OCCC Spring 2017

Published

Hey everyone! Wondering who is applying to the Spring 2017 traditional RN program at OCCC? I am! :nurse:

I am about to turn in my application now. I just found out yesterday that my ACT scores were just barely too old to be used for preference points otherwise I would have had a total of 16. So I had to scrounge and try to study as much as possible last night and take the accuplacer tests this morning to try to make up the points. I got a good enough score on the writing but I was one question away on the Math. So I'm now having to apply with 14 points instead of 16 which really upsets me. My gpa isn't that great it's a 2.9 so I don't know I guess we will find out in a few weeks.

DID You get in with 14 points?

I want to apply to OCCC for the fall, I know that application is due pretty soon. I am so nervous, how many points did you all get in with?

Every semester is different, but I was told that the norm is usually around 14 points. I just turned mine in last Friday with 17 points and a 3.889 GPA. I hate that we have to wait 8 long nerve wrecking weeks!

I heard that this evening program has an all day lab during the week. Have any of you heard that? I was under the impression that I would be able to keep my full-time, Monday through Friday, 8-4:30pm job as long as I secured evening/weekend clinicals.
Hi! I'm applying for the Fall 2017. How did the labs work out for you guys this past semester? What was the schedule like? I'm freaking out because I had no idea it would be a full day of labs on top of class!

A friend of mine is on her last semester of the program and she said there will be 2 days of lecture from 9-12pm and then a lab day from like 8-5pm and then a clinical day that is around 12 hours

Oh great ... I already got approved from work to take the class, they'll never let me take a whole day a week on top of that. Why aren't they up front about this when you apply? I would never have known if it weren't for this thread. Is there a weekend option for the labs?

It would be 2 full days. Lab for one day and clinicals for the 2nd day. Sometimes u can do clinicals on the weekends, but it depends on what clinicals we are doing. And lab has to be done during the week.

Hey there!

I also found out that we will be doing lab or clinicals, not both. Some weeks we will do both in the beginning but it will usually only be 1 or the other.
