  1. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Yes! Thanks for posting Paramecium....I plan to head to the bookstore tomorrow, but just ordered a few via Amazon, so I won't have the Lewis text(s) until next week. Looks like most is in the Cherry text though, eh?! Did anyone get their scrubs fr...
  2. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    BLS CPR was $50 at Auburn hills campus. Not sure if they have dates/times available though. Call the EMT office there, they set it up. :-)
  3. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Monday afternoon for me :-). Congrats cjbacjba, and thank you for the encouraging post!
  4. Question on nursing qualifications

    If I were you, I would contact the HR department of a medical facility and ask their opinion. I honestly have no idea how rigid hiring practices are in the field. I would think that chances are available for you. Plus, by the time you get through ...
  5. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Me too! :-).
  6. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    OCC2012, I think you're in my pharm section....I swear she said we only had to know the practice problems for this test through #15 in Appendix D....not through the IV ones yet... or did I miss something? I think it's going to be a good class! :-)
  7. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    FYI--I just checked online and my pharm section is finally there under my class schedule. :-) I'm thinking I'd like to try to get in for CPR on April 29. We'll see.... :-)
  8. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    I'm in the 2p class Mondays! :-)
  9. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    whosur, which second nclex book did you get? I always hear great things about saunders, so that surprised me! I was able to get both pharm books online for $110...not bad! Morningland/whosur--if you had to generalize, would you say that the firs...
  10. OCC program

    If they do the accelerated program, they add those additional spots. The reason they did not offer the accelerated this year was that the DMC is in the process of a merger/buyout with another company. The transition won't happen until June/July whi...
  11. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    I called the department yesterday and yes, they won't register us until early April. She said to expect a packet with details about orientation, etc. before then. :-) @Mocha - did you get it at the HL or Southfield campus....I want one too lol!
  12. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    I was wondering the same thing @rivasl. If not by tomorrow, I plan to call the department to find out (also to make sure they received my fax!).
  13. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    Congratulations everyone!!! It was such a great surprise to get the mail today...wasn't expecting it until next week! I am planning on the Monday afternoon Pharm class.
  14. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    I'm getting excited to get this letter!!! Guessing the cutoff will be right around there @jenny--but I'll say 3.83 just to put in a guess . Good luck to everyone!
  15. Which nursing school should I go to?

    One big thing to consider is where you will be living. How important is it to you to have the 'away at college' experience? It is true that some programs (I know Oakland does anyway) do offer preference to students applying directly from high schoo...
  16. MCC 2011 Applicants

    Yes, there were several guys there when I took it as well. And thanks Will! :-)
  17. OCC - who all is applying this year?

    I too have 10 As and 1 A- and agree with all of you that it would be ridiculous if we did not get in because of an A-!! However, I also hope that the mere fact that we're communicating on this forum means that we're the top of the group....making t...
  18. OCC GPA!

    I don't know, but I really hope so! I am not even sure I'd made the cut for it....I haven't figured out the GPA exactly, but I have all As with one A-. I keep hearing of these crazy amounts of applicants with a 4.0--makes me nervous (although, kudo...
  19. MCC 2011 Applicants

    I have a 4.0 and a 95.57% on the HESI. Good luck to everyone! :-)
  20. HFCC New HESI test

    I have taken the HESI twice for Macomb. They require A&P, Grammar, Vocab, Math, and Reading Comprehension. I don't find the test to be all that difficult. I do, however, recommend the study guide (HESI study guide). It's pretty much like any ...
  21. OCC accelerated program is a go!

    You're right...I just re-checked the info packet. The seminar I went to last year did say that after Jan. 2012 start there was a 1 1/2 year wait list. What about OCC's accelerated for ADN, then accelerated RN/BSN completion which is almost 100% onl...
  22. OCC accelerated program is a go!

    Fetachz, how heavy is the workload for the accelerated as opposed to the regular track? More specifically, how many hours are you either at school or in clinicals per week, roughly? I am planning for the accelerated, but I was under the impression...
  23. Should I just give up?

    Yayyyy!! Congratulations!!! :-) UDM has a great program too, you should be very proud of yourself!
  24. Need help preparing for the Hesi A2 Entrance Exam

    Yes. The study guide is very helpful! Definitely worth it! Good luck!
  25. Should I just give up?

    First of all.....never, ever give up on your dream--as long as it remains a dream for you. Do not be discouraged. Know that you can, and keep with it!! I do agree with both above responses....I too have a bachelor's degree and am currently finishi...
