  1. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    I need that letter now. I applied in freaking Oct. It's absurd how long we have to sit around and wait, and even moreso that if we do get in we still have to sit around until Sept!!! Right now I'm...

  4. It always grates on my nerves when I have instructors say, "The people that use study groups are the ones that get A's." Well so far I have yet to join a group in all my academic years and have...
  5. Freaked out about Micro!

    ITA. My favorite pre-req! OP, it's not scary, besides if you can tackle A&P, Micro won't seem as scary. Micro was way more interesting as well IMO because you can see how so many of the...
  6. Has anyone ever put down your career choice?

    Most people I tell are very supportive and encouraging and hope I make it. The only person that's really been down on me is my dad (it's a good thing he's not paying for my education then:lol2:). He...
  7. You Arent Supposed To Hold A Newborn Baby If On Menstrual Cycle?

    Sounds dumb. Am I the only one sick and tired of everything to do with women's bodies taking on some negative implication? You're on your period? Go hide in a hut, you're unclean. Can't hold a baby...
  8. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    Micro was the easiest and most fun IMO. A&P 1 was dry, and the material was numerous and neverending. A&P 2 was
  9. Of these Los Angeles schools, which one is least "ghetto"

    This won't end well. *gets
  10. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    I'm going to rip it open immediately. Well, not immediately. I'll first cross my fingers, say a pray (and I'm not even religious, lol!) and open it in a nice quiet space in my house. I'll have to do...
  11. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    Thank
  12. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    Thank you! That was my wish when I blew out the
  13. I am losing my mind the wait is killing me

    I completely understand. I don't find out until March, and I too am taking "fluff" this semester to keep myself busy. Truth is, I have no clue how I'd react to a rejection. UGH. I just turned 23 today...
  14. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    ITA! And honestly, if you let your beliefs get in the way everytime a patient wants a procedure you don't like and you try to deny them that or expect special circumstances to opt out, I think you're...
  15. OCC- possibly a dumb question....

    Good luck jaaaey (and Anne)! and good for you, turning a negative into a positive by taking advantage of the LPN program with plans to bridge. It's a great alternative for those that might end up...
  16. A&P Textbook - Should I keep it?

    I kept mine because I've read here that nursing students reference back to A&P a

  19. Obsession with nursing( is this normal)?

    I think the fact that we're here posting speaks for itself;) And yes, dreams of getting into my school's program have been at the forefront of my mind since I started the pre-reqs. I'll find out in...
  20. OCC prospective applicants!

    It's only gpa from the 11 pre-reqs. It goes up every year, so if you want a spot, you need as close to a 4.0 as
  21. 2011 OCC ADN Students

    Another question from me as well: How much time per week do you find yourself studying? I used to study 20 hours a week or more for A&P classes, so I'm used to it, (though it can be a
  22. How hard is chemistry as compared to anatomy class?

    It's not even hard. It's basic multiplication/division and you use a calculator. It's dimensional analysis that screws people up, or rather knowing where to put what, based on the wording of the...
  23. 2011 OCC ADN Students

    Thank you. Sounds like what I expected. I've never been so prematurely excited in all my
  24. OCC prospective applicants!

    There's always the LPN and then bridge route. LPN would start 4 months after the regular RN track and at least it's a foot in the door for those who don't make
