That information is no longer correct. I checked with the counseling department and was told, that its no longer active. There is no Priority 1 or 2. You have to have all of your pre-reqs completed

  • A &P 1 and 2
  • Microbiology with lab or Microbiology of health and disease
  • English 1510 and 1520 or Professional Communication instead of 1520
  • Intro to Psych
  • Nutriiton
  • Sociology
  • American Government
  • Humanities Elective
  • Physical Education

Isn't that 11 classes?

There are 11 pre-reqs that must be completed before or by the application deadline of December 15 for Fall of the following year. However, there is no longer Priority I(finished all 11 pre-reqs) & Priority II (which would be those who have not finished all pre-reqs, bu the majority of the Science classes).

In order to apply to OCC, you have to have all 11 pre-reqs finished!!!!:banghead:

Ok, sorry! I'm already in the program, I just thought you didn't know that was 11 classes. Sorry to make you upset.:nurse:

How do you like the school? I am signing up for the TPN program. I am graduating LPN school in 2 1/2 months, and wish to get an RN degree. I have all prereqs except the Pys Ed.

I like it. I underestimated how hard it would be and I had a crappy instructor for acute care clinicals, but I survived! I start my psych rotation next week, then ob, then med-surg. It's going to be a long 22.5 weeks! You should be able to get in for next fall I would think, especially since you are already going to be a LPN. For phys ed I took stress management. It's an easy A. Congratulations on your graduation! That's great! :yeah:

Thanks and good luck to you!

Hey Skitty4444 how do u like the LPN program? Was it a requirement that you complete all your pre-req's at OCC? How is the clinicals going and where do you take them at.

I'm currently a student there. I spoke with my counselor and she told me I also needed Math and Chemistry

You only need Math and Chem if you didn't pass them with a C or better in high school or if you didn't take the equivalance of those classes. The 11 above are the classes that count for your GPA for Nursing school.
