   Persnicketier replied to BrandiBooh's topic in Oklahoma

   I agree with marilynmom. You will gain so much confidence after your first year of nursing school that it is amazing. I started off with zero experience in health care and fumbling around the hospital in clinicals to feeling like I belong there bec...

   Persnicketier replied to soonertwin87's topic in Oklahoma

   Not sure where you heard that, but I am in the OU program and know very few people that have Macs! Most people use PCs which I think are easier to use with the online class programs.

5. What to expect at clinicals

   Persnicketier replied to hsfarrara's topic in General Students

   Thank you everyone for posting about your clinical experiences! They really are helpful for those of us who have no clue what to expect. Is there usually a lot of downtime during your clinical day? It seems there would be, only caring for one pat...

   Are there places you can find out about different externship opportunities? When do you usually sign up for them?

7. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

   Persnicketier replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

   I've noticed a lot of people recommend getting supplies such as alcohol swabs, bandage scissors, etc. Do your clinical settings not provide these supplies for you? I'm a little confused as to why they would be extra costs for students.

   Persnicketier replied to lovelie_skittle's topic in General Students

   Lamesiah, I'm pretty sure externships are almost over over a periods of 6-8 weeks. How much do externships generally pay? And where can you find information on different ones from around the country?

10. How many people actually have PDA's?

    Persnicketier replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    This will probably seem like a dumb question, but what benefit do PDAs really offer? From what I gathered, they allow you to not have to lug your books to class and clinicals, right? Are there search functions that allow you to do homework quicker ...

    Do you know if they sell Litmann stethoscopes? I need to get mine still, and was looking to buy online. I've heard allheart has the best prices, but they are very unreliable in shipping. Does anyone know of somewhere in the OKC area that sells the...

    Bestplaces.net is also a good place to get that kind of information. You can compare the cost of living, schools, weather, etc. with other places. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I think it's pretty reliable. Like Dotti said, it can get hot ...

14. CNA summer job

    Persnicketier replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma

    What kinds of things do CNAs do in hospitals? Are there other jobs available in hospitals for nursing students that aren't CNAs? The pay sounds great, but I was just wondering what else there was.
