1. Oklahoma City University's Fall 2010 Acceptance?

   jojo10 replied to RonnieNichelle RN's topic in Oklahoma

   OCCC has a 1 + 1 program with a vocational school. If you don't get into OCCC then you do a year for your LPN and transfer to OCCC to finish the RN. Is OSU's 1+1 similar? If you got accepted to OCU- go for it! congrats!

   jojo10 replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

   very interesting. Which direction is the window facing? the sun cannot be glaring in all the time. What about timing the turning to allow for his back or side to face the window during the sunny part of the day?

6. yeah- employed new grad!

   jojo10 replied to jojo10's topic in General Nursing

   Good Luck Everyone! I think keeping up with contacts is important, even just a quick email update or to say hello. If you can talk to a real person, it can get you in the door and past that HR screening program! I got a lot of rejection emails and po...

   jojo10 replied to jojo10's topic in General Nursing

   I'm enjoying 100+ temps in Oklahoma! You'd think after spending my entire life here, I'd be used to the heat haha As far as job stuff, networking is key. "Who you know" won't get you the job, but it might get you past HR! I stayed in touch with m...

    jojo10 replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    "What amazed me in pre-reqs. is those that quit studying all together as they had a strong enough grade to move on. WHAT? This one younger student (not passing judgement by any means) stated even if she fails the A/P II last lab exam, she will stil...

12. Scrubs Make Me Crazy (long rant)

    jojo10 replied to coast2coast's topic in Uniform/Gear

    OHHH- I want stretch scrubs! Not knit material but like some regular pants that have lycra in them. Also, scrub pants are too long & if I get petite the "stride" is too short and gives me a total wedgie! (in the front too!)

    jojo10 replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    Some people work really hard and get Bs & Cs....others know just how much they have to do to "get by" and pass. there's a difference.. Try your best- that's what I tell my kids. A poor GPA will follow you for the rest of your life- believe me. ...

14. Trying to transfer to another RN program with an undeserved Fail

    jojo10 replied to wishingupon's topic in Student Assist

    Yes you will probably get caught, but on another level.....the only way to be successful in any future program is to be honest and take responsibility for yourself, not by trying to lay blame or cover-up your past.
