   Wow that's a lot of classes! At the school I attend, 2 classes during the summer is considered full time. To take any more, than two, we have to get special permission. I wish I could take more to get all of this over with but I can only handle so mu...

   I was offered a position with the plebotomy dept at Hillcrest. They said starting out I would make $8.90 / hr. I turned it down, as I had a better offer elsewhere.

7. Oklahoma Nursing Programs?

   prissy pixie replied to Renee73's topic in General Nursing

   Ah! Now I see the confusion! You're comparing Platt's LPN program against TCC's RN (ASN) program. Platt only gained their NLN accreditation, this year, for their RN program, here in Tulsa. Which the Platt pass rate is actually lower than TCC's. I cou...

   No I'm doing my prereqs at TCC. This fall I will be applying to all the nursing depts (RSU, TCC, Langston, OU - Tulsa) and make a decision from there.

9. Platt?

   prissy pixie replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma

   They've only been able to attain the NLN accreditation for this past year so there's no real history to base the pass rate off of except one class. I, personally, wouldn't want to put my future and $16,000 in their hands and just pray that they don't...

    When I aquired about Platt I was told that the tuition is 120,000 for the LPN course!!! And it's only like 4000-6000 at Tulsa Tech. This is also only the 1st year they were able to get NLN accredited. If you go that route just get all the pertanent i...

    I've heard nothing but bad things about them. Please check into it thoroughly before deciding to go that route.

    prissy pixie replied to Renee73's topic in General Nursing

    TCC no longer requires math courses to be accepted into the nursing program. They stopped requiring in the middle of last semester while I was taking algebra. UGH! I have always been awful in math and was terrified to take any classes but I managed ...
