OCCC Nursing Program for Spring 2013

brit57 · Dec 11, 2012

Congrats Katherine! I know how nervous you were! I pulled up Mineonline, and went to the NP1 course under "search and register" and it shows that theres 8 spots still available. Have you all already registered for it? If so, I wonder if they really hold spots for NP1 students that might need to repeat it too, ah! this waiting is painful.

I didnt think Id get nervous, kept telling myself not to, but I think as this semester is almost over, its getting harder to push the thoughts out of my mind.

Yes my mineonline shows that I am registered for NPI so there really may be 8 spots. But they may be people who have 'enrollment issues' as well. Just keep calling and checking with them to see what number alternate they are on. Good luck!

I'm so happy you got in Katherine!! Congrats again! Now we need to get ready for this roller coaster lol! See you in January!

Maybe we could get together before and do some studying for the dosage calc test? Let me know if your interested.

Leslye3404 · Dec 12, 2012

Brit I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! You never know because it seemed like nobody was going to drop and now 3 alternates have been called! Good luck!!!

Congrats to all of the people that go into the program for spring! How early did you get your applications in?

Leslye3404 · Dec 14, 2012

I turned my app in the last week it was due.

KatherineC · Dec 14, 2012

Leslye I think that is a must. I will text you (or you text me) after New Years and we will hit the dosage calc's hard.

Merry Christmas!

I spoke to one of the directors this morning, I can't name names on here, but she said that they had a record # of applicants(we knew that) and that I (#15) probably won't be called, unless a lot of people drop, unlikely. I'm ok with that. Going to focus on getting a&p 2 in the spring, that will leave just micro left besides the NP courses. And apply again for fall. I like the day time schedule more, but was willing to do either! :) going to apply to the local LPN program as well. And land where im supposed to. Congrats to you all, I will either see you in the fall or apply for the career ladder in 14. Good luck!

If anyone would like a "mentor" feel free to friend me and PM me. I'd love to help all of you in any way I can. Not even 6 months ago, I was in your shoes. NP1 is challenging, but it's also fun!!

Some tips to get prepared:

-Do all your readings that they tell you to.

-Practice Dosage calculation. You don't need the stress of failing it the first time and it's really not that difficult if you practice.

-Get organized now

-If you have kids, love on them as much as possible now.. go to the zoo, take em to the movies etc. You might find that doing the fun stuff once you get started will be a little more difficult.

Good Luck!!
