I think the summer is accelerated so you most likely will not have time to work

Hey everyone, I applied to the OCC nursing program this past December 2018. I have a 4.0 GPA and a score of 17 and am hoping to get the fall start so that I can take pharmacology in the summer. Does the fall cohort finish the program earlier/graduate sooner/able to write NCLEX sooner? Please advise. Also, how soon do clinical's start, 1st or 2nd semester? Would we have a clinical placement in the fall or winter? Or do they begin as soon as pharmacology is completed? Does anyone know if a person becomes pregnant during the program (and is an excellent student/maintains good relationships with professors), how does the "incomplete mark" process work? Has anyone gone through the program while pregnant or with a newborn? I don't have any kids but my husband and I are open to the possibility (biological clocks are ticking hahah). If needed, I could quit my job to just focus on balancing school and a baby. Buttt, we may just wait until the program is over. I want to keep all doors open!!! Last note, I am planning on transferring into Oakland University's online RN-BSN program after writing the NCLEX. I am taking the Psychology Human Development class at OCC to transfer into it. Anyone else planning on doing the same thing? My end goal is to become a Nurse Practitioner. I'm hoping to work as an ICU nurse after graduating from OCC. What are your goals!?!? I'm hoping to make some life long, quality friendships in this program. Let's support and lift one another up!

I am also talking the same PSY in orchard ridge campus and I applied for nursing in Dec 2018. I too have the goals the same as like you. If time permits we can meet.

I think the program is about $6500, but I dont think that includes books, supplies and uniforms. So I would probably add 1500-2000 to that. You can find more information in the admissions guide on the program page.
