Nursing school repeat drug screens?

So I know the nursing program requires drug testing for the initial application process and they say that additional screening may be required. Does anyone know if they actually retest you or if it’s just an empty threat? Or just based on where your clinical is?

Roomate / housing search

I'm a 25 yr old female student at Oakland University. I am looking for someone to room with for the 2025 upcoming winter semester and onwards. I will not be graduating until 2026-2027. I was a dietetics major and recently switched to chemistry. I am looking for a place to rent for under $650 dollars a month for a decent amount of time. if anyone is willing to room together but does not have a place in mind we could explore apartment options. Places close to campus like oak square. I would need someone who is pet friendly, I have a small female Maltese who would be rooming with us. No crazy expectations, I am fairly easy going and quiet. Plan to keep shared areas clean. Let me know if you have any space available!

Please help

Hi. So l'm transferring from a college to a university and I'm just shocked that all the pre requirements I took in college (took 2 years) are not pre requirements for my BSN degree in university. I have to take 8 more pre requirements, this time for the university and thennn enroll into BSN degree. Is there a reason why I have to basically do 6 years of education? I'm sorry I'm just so confused and new to this

Organic chemistry tutoring

www.organicchemistrytutoring.ca

Overwhelmed by organic chemistry? Assignments and tests creeping up on you and feeling like you’re in hot water? Or maybe you’re doing well and need that 95%? Whatever your struggle with organic chemistry may be, I’m here to make sure you succeed.

Why work with me?

  • Every tutor knows the subject, but not every tutor knows how to transfer that knowledge to a student. I do.
  • I tutor organic chemistry full time, it’s not a hobby or side-gig. When you book with me, you’ll be working only with me, not random people at an agency.
  • You’ll be learning problem solving through organic chemistry, which you can apply to many other subjects.
  • Your learning will be customized to your specific needs

Before booking a lesson, let’s chat about your needs, my teaching style, and what you can expect, to see if we’d be a good fit together.

Thank you for your time and I look forward to working with you!

Mike

Does anyone happen to know how to schedule an individual appointment with the OUCC (and does anyone have any experiences with them to know if they are helpful or not)

I'm interested in going there to hopefully work on some stuff but I can't for the life of me figure out how to schedule an appointment. Do I just need to go there and talk to reception?

28 credit requirement for freshmen

What happens if a freshman doesn't pass a class and therefore does not get the full 28 credits the first year? I understand they could take an extra class the winter semester but what if they don't? Can they make up this class in the spring or summer and still qualify for the same scholarships they had their freshman year? Does the school kick them out?

Drug Test/Health Screen (Nursing)

Hey,

I got into the Nursing program but the acceptance letter is super vague on where I need to get my heath screen/urine drug test.

Has anyone already done this/can advise how I need to schedule these tasks?

I’m going to call the School of Nursing regardless, I just didn’t know if someone had the answers here!

Nursing School- Shoes for clinical?

Hi everyone! I got admitted to the nursing program and I was wondering what shoes are best for clinical? I know they say our shoes have to be leather, with a heel, and white or black. I can’t find anything that is comfortable. TIA!

Does anybody have an extra ticket to the Master and Doctoral graduation on December 13th? If you’re not going to use all 4 of your Guaranteed tickets, would you be willing to give me your extras? I’d be willing to pay you for it.

Transferring Graduate Credits

I am thinking of applying to a Ph.D program at Oakland University. My masters, from a different institution, is in the same field of study. Would I be able to transfer masters credits to count toward my Ph.D? If so, must the credits have been earned in a certain window of time from when I begin my Ph.D studies?

Accounting Tutoring

Hello! I wanted ask here just in case but I've been looking into getting a personal tutor for my accounting 2000 class. Its not clicking for me, but I feel like I'm so close to understanding. I tried going to the tutoring on campus and found that I really didn't know what to ask there and figured a one on one thing would be better to go over the chapter. If anyone offers anything or knows someone who would offer I'd love the help!

Requesting for Exception

The past month I’ve missed a handful of classes due my Aunt being in the hospital and she ended up passing away this week. With this I unfortunately didn’t do great on exams since I missed a bit of important content and didn’t catch up on time. When I emailed my advisor they just directed me towards the Request for Exception form but I don’t know if I would qualify since my Aunt isn’t an immediate family member. I don’t know how to provide documentation of her death either other than her obituary. She also has a different last name than me so I also don’t know how to prove I’m related to her. Any guidance or advice is appreciated…

Loneliness is a difficult experience to endure during the school year....

Loneliness is a brutal experience, and difficult to endure on top of the expectations during the academic year. I am the Founder of a social impact company focused on giving YOU a voice. Loneliness is an experience I've endured and fought my whole life and I have a deep rooted passion to bring peace to those suffering. I look forward to sharing my story, and hearing yours....

At this time, I am currently conducting research on the 18-25 age, college student demographic, and I'm looking for people interested in participating in answering some questions over zoom. Yes with cameras on ;). I would GREATLY appreciate anyone interested in participating. Your feedback will make a huge impact in what will make a difference in the loneliness narrative. I look forward to talking to you and hearing your stories!

Room Reassignments

I've recently just done a room reassignment on 9/23. And I've not been placed in a new room yet nor have I gotten any notifications about my reassignment request. If anyone who has done this process could tell me when I'd most likely hear back and get a new room.
