How childish to state that the nurses look nasty. Do you work at the OU Med Center? Or are you a student and just doing your clinicals there? If not, please don't classify and criticize all of the nurses this way, regarding their scrubs. You may be w...
Hi Mimi, So sorry this has happened to you. Some of us have certainly had instructors that were like this. But, as I reread your post, this thought came to me. If you do decide to appeal to the administration of your nursing school, do you think t...
Sorry..not on a "high" horse. Yes, there are newer hospitals, but, that is not the reason many nurses stay away from Midwest City. But, will refrain from publicly or privately, stating my reasons. Been there..,.done that:D OklaLPN
Thanks so much to all for your replies. Yes, I know I did the right thing! Manncer...I wanted to let you know that I do appreciate your response, but, I really wasn't confrontational to the family. I was very polite and used my nicest manners. Ple...

Moogie, I certainly do agree with you!!! I did my nursing clinicals in a very prominent "Magnet" hospital while in school. I worked my tail off right along side the RN's. But, when the time came for graduation, got the same "excuse"..."sorry, we don'...
I don't know what eveyone else's working conditions are...just my latest experience. It seems lately, that the CNA's are not calling in when going to be late, ill, ill child, etc. They just don't show up or call!!! I do know that management treats th...
I am a grad of Francis Tuttle. When I applied, I believe we only had to pass the Compass, some previous pre-reqs and nursing experience. I was not even a CNA. I was fortunate to be admitted to the first nurse option program (no longer available). We ...
Sadly, that salary sounds correct. Also, don't forget that Oklahoma is an "at will state". That is why we will never have a union for patient ratios and salaries. Sad... OklaLPN
