  1. How many questions on ATI Fundamentals Test

    LightMyFire replied to labradors4's topic in General Students

    We just took the ATI Fundamentals yesterday. On our test we had to make 69.9 to make the level 2 benchmark, however, it says on the ATI website that it is up to the school (don't know how true that...

  4. OCCC Fall 10 application question!

    LightMyFire replied to Mommaof3's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'll PM you the info you wanted. As for the spring semester, it has actually worked out better for me that I'm taking evening classes. I had put my clinical preference for Friday night but they...

  5. OCCC Fall 10 application question!

    LightMyFire replied to Mommaof3's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    You're right, I know EXACTLY how you feel! One of the things they told us at orientation is that no one really understands about NS except other nursing students. Every time I talk to anyone outside...

  6. OCCC Fall 10 application question!

    LightMyFire replied to Mommaof3's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    You'll definitely have no problems getting in. I had 17 points and was told that 16 or more should get you in. Of course, it really depends on the other applicants' points but 19 is plenty. I know...

  7. OCCC Fall 10 application question!

    LightMyFire replied to Mommaof3's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yes, you will need to turn in a copy of your transcript, as well as your test scores for the nursing test (I took NET, but I think they went to TEAS after the spring semester) and your Accuplacer...

  8. Hopelessness r/t nursing school

    LightMyFire replied to jennifer7010's topic in General Students

    I am only in my first semester of NS but it sounds like you are just having a hard time with all the work you're doing and the stress of it. It also seems as though the only reason you are not...

  9. Flu shots

    LightMyFire replied to Aisha29's topic in General Students

    They were going to require H1N1 for our clinicals but we got out of it because of availability issues. At the time they were still prioritizing and students were weing refused. They still required the...

  11. Is Chemistry in the Science category?

    LightMyFire replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the purposes of preference points for a B or better, I can say that at my school I got a point for chemistry. Just make sure that it is the chemistry course required for your program and not a...

  12. OCCC Spring 2010 hopefulls!

    LightMyFire replied to babymademeeatit's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I have turned in everything except I need to get flu shots and turn that in. I also need to figure out how to change my clinical preferences. I found out that the times I signed up for won't work. I...

    LightMyFire replied to babymademeeatit's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I have a friend who started this semester (fall 09). I just talked to her today and she told me that the material is very different and the tests are not like the ones we've done so far. It's critical...

  16. I am beginning to think that I can not get a job...

    LightMyFire replied to Wingnut09's topic in General Nursing

  18. Major Doozy.....Please advise

    LightMyFire replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    Check to see if your school has a policy for withdrawal. My school does and depending on the reason (and if you follow procedures) you can come back and finish. I agree with the others that your...

  19. Bad at math, no chemistry experience

    LightMyFire replied to Wannuhbeenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the program as to whether chem is required or not. At my school they just replaced college algebra with chem (much more useful in my opinion). Most of the chemistry I took was not even...

  20. ADVICE PLEASE! Anatomy & Other Pre-reqs.

    LightMyFire replied to Ready4theAction's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chemistry is definitely beneficial before A&P or at least at the same time. I have already taken A&P I & II and I am so glad that I had chemistry first. It really helps in understanding...
