   kgrl819 replied to toadfrog's topic in Oklahoma

   I agree with you about the LPN. The traditional students normally got the better grades, because they hadn't practiced and it was easier for them to put the "book' answer versus what we sometimes have to do in real practice. Anyone that asks me abou...

2. St. John Tulsa

   kgrl819 replied to Suzy2's topic in Oklahoma

   At this point there is not an actual stroke unit. There is a stroke team which consists of several different physicians, nursing units, pt/ot/st and such. There is a neuro unit, but they don't always get the stroke patients depending if there are ot...

3. Kaplan Scores good enough to pass NCLEX in 4 days?!

   kgrl819 replied to collegegrad08's topic in NCLEX

   Those are real similar scores that I and others that attended the review with me got, and we all passed. Keep doing the qbank, but I limited the amount I did a day, to help limit my distress over the scores. Even though it's long, do qtrainer #7 (i ...

4. Smoking at Work.

   kgrl819 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds to me like someone needs to set limits on her smoke breaks. I don't smoke, but like you, if someone wants to poison their body, who am I to stand in their way. I poison mine with sugar and caffiene and no one says anything, however, I don't le...

   Also, the LPN can do dressing changes and tube feedings unless the anwer has some sort of assesment/documentation in it. Good luck!

7. Is 3 weeks enough time?

   kgrl819 replied to Jocee82's topic in NCLEX

   I took my NCLEX 2 weeks after completing the Kaplan live review, started orientation and dealing with my terminally ill dog (he's my baby). My thought on scheduling the test so close to completing Kaplan was that it was fresh on my brain and that th...

8. NCLEX: KAPLAN, SATA(n) & PHARM

   kgrl819 replied to oliviamarch's topic in NCLEX

   I know it's hard to believe, but keep on working on the qtrainer and qbank , you'll be fine. I felt the same, but tried to stay calm and focused on doing the qtrainers and reading over what the analysis showed as my weak points. I ranged around 58-...

9. 1 week till I take the NCLEX and I am freaking out!!!

   kgrl819 replied to LoveMy2Brats's topic in NCLEX

   OK, now stop and take a day to relax. I know that sounds awful and easier said than done, but this time last week, I was just like you. Take a break for a day or half-a day, then start answering questions again. I would do 50, then review my weak s...

10. MO student seeking employment in Tulsa after graduation

    kgrl819 replied to mozarkian's topic in Oklahoma

    I heard rumor that since there is a nurse shortage, some hospitals are buying out contracts that you have signed elsewhere. I would check, the most they could say is "NO". St. Johns has tuition reimbursement for those who become an amployee after g...

    I did the Kaplan review and got real frustrated with not improving my scores in th 65-70% range that they reccomend, but my score remained constant actually ranged 58-60% for all the Qtrainers, diagnostic and readiness test. The strategy helped al...

    Don't feel too bad, I'm getting about the same results as you are and weak in both the same areas as you plus psychosocial. I take mine the 4th of June. Good luck to you and all the rest of us to take ours!!

14. OSU Okmulgee

    kgrl819 replied to toadfrog's topic in Oklahoma

    I disagree. I just graduated from osu-okmulgee and the 3rd and 4th semester instructors are wonderful. They are extremely helpful in both theory and clinicals.It is fast paced and difficult, but very challenging. I have been an LPN for 10 plus year...

15. NClEX day from hell...

    kgrl819 replied to Nurse122705's topic in NCLEX

    Sounds like the dream I have had for the last two nights and I don't test for another 2 weeks. I hope you passed. Good luck.
