Can you tell me what the hours were for you in the first year? I saw in OCCC schedule book that classes are only on monday and tuesday 8-12 and 8am-2pm how do those labs look and the clinicals? did you have to spend lots of hours? Just trying to plan my schedule and can't get any answers from nursing school. Have a little baby which i need to know what to do with ahead of time.

I talked to OCCC yesterday and they said to sit through LPN exam you have to have nursing process 3 and it's third semester for our collaborative program, so there is our answer, we wouldn't be able to do it

I just finished Biochemistry degree and I'll tell you I took O-chem over 8 weeks both 1 and 2 org2 8 am and org 1 at 10 am, made A's in both of them. Organic Chem is very easy and fun. It's physical chemistry that killed everyone, my GPA is down because of those pchem classes. I am also premed and doing nursing here for a little while. But i think if we can handle the classes that we have been nursing is not going to be that difficult. Because i am still thinking about going to med school.

I am sure we'll be able to be LPN after one year I have worked in the hospital for years and i have seen a lot of people do it. This is what i plan to do as well.

I also just got accepted in this program, so we'll be in same class. Just wondering about all same things. I am pre-med and my grades are very important to me. I hope theses classes are not as hard as people here say. Of course i have been subjected to a lot with my Biochemistry degree which i have just finished, this physical chemistry is a killer...still wondering about how hard these nursing classes are though.
