Hello Everyone, I am a new OCC nursing student who will begin the first semester (Nursing-175) on January 25th. I am trying to enjoy my winter break before the class begins, but am so anxious about it that I can't think of anything except what the semester will bring. I was hoping there would be a few seasoned OCC nursing students/grads on this forum that could help me out in regards to a couple questions I have about the program. 1. Are we supposed to wear our uniforms to orientation and to each class or only to clinical's? 2. Is the first mathematics test difficult? What kind of math should I expect? 3. My professor is Deborah J. Prodoehl. Has anyone had her? What is she like as an instructor? How does she grade? 4. What concepts were included in Nursing-175? Is the first semester the most difficult? Or does it continue in difficulty as you go along? 5. I work full-time at the local hospital where we do our clinical's. Am I going to have time for my boyfriend between nursing school and work? (That is something I am worried about) 6. I am in the evening program, so my classes are twice per week with one day of clinical. Are both classes committed to lecture or is one a lab? I have heard other people talk about the lab's and I'm confused about where they fit in (whether they are in allocated class time periods or if they are extra hours spent after class) Any information or advice would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Even if you cannot answer the questions directly, I would appreciate any helpful information in terms of OCC's Nursing Program. I would like to be fully prepared when I enter the classroom on the first day. Thank you so much in advance, Lisa
