1. UCO or OU nursing school?

   BrandiBooh replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma

   I say not to go by feedback from people that are not in a program because how can they truly evaluate? Simply because they know a few new grads from a program, that is not how you base your conclusions entirely. Everyone is different and everyone uti...

2. UCO or OU nursing school?

   BrandiBooh replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma

   You really shouldn't go by what other people say about a program and what nurses on the floor say about programs because these people are unaware. Unless you are going through the program or have gone through it and now are working as a nurse, you ar...

6. OU Tulsa BSN TCC Collaborative Program

   BrandiBooh replied to mommy.19's topic in Oklahoma

   The scrubs were another area of confusion lol, but basically you can go buy the ones from OU OR wear the TCC/OU CBSN scrubs...I think TCC wanted us to wear the CBSN logo but it wasn't enforced since there was SO much confusion and people ended up jus...

   BrandiBooh replied to mommy.19's topic in Oklahoma

   During my first semester I do remember having to drive to both on SOME days...before clinicals started and that was kinda a bummer but it's not that bad. Most of the time though you only go to one campus per day and then the hospital. We have quite a...

   **Oh and I just saw the ? about books, well...hopefully you are sitting down---the books for your jr. fall = $1000. But that's the BIGGEST chunk of the total books for the entire program...crazy huh? The spring was about uhhh 300?

   BrandiBooh replied to mommy.19's topic in Oklahoma

   OH YEA, and classes are at Metro and SE...so get use to moving around all week long driving back and forth (it's a pain). But know that you also have access to ALL OU facilities--so you can go to the lab there and library, etc.

    You know what, we ALL have felt "defeated" at one point or another in nursing school, and you will feel it more than once! I am a 4.0 student, and I know--that this semester, that will change. Is it hard to deal with? YES! Do I beat myself up about i...

13. Lack Of Skills Training

    BrandiBooh replied to wonhaeng's topic in Student Assist

    Remember that you are a newbie, and that MANY students graduate feeling the same way you feel right now (that they have not performed a lot of the skills). Don't feel discouraged, YOU WILL GET TO DO STUFF--and they are not going to expect you to do a...
