OCCC Spring 2015

Hello,

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.

Hope that helps! :)

    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?

    The cut off was 17 because that's what I had. But the GPA Is what made the difference. Mine was a little above a 3.0

    I think you can call OCCC and they will tell you what alternate they are on now, they won't have a problem telling you that

    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!
