Awaiting letter from OCC in March

Published

Ok. I am waiting for a letter from OCC to be accepted into the Fall 2009 RN program. I went right into this after high school and didn't pass the first semester by 5 points! At that time, that was it and you were done and that was all their was too it. Fast forward 15 years and the rules have changed and here I am-scared too death. I know the reason I did not pass before was because I did not put any effort into it. I am fortunate to have a caring husband who is very supportive and two great kids...but now everyone is counting on me and it's kind of scary. I guess it's easier to tell all of you this because you don't really know me and I don't have to look any of you in the face if I don't make it....guess I just needed to get this off my chest and get a little encouragement. If you're waiting for a letter from OCC in March, I sincerely wish you all the best of luck. Thanks for listening :)

Hang in there and don't stress out about it. You're older and more mature now so if you do get into the program you will do fine. I am currently in OCC's LPN program and just started in January. Last Fall I was like you anxiously awaiting. We actually received our letters a week before they said we would but you never know. I have 3 kids and am currently working 2 part-time jobs while going to class and so far I have an A- average in my Pharmacology class. It requires a lot of studying and a very supportive family. I hope you get in but stressing about it is not going to help. Relax and enjoy time with your family now because once you're in the program you won't have much family time.

Good luck!

If you dont get in this time there is always next year! And just consider it as one more year you get to be close with your family! I am also waiting to get a letter in March from OCC.. its very scary for me too because I applied last year and did not get in.. I tried to raise my GPA, but I dont know if it will be enough. I hope we BOTH get in :-D

Thank you for your reply. I am waiting w/ a 3.88 GPA...but I guess the waiting really is the hardest part! I am crossing my fingers for both of us! Kudos to you-I know we all have worked hard to get where we are :)

That is great! I thought if I don't get into the ADN nursing program that maybe I will apply to the LPN program....it sounds like you are working really hard-keep it up-I'm sure it will pay off!! Who is your Pharm teacher and is he/she any good? You have an awesome grade in that class :)

Relax...With a 3.88 you should get in. Yes, don't rule out the LPN program if you don't get in. You can always go back for the RN later. I love my Pharm class and teacher. You're not supposed to mention instructors names on this forum but PM me and I will respond. Good luck! I hope you get in.

Hey-thanks for letting me know-I am totally new to this and did not know about using names-and it tells me I don't have access to private messaging?! Did you upgrade your membership to be able to do this??? Thanks....

I'm a first year Nursing student and I'm sure you will be fine. It's a tough program and it doesn't get any easier until the 2nd year, or so I'm told. I just finished my psych rotation and I'm going to OB next. It's been hard like I said but if you study hard and stay focused and on top of things, you'll be great! I wish you the best of luck!
