I was #12 on the alternate list in Spring 2021 session and was able to get in eventually.  You will get in too. 

You have no idea how much you took off my shoulders saying this , so thank you for going out of your way to do so. Also, thank you for sharing your experience. I didn’t get in the program when I applied for Fall, so I am praying that now is my time. Still scared of actually getting into the program too. I hope I can do it, but I know I have no choice but to make it. I will update here with my progress for others to see as well.

This is a perspective from a recent (10/7 pinning ceremony) OCCC nursing graduate. The program is exciting and hectic. I am a mom of two girls and my husband helped me a lot. Without his help, I wouldn't have made it. Remember to study from Day1. In our cohort, I saw several students were not able to score 666/900 in first semester and they were forced to leave the program. Don't take this program as walk over a cake. You will have one lecture per week and one lab. Our lecture was via zoom as it was pandemic.  The students in our class were mature and helpful and there was no drama whatsoever. The teachers are awesome and very knowledgeable.  I scored a C grade in first semester and the rest were B grades in remaining semesters. Don't forget to apply for scholarships as I got $700 waived in my tuition. My experience at OCCC was awesome, better than my BS experience :)

Hello! Thanks for sharing your experience in the program. May I ask about the exam systems? Are we taking tests on campus? I've studied online only under pandemic, so little information I have.

Initially the tests were proctored  online in first two semesters due to pandemic. For the last two semesters, tests  were conducted at campus. Due to pandemic, all classes were online except the labs.

Does anyone know what number the school is at on the alternate list? I applied with 16 points and I’m trying to see if I’m closer to getting in yet or if I should just count it as a loss.

Do any of y’all remember what day your orientation was versus the first day you had classes?

Update 5/5/22: First semester is almost over. So far I have passed all of my exams. ATI fundamentals exam first try is tonight and then next Tuesday is the lecture final. Good luck everyone! We have came so far. And to anyone trying to get in the program still who is reading this don't give up. It's still better than Chemistry LOL.

 

To anyone accepted in the program I would say to start practicing dimensional analysis. !! And get organized and find a way to STAY organized. 

And its hard work yall but its completely doable. Just stay focused and remember your end goal.
