Nursing Students School Programs

Hi, has anyone received any news from Ohlone with lottery results or acceptance letters?

They still haven't posted anything online so just wondering if we'd receive news via email first.

Thanks!

I haven't been informed about orientation. We got info about drug testing and health forms.

Thanks luffle!

Please let me know if there is going to be one. I wanted to attend.

congratulations angela! and no I haven't been notified of any orientation, which is too bad, because I had hoped we would have something like that before registering and all that.. I hope I don't screw anything up!

I made a facebook page for our group, just really so I don't have to keep coming on this website :) for fall or spring students, just to make it easy for all of us..

I'm not sure how it will work when you go to it, if you can just join it or what, but we'll figure it out. Hopefully this helps everyone! I'm already getting a little worried that I'm going to mess something up or miss something!

I know it might sound silly but what now?? I'm in for Spring, what should I do at this point? I m not sure if I should start immunizations yet since it is early or should I? I have my CPR done at this point. I can't register for classes yet and don't know what books to buy. Any thoughts?

Don't get your shots until they tell you to. It's usually on a cycle. Also, CPR has to last for the school year so have to remember when you need to renew it. I would review anatomy and physiology in your free time so you aren't totally overwhelmed by the time you start.

Thanks luffle!

One more question: can I do my physical right now or is there a certain time frame for it?

Hello, I'm accepted for Fall 2014 too! I've actually been lurking this forum for quite awhile and just finally made an account. See you in the fall!

Hey mishenka,

We received a check off list of things to do before we start in the fall. I'm planning to go over all my immunizations and complete the physical with my physician altogether so she can sign off the paperwork at once. There's a form your physician needs to fill out for the physical so you should wait for the email from Ohlone first. You could get started on your immunizations or check if you've done them (hep b, MMR, tetorifice (within 10 years), and chicken pox) I think 2 step PPD needs to be done yearly so you should wait for that one too.

It also said the CPR for healthcare providers need to be valid throughout the entire two years of the program. Maybe you can renew your CPR midway in the program since you already have it. The flu shot needs to be done AFTER September 2014 when the new vaccine comes out.

I've also read some of your other posts, lol. I believe you should choose Ohlone! I've heard so many wonderful things about the nursing program. I love how we can apply to transfer to CSUEB afterward and complete the ASN-BSN bridge program. I also love their new Newark campus, it's so green! Even though you have to wait a little longer, I think it's worth the wait!

I hope this helps!

Do your physical when you get the paperwork sent to you. There's no need to rush. Spring students will probably get their paperwork in October or November. The orientation date is for registration for new students to Ohlone even if you have college credit from other places.

Thanks again! I will wait before doing the physical.

I already signed up for a few classes at Ohlone, I don't need orientation for new students at Ohlone, I just was wondering if there is one for new nursing only students. Maybe later.
