You can register when CCC registers in the spring. Class start around the 24th but nursing 1 starts a week before that (orientation).

hi birdigrl! i sent you a message!

Hi ladies!I am in olol right now and I love it! KirstenB if you are in fall 2013 you won't hear anything for a while. Good luck girls I hope you enjoy OLOL as much as I have so far!

Hi! I dont have much on the new program, just that we have to take world civ before we start.. I am taking that now. We will get a letter when we get our classes and what not. Do you have face book? If so I'll send you a message on here so you can find me.

I had to had all my sciences done before I heard a decision... You guys are lucky! Chem was extremely difficult. However I didn't have the best teacher... I took it at gcc. I got a C but at least I passed! Anyone on this thread starting OLOL in the fall? It would be nice to meet a friend before we start. :)

Congrats! I start in fall 2012... I'm very excited but nervous at the same time!

I haven't tried to email, but I think she was taking over this week.. I havent needed to contact anyone though.. Maybe try calling.. They might also have special hours due to the summer.

I think it will be okay... They seem like everyone has it together. I have yet to hear anything negative about the school so I think that is great..

wow, that really helps.. thanks for the info... it helps a lot more to talk to a current student than to talk to an admin person.

Hi Glad2baSN, How far along are you in the program?? Have you had classes/clinicals 5 days a week yet, or has it been mostly 3 days a week?

The science was fairly difficult... definitely harder than a normal high school course, but then again its been a while since high school for me too! the reading and math part was easy. I didn't do as great in the last section i think it was vocab or something... I was hungry and also had to go to the bathroom. lol

have you taken the teas v yet? i recommend taking the practice test they offer. it is identical to the test you will take... same type of questions and set up. if you get a question wrong the practice test tells you why it is wrong and why the right answer is right.

Congrats! I won't know if I am accepted until after this Summer I session. I still have to finish Microbiology, my last pre-req.

Oh okay... I would ask then. I'll be done all of my pre-req this summer I.

i took A&P I and II and chem together this spring. chem was a regular 15 week course and the A&P classes were 7 week accelerated, so I can only imagine 5 weeks with A&P AND chem. I think that's a good decision to wait for the fall. chem is tough. rach1981, are you close to Gloucester County College? They might have a summer II micro class.. Even if it's full a lot of people drop before it starts.

I think I retained some, but it was impossible. The teacher I had was more for people who are science majors. I wish my school offered like a more basic chemistry course for people that just need to know the basics. Nice guy, but his class was extremely hard. He would always say "and those of you who are sticking around for chem 2".... lol. Half of us were pre-nursing majors...haha we're like nooooo thanks for chem 2! micro isn't too bad! I have a good teacher for it, she makes it interesting! I have my first test today.

I hated chem!

I know that it's harder if you only have an RN. I plan on going to get my BSN. After talking to the admissions people there it sounds like they employ their students first, so we'll see. But like I said I'm going to go the BSN route after I get my RN.

My grades are As and Bs, and a C in Chem (blah). I talked to other people in my micro class and they did bad in chem too (Cs as well). I had my first micro class yesterday... the teacher is awesome! It's really face paced though... like 9 classes or something. All of the lectures are online (which what my A&P classes were like) and all the labs are in class, but sometimes you have 3 labs in one class! It's a 4 hour class!! At least it's hands on so it goes by quick.

I dropped off my transcripts today.. I have microbiology this summer so I will be done my sciences then, I am hoping that is enough to get in. I am glad to hear from someone in the program. It's one thing to talk to people that work at the school but you get a better feel of the school from the students. I have heard all good things about their program so far so that is good! Also everyone I have been in contact with has been really nice and extremely helpful.

I don't know about you, but I wouldn't do two sciences in one semester... it was a killer. Plus one of them was accelerated. Learned my lesson! :)

I heard micro isn't too bad???? we'll see.. I start next monday! I heard the teacher is really cool. I go to GCC though, I'm not sure how it is at CCC.. I would think it would be harder at Rutgers. I just got my final grades... A- in A&P II and a C in chem!!! wooo yes! A C is obviously not fantastic but I am just happy I passed chem... that class was a killer! hoping that is enough to get in! :)

I took accelerated A&P I and II... they were each 7 week courses. If your teacher was anything like mine you should do okay. We had class two times a week with just labs, and the lectures were "camtasias"... basically powerpoints with her lecturing. I actually preferred it because if I didn't understand something I could go back and watch it as many times as I wanted. I did really well in A&P I with a B+ and I think I either got a B+ or an A- in A&P II. I thought A&P II wasn't too too bad.. I thought it got a little hard in the end. If the first chapter you do is the endocrine system make sure you get the hormones and what not down pat.. I think that sets the tone for the rest of the course. I really enjoyed both courses. But like I said chem was a killer. My school doesn't offer it hybrid like my A&P class. I think I would have preferred that just for the luxury of re-watching lecture videos, especially since the material is so difficult. After talking to the guy from OLOL he said that they really want to see you do good in the AP courses compared to chem. I think they understand Chemistry is an extremely difficult subject. I'm taking micro in the summer... 5 weeks. I hope it's not too difficult either!

I just made the Fall 2012 deadline to apply, but I'm not even sure when all the classes need to be completed. Yah I just want to worry about getting in right now! lol. I rather do something online, just easier and a little more flexible, but we will see from now. If I don't do good in Chem I'm going to have to retake it in the fall... blah, but I really had one of the worst teachers... nice guy, but has been teaching forever and just thinks everyone should catch on super quick to chem! haha. needless to say there were like 12 people left in our class by the end of the semester! :)

yeah it is really stressful.. i did pretty good on my TEAS.. I got a 76, but I am really worried about chem! I am probably going to end up with a C. I really struggled with that class... I did really well in AP I and II so we will see what happens. I know he said if I get an A or a B in AP I and II and a C in chem then I would be fine.... All the other pre-req I did fairly well. You only need a 2.5 to get in, but obviously the better you do the better chance you have to get in. They said that you really don't compete with everyone else to get in, just getting good grades, but I don't see how that is.. anyway I knew that they were going to do that thing with Immaculata, which is really great... who knows maybe itll be online too. I am going to send my grades after this semester and hope for the best. Ill have all of my sciences done this summer but I won't have that world civ pre-req completed.
