    rmtocc replied to nurse.sandi's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well it is common for many employers to do this now on top of credit checks. I dont think we have much choice but to submit to it, BUT I think they should give you some info about THEM. I would ask...

  8. New grad (soon) what gets me hired?

    rmtocc replied to verumlike's topic in Nursing Career

    I think you answered your own question at the end there. Take the "in" to get your feet wet, but keep looking for the right fit in the mean time while you are continuing school. I keep hearing...

  10. new RN..what now?

    rmtocc replied to chillin4me's topic in Nursing Career

    Here in Michigan, people are telling me that long term care facilities and nursing homes are willing to hire new grads with no real world experience. Perhaps that's the in your respective states

    i thought I heard/read somewhere that there are no clogs allowed....Is that just croc types with holes or are Dansko professional leather with closed backs allowed? I got a pair in white last year...

    thanks

  13. 2011 OCC ADN Students

    rmtocc replied to whosurdaddy's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Anne36, good question! The only way I can rationalize not finding one yet is because OCC doesnt do an intern/externship...you only practice on classmates and they have very strict rules about how many...

    Can anyone currently in the ADN program at OCC tell me if you get the same, thanksgiving, christmas/new years, and spring break as other occ students? I know some units are 7 1/2 weeks long instead of...

  18. Getting All A's In Pre-Req's

    rmtocc replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I think they should make the bio and organic chemistry class (currently a "recommended" elective) a definite prereq..and of course only allow 1 retake of any given class. That will make the GPA cutoff...

  19. OCC program

    rmtocc replied to occ2012's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Im glad to hear OCC students are near the top of the list in terms of being desirable to employers. I keep seeing in other threads that nurses are a dime a dozen now and that its tough to get hired...

  20. RN-BSN competitiveness? Look at prereq gpa only?

    rmtocc replied to IHeartPeds87's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Eastern looks at GPA of math and science courses even though there are psych, soc, and english prereqs needed to apply. Although that is for the traditional BSN program. I dont know about the ADN to...

  21. Getting All A's In Pre-Req's

    rmtocc replied to Kimberly6891's topic in Michigan Nursing

    well there are no math prereqs for the ADN program. As for the sciences, take them with less demanding classes (something nonscience). I took 2 classes at a time and that seemed to do the trick. When...

    rmtocc replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Most schools make the department decide upon one text for all sections. I dont see why OCC would be any

  23. OCC - 2010 applicants / 2011 ADN prospective students

    rmtocc replied to MsStephh_RN's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I just checked the bookstore online and you can only buy the calculations book. There are no options to buy the syllabus or the text. So I assume they have neither of those in stock

  24. Is nursing your second career?

    rmtocc replied to nicubee's topic in Nursing Career

    I was a vet tech for 12 years with an associate's degree. I loved it, and hated it. Loved the nursing part and the contact with clients, but hated the inconsistancy and lack of regulation in the...
