Can anyone here tell me precisely when IS orientation? As in: when is the drop-dead date to know I didn't make it in? ?

Tahana_R · Mar 5, 2021

Hi Betty! I’m in the same boat. My friend got in, she said orientation is May 18th Tuesday.

Thank you, Tahana. With #6, you should be a shoe-in. I'm envious. LOL

Hey y’all I work at Intergris and all the badnap students and regular students come up there for clinical and they told me half the badnap had to drop out and go to the traditional program scary me crazy they said it was so intense but I wonder did COVID play a part to

I've heard that dropout / transfer of programs is high as well. I catch myself thinking selfishly when I hear this - because I want all those who have any doubt at all about the intensive program to make their decision before accepting it, rather than eliminating a spot someone else might succeed with from the alternate list. But then none of us knows what could hit around the corner. ?

Oh man that makes me nervous! I’ve heard the program was intense. I agree with you as well Betty. I’m impatiently waiting on a response cause if I get it I’m going to finish I’ve been wanting to be an RN for too long.

I agree with this. I believe that people know if they are good with time management and the ability to cope under stress long before they sign up for what they know will be an intense program. If they have any doubt at all they may not finish then they should just apply for a traditional program.

Their acceptance packet says that they will let us know about drug testing during orientation. It also says that surscan will send us an email telling us where to get tested and when. So I'm not too sure which is more accurate. I went ahead and registered and paid for drug testing and the background check because I like to be on top of things. I'm setting up the myclinicalexchange info now so that I can get all my immunizations uploaded as well. I signed up for the BLS course on the 6th of April as well but for the 10 AM one. Looking forward to meeting you at orientation.

Did you already get your Liability Insurance? I was trying to do that through the portal but couldn’t figure out how.

I did. If you log into the OCCC student portal and click finances you then click make a payment. From there just select Liability Insurance from the drop-down menu and pay the bursar. Another way would be to head to campus and just pay it in person.
