Traditional or Career ladder

[MARITZA.A.MARQUEZ]

Hello everyone!

I am so nervous, I am almost done will all of my pre-req classes and I am wanting to apply for the OCCC nursing program but also considering the OU Nursing Program (I work @ OU and they can cover half of my tuition).

So my question is, if I apply for the OCCC program, which one is better, the "Traditional" or the Career Ladder"? I have heard mixed comments about both.

also, what all test are required in order to apply? what all should I attain in order to study?

I would greatly appreciate all the help and information!!

Thank You so much!

Welcome to AN, I see this is your first post. First if this is your real name, please change it for your own protections, Since you are not yet a nurse,do not use nurse in any part of your name as per terms of service. Click around the site and you will see all types of creative usernames.

As for OU/OCC, haven't a clue what city or state they are located and most people won't either. Members are all over the US & Canada and many other countries. Look at yellow tool bar at top, under U. S you should be able to find you state/city. Or try under Students, there is a forum for schools/programs.

Good luck.

The Career Ladder pathway requires you to be a LPN or Paramedic. Do you have your LPN or Paramedic credential? If not, then the traditional pathway would be best option. Why get your LPN or Paramedic if your goal is RN.
