know that when I actually begin the progra...

   I remember the info session telling us that the GPA will continue to go up each year. So it will soon get to the point where a 4.0 is all they will accept. In that case they will have to find another way to accept students. I was so lucky to find thi...

    They have not told anyone yet what the GPA cut off was for the RN program this year...I am sure they know but they wont give the info out until we receive the letters...as far as the LPN program, I would not be surprised if the GPA was that high, bec...

    Krisk5 replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan

    Yep, I definitely think that would help...as long as you are actually studying it. In a class you are forced to learn it and test yourself on it. But if you are disciplined enough, that would definitely help a bunch. Like I said, that class is probab...

    As far as I know, it does not matter where you took any of those prereq classes...whether they are from another school or OCC, the GPA is calculated from those classes alone. So to the person above me, the only classes you are worried about are those...
