I've been lurking around here for awhile and I'm wondering if anyone else is starting the OCC nursing program in Sept. like me!
I already have my schedule and (most of) my books, but I'm wondering about what other supplies to get that may be useful. (Do you know when our "uniforms" and MedSurg book will be available?)
Also, is there any A&P, chem, or nutrition coursework I should study up on to help me out first semester?
Hi am currently preparing to apply to OCC's RN program, for May of 06. Does anyone have any words of advice or have had experience applying to this program and know how admissions and acceptance procedures go? Who gets accepted, when they get accepted, etc?
Hi - I am at the pre-nursing level and in the process of completing my pre-reqs. I live in Oakland County and wish to for my ADN in Oakland Community college.
Can people throw me some light on what is the approximate wait time at OCC? I heard there is soem concept of Priority I,II and III. How do these work. Any feedback is appreciated.

Hey, You have to attend one of their Informational Meetings. I went to one last month and they will answer all of your questions. Its mandatory that you attend one so that it will be in your file. Good luck!
I will be finishing up all of my pre. req's(and then some), this summer so I will be applying to OCC's ADN program whenever I can after the semester. I have not yet attended an info. session, (will be going to one in June) and haven't taken the Math proficiency test either.
So, just a few more things.
However, my main concern is... if and when I will be accepted into the program. For all of you who have experience in this, if I apply after this summer semester, what are my chances of starting the program in the Fall of 2007. Or do you think most likely I will have to wait until 2008?
That is all good to know, are you speaking about Oakland Community College though, or Oakland University?
What do you mean toughest GPA program? Grading wise you mean? Or competitive admissions by GPA?
Oakland Community College goes by first come first serve for admissions, that is the best way I can explain it, the sooner you apply, the sooner you get in. Did you graduate from OCC?
I have not had time to read this thread, I'm pretty sure this question has all ready been addressed.
I spoke with someone at OCC in the nursing department and she told me that there is no HESI or NET to gain entrance into the nursing program, is this true? She also stated that there is no wanting list, is this true? If these statements are true what is required? How long did you have to wait to get into the program. I should finish my pre-reqs. by spring '07. Thanks for your help. :-)
She is correct, there is no NET exam or HESI. There are some pre-req's that have to be completed BEFORE applying to the school of nursing however. They are located on the school's website, but I HIGHLY recommend seeing a counselor at the school of Nursing at OCC. They will go through a checklist of classes and things you need to have completed before applying.
She is also correct when saying that there is no wait-list. If you apply and do not make it in, you need to reapply the next year. Applications are accepted May of every year. However, that is it. Just make sure you have all the classes done. I looked on the web-site and I though I had everything taken care of, but there are high school requirements too, that really set me back.
I am not sure how long I will wait to get in the program, but I have heard that generally people apply 2 times before acceptance.
Admissions goes by, the date you finished your pre-req's, then how many of them completed at OCC, lastly, GPA. I will finish my pre-req's this fall and will apply by May. I am looking at starting sometime in 2008, and that is if all goes well!
I am not sure exactly about the wait though! I have heard a lot of different things!
Thank you! thank you! thank you! I currently attend davenport. I will transfer to MCC or OCC for winter '07. Which OCC campus do you attend? Which program are you in? How do you like OCC?
