  1. RN schools nearest Tahlequah?

  2. Oklahoma introductions....

    Hello Melissa and all other propective nursing students. I always tell people that, yes, it will be a lot of work and take a lot of your time. I couldn't have pulled it off if my DH hadn't been very helpful and supportive. Be careful to limit other ...

    Anyone else here have an experience like this? We recently had to pay for towing and 2 tickets, and my husband and son had to call a friend for a ride at around midnight. They were coming home (Tahlequah) after a trip to Kansas. We've heard the Hulbe...

  13. staff reduction

    Our facility is for about 40 or so. We have 9 in SCU. I don't know how many empty beds in the LTCU. A few people feel it was unfair because the other nurse had seniority, and that they let her go because she got paid more. But I also know that our DO...
  14. staff reduction

    It was because of budget, lower census, and things like that. Now I'm wondering how secure my job is. One who lost her job was my opposite, on day shift in the Special Care (dementia) Unit. She has been replaced with a med aide. What if they decide t...
