1. Once that much anticipated letter arrives....

   sher1206 replied to HFCC29's topic in Michigan

   I imagine that all schools have different policies but we had to have: vaccination records, a current TB test, current BLS (or proof of enrollment in a BLS class), a background check and take urine drug screen.

2. Which nursing school?

   sher1206 replied to cadyjayne's topic in Oklahoma

   I suggest OSU in OKC. It is, in my opinion, the best nursing school in the state. Our NCLEX pass rate is consistently greater than 90% and our graduates are able to find jobs quickly due to our excellent reputation. If you are interested in pursuing ...

3. Anyone here using MedsPub?

   sher1206 replied to Skrawberri's topic in NCLEX

   Also, and forgive the double post: The way that the MedsPub questions are set up and the way they teach you to answer them, it seems to me, that if one learned how to read the questions correctly and you're a decent test taker you have a pretty good ...

4. Anyone here using MedsPub?

   sher1206 replied to Skrawberri's topic in NCLEX

   We are forced to use it and charged 107.00 per semester for it. That means that by the time I graduate I will have spent 428.00 on MedsPub alone so it BETTER have proven to be useful when I sit for the NCLEX We have to do NurseLogic in its entirety b...

5. What to expect on a CVSU floor?

   sher1206 replied to SweetNSassyRN2B's topic in Cardiac

   Thanks Spatialized. That was most helpful. Now I can start investigating what some of those terms mean, since a lot of this if Greek to me. It will be nice to walk on the floor with atleast a precursory understanding of what is going on instead of...

   Mine too, sorry BBFRN. Now where is that election thread? GRRR!:smiley_ab Just joshin'!

7. Nurses and the 2008 election

   sher1206 replied to Brian's topic in Talk Politics

   I agree Leslie. However it is very typical given the obsession with appearance so predominant in the U.S., and sadly, not at all in any association with how healthy living affects appearance. Maybe I should consider a future as RN to a plastic surge...

8. Nurses and the 2008 election

   sher1206 replied to Brian's topic in Talk Politics

   That is really interesting because more than once the man (McCain) has admitted that he doesn't really understand the workings of our economy. http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/01/22/can-this-be-true/ Also when being questioned by Tim Russert dur...

9. Morgellon's Disease

   sher1206 replied to indigo girl's topic in Psychiatric

   This disease is fascinating. I wrote a paper on it for Physiology. I go to Oklahoma State University and Dr. Rhonda Casey at our Tulsa hospital is one of the nations leading experts on Morgellons. Google "Dr. Rhonda Casey & Morgellons" and you ...

10. What to expect on a CVSU floor?

    sher1206 replied to SweetNSassyRN2B's topic in Cardiac

    I am in the same boat as Sweet & Sassy, in that I just found out my clinical rotations will be on a cardiac unit. Although I am in my second semester and last semester I was on a med-surg floor. I don't know if my wing also houses the step-down...

11. Nurses and the 2008 election

    sher1206 replied to Brian's topic in Talk Politics

    okay? I was responding to the original post and I said nothing of a political nature. That said, it's kinda hard to have an intelligent exchange on an article which discusses the influence of politics on health care and not discuss politics and polic...

12. OSU-OKC RN program / HESI A2 test

    sher1206 replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma

    Just started second semester and I love our program more each day. It used to feel like graduation was eons away but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yay!

13. Getting a healthcare job while in school

    sher1206 replied to Narnian70's topic in General Students

    I worked as a Pharamacy Tech at the inpatient pharmacy of a large hospital prior to my acceptance into nursing school. The shifts were flexible and I learned A LOT about medications. You can usually be trained on site and it requires passing certif...

    That was interesting. Thanks for posting it.

15. Need cheap scrubs and a lab coat

    sher1206 replied to Ambitiouz's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Hey, Ambitizous. I can't reply to your PM about school because I don't have 15 posts. Just didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. I'll try to rack up 15 quickly but until then you can email me and I'll be happy to answer all your first semest...
