I'm starting in January!

Thank you!

Hi, is there a difference in tuition if I enroll in the academic outreach as opposed to the rn to bsn completion program? Also, do I need to take a math class before taking stats? I'm supposed to be starting classes in January but am having second th...

Thanks guys- I really appreciate your responses!!!! Im going to go ahead and start classes in january & see how things go. Good luck to both of you ?

Are u talking about the BLS course? $54 at crittenton or $25 at Waterford fire dept.

I haven't started yet, i just got my license at the end of june. My orientation will be 3 months long. I'll let u know how it goes. Good luck guys!

Hi guys, just to let u know I graduated from occ in April. Within 2 weeks of getting my license I already received 2 job offers. Good luck to all of you... its unbelievable how many doors will open after u get your licenses. Occ has a really good pro...

OCC class of 2011.... We had 131 (out of the 216 that started) ADN graduates!

Hi, I graduated last week.... not many places are hiring GN's. I have put out about 20 apps and no good news. I know about 5 people who got hired, but they already worked at that hospital. I am going to concentrate on studying for NCLEX and then I wi...

Hi, I am looking to get my RN to BSN. Has anyone heard anything about Chamberlain? Thanks!

Thanks everyone!

Hi Mocha, the traditional program is hard enough! I would stick with the traditional program if you have a choice.

n1990, the nursing classes always show up as "closed." It is because you don't register for classes, the nursing department registers you for classes.

I'll be graduating in April. We have lost about 1/3 of our class. Don't worry too much, just focus on getting through. This program is tough... study for 30 hours for a test if you have to. Good luck to you all!

OCC's accelerated program is not a bsn. It's an associates degree just like the traditional program :)

Good luck to all of you!

Addison, nursing tests are not like most tests ... there are usually more than one correct response, but u have think critically and pick the best answer. Also, some teachers test on lecture and some don't, so you need to read AND listen to lecture j...

That's true.... I would hate to fail and have to wait until they offer the class again. And yes, Househead4life, you do have to wait until they offer the class again.

The second year is hard b/c they expect more of you and the tests are super hard. It also depends on which theory teacher you have. For m/s 2 the instructor that I had did not test on the material that she lectured on. So essentially, we had teach ou...

The second year is hard, as well. You have a little more time b/c you don't have lab anymore, but it is still difficult. I know a lot of students who failed med/surg 1, m/s 2 (ortho-neuro), or m/s 3 (cardiac) and many that only passed by 1-4 points. ...

I am in my 1st yr. I can't remember exactly how the schedule began..... 1 day of theory, 2 days of lab to start. In lab u have lots of quizzes and check-offs (you perform your skills in front of faculty, like taking blood pressures, ect). After you ...

Last year they had more seats for the accelerated program (about 60, compared to 30), so that made some sort of difference. The program is very stressful... in my last nursing class at least 7 out of 25 (don't know the exact number of student in clas...

3.77 was the cut off for the program.... not the accelerated. Last year the cut off was 3.57 for the traditional route. Wow, what a difference!

Don't overload yourself ms ashley... It's not that important. Focus on A&P. Floris-" Reach for an a" is x-tra credit in 1410, its an online program.... you'll get the info when you start 1410. It is very helpful.

OCC has a great program. I like it, but it is a ton of work. Take pharm over the summer, so you don't have to take it w/ 1410 in the fall. In 1410 make sure you do "reach for an A" b-4 you take a test... this will help you learn how to answer nursing...
