Are you a 2nd year student? I would ask you your name but I don't want you to post it. Where are you going for clinicals? I'll be at Detroit Receiving.

I'm in the traditional ADN program at the Highland Lakes campus! It's a great program but a lot of hard work. Are you interested in becoming an RN eventually?
I don't think so but I'm not 100% positive. I think you go on the 3rd of September for lecture to make up for labor day and the following week you go to lab on Tues from 10 - 12 until the end of the semester. Don't quote me on that though. It's ha...
Yes, there should be a syllabus for lab for 1410. Lab isn't listed on your bill because it is all tied together with 1410 lecture. So you need a syllabus for lab and one for lecture. The syllabus for lab is slightly thicker than the one for lecture...
If you're talking about NUR 1410, you don't start clinicals until October. You'll probably find out 1 - 2 weeks before from what I remember. I know it's frustrating. I'm a second year student and it gets annoying waiting for the information that y...

I'm not on the wait list. I am starting my second year in the Nursing program in September. I only have 4 classes left to graduate! Woo hoo! Once you start the program there will be math tests at the beginning of every semester. They are so easy...

If you practiced for a month and used the practice test, you should be fine. I practiced for 2 weeks and did the math until I was comfortable enough to not look at the answers until I was done. If I remember correctly, there is no question regarding...
Hey there! I am finishing up my first year of nursing school at OCC and I am in my Med/Surg rotation. Yes, I think Med/Surg has been the hardest class so far. BUT, the clinical part of it is just like acute care that you have in 141 but you have m...
I've kept all of my syllabi and power points. The pharm syllabus & textbook is helping me out right now because the med/surg book doesn't get too in depth on some drugs and it's a bit more simplified. Try not to worry about the pharm quiz. I ...
Hi everyone! I was reading some posts and I just wanted to let you all know that you should hang onto your pharm syllabus and text book. It will be really helpful in the future. I just started Med/Surg and with all the meds we need to learn, it has b...

I'm a first year nursing student that started last fall. Last year's cut off for the Traditional route was 3.612. That's what it stated in my acceptance letter last March. The accelerated program's cut off was around 3.8. What happens is that the...

I'm a first year student in the Nursing Program at OCC and I didn't have to wait a year to get in. I was done with my pre-req's in August of 2007, applied in September of 2007 and got accepted in March of 2008. I took pharmacology in May to get tha...
I'm a first year Nursing student and I'm sure you will be fine. It's a tough program and it doesn't get any easier until the 2nd year, or so I'm told. I just finished my psych rotation and I'm going to OB next. It's been hard like I said but if you...

I know how you feel! I knew that I got a bad grade in Chem in high school and I had no idea if I had to take Math or not! You should get a copy of your high school transcripts. You'll need it to apply to the Nursing program. That way a counselor c...

You only need Math and Chem if you didn't pass them with a C or better in high school or if you didn't take the equivalance of those classes. The 11 above are the classes that count for your GPA for Nursing school.

I like it. I underestimated how hard it would be and I had a crappy instructor for acute care clinicals, but I survived! I start my psych rotation next week, then ob, then med-surg. It's going to be a long 22.5 weeks! You should be able to get in...
Yes, I'm in Fundamentals right now (they call it theory). I have class on Monday's which is Fundamentals (theory) lecture. Then I have lab on Thurs/Friday for 3 hours a day. So I'm in school for 9 hours a week. The nursing home clinicals are only ...
No problem! That class is easy compared to what you will be taking for your program. I'm in the ADN program and it's A LOT of work so get ready! Good Luck!
