Is anyone applying for the nursing program at OCCC in the spring? I turned my application in this past Monday, 8/11. I talked to the nursing counselor, so I might be able to answer some of your questions. She only sees 5 or 6 people a day. It's going to get worse as the deadline for the spring gets closer, which is some time around labor day. Couple of key facts that I can share:
Point cut off last semester (Fall 2014) for alternates was 16. She said if you have 17 or 18 you have a good competitive chance at getting in.
This is the last time that Pharmacology, Medical Terminology, and Nursing Overview will be used for preference points.
She told me that I could earn a CNA by attending a 2 week course. I don't have the information in front of me but I can look for it if anyone needs it.
I decided to wait until June and try for the BADNAP program. To the person that gets the spot, sorry I took so long to decline. Lol I had to think it over. Best of luck to all the people who got accepted and the alternates!!
Hi everyone! I wanted to see if anyone had any information about the alternate list? Im alternate #7 and was wondering how many alternates (on avg) get in spring semester? I think ive moved up though i was #7 day one. Anything is helpful im losing my mind waiting for the call!!!!!
Thanks nevergiveup! That makes me excited and nervous! I heard last semester they only went to alternate 3! I had 17 pts and still was #7 this semester was pretty competitive. Does anyone know what the cutoff was?
Hello everyone. I created the FB PAGE for our class it's called OCCC Nursing class of December 2016 it has a graduation CAP as the icon hope to see you all join
If any other alternates are wondering they are still on alternate #4 im #7 . I was told by the director of the nursing program and the lady over admissions that i do have a very very good chance of getting in and to make sure i do all the requirements necessary for admissions . The other colleges do not send out their acceptance letters until fall break so i still have a chance! And i will actually recieve a email mid november inviting me to orientation! Im just praying and trying to stay positive! Hopefully ill be able to be apart of that nursing group nevergiveup lol!
