OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

U.S.A. Michigan

Hey everyone! Im back for my second application into the ADN program at OCC ::sigh:: As I did in the thread I created last year, I am creating a new one for all those applying to the nursing progam for next fall. Lets keep in touch and keep one another updated. Good luck guys!!! :)

LOL addiesmama, I sense a little jealousy. If you don't want to hear people's issues then don't go on this site, its a forum for the love of god!!

addiesmamma, i can understand that your not happy that you didnt get into the program, i would not have made it either this year with my gpa, so i count myself as lucky to have gotten in, in 2010. that being said, you are not in the program, so you do not know what pressure we are put under. the prereqs are a cake walk compared to the actual program. you are not dealing with the super egos of some of these instructors that we are. your not staying up till 2am working on nursing care plans and getting up for clinical 3 hrs later, then having your clinical instructor lecturing you about how you should be prepared with a good nights sleep. so while i hope you will make it into next years program, please give the rest of us a chance to vent a little of our stress, and get a bit of advise from those of us who have been through, what others are going through now.

I totally understand both sides. I didn't make it in 2009 not even when I would tried to get into 2010. So I changed, I applied to LPN and made a cut. Now in my 3 classes of nursing, I stress out almost every days. I can not sleep well at night because I haven't gotten my care plan done yet, I haven't prepared enough for lecture or lab quizzes/check offs. I pray every times I step out of the house that I hope to maintain my 80%. If I missed one question, that means my grade will drop and that not good.

I wish you luck for your future success.

thank you.

addie, what you fail to realize is YES we as nursing students do want to hear whining from other nursing students... Why? Because it gives us all the opportunity to be supportive to one another..also to offer words of advise/wisdom such as what whosyourdaddy does. I would rather hear whining and offering assistance than having another student drop do to having no support .. I sincerly hope you changed your way of thinking before you enter the program, because I sure wouldn't want such a negative person being my nurse!!!!!!

jealously is such a inhibiting trait...there's so many things out there that can help people relieve stress, i love yoga myself makes me feel great! Thenb I can usually get over things easier and move on instead of dwelling on failures and lashing out..waaahhh
