1. "Didn't you learn how to deliver a baby in NS?", HUH???

   OURN83 posted a topic in New Nurse

   I don't work in labor and delivery, but I was having a discussion with a couple nurses tonight about how our deliveries with our children were. . . Well I got to my story, about how the nurses were telling me to "hold it in" because the doctor hadn'...

2. I think I have a stalker...

   OURN83 replied to OURN83's topic in New Nurse

   Also, I want to mention, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to notify the DON, or straight up tell this person myself to get lost if I wasn't so new. Again, I am very new and I would really hate to already look like I am a problem. I know that's really...

3. I think I have a stalker...

   OURN83 posted a topic in New Nurse

   This is not really related to nursing, per-se, but I have just started a new job as a nurse. I mean, I have been at this job for 2 weeks tomorrow. I am already stressed to the max and questioning everything I do and feeling inadequate as expected for...

4. OU Tulsa BSN TCC Collaborative Program

   OURN83 replied to mommy.19's topic in Oklahoma

   How cool is this! I didn't know TCC offered that! How does it work? Are you actually in the same classes as the TCC nursing program students or is it separate? How many levels of the program do you take at TCC before moving over to OU?? This is great...

5. OU LPN to BSN program

   OURN83 replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma

   Not quite sure I understand.. Does that mean if I take the NLN tests and pass then does it waive some of the gen ed courses or what? What exactly does "advanced standing" mean and you get 30 credit hours of what? Maybe I'm just super slow today...

6. OU's LPN to BSN Program

   OURN83 replied to boricua15's topic in LPN-RN

   Just curious to see if anyone got into the lpn-bsn program at OU Tulsa. I am going to finish up my pre-reqs and then apply soon. I currently have a 3.47 gpa, but I still have about 6 pre-reqs to take so I can probably bring it up if I really try hard...

7. Hillcrest anyone?

   OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

   This is kind of a late follow up, but I completed my externship at Hillcrest and feel that it was an excellent learning experience. The nurses were extremely helpful and absolutely adore the manager! Very friendly people there on 6 tower/Cardiac. Whe...

8. Quick ? about TCC!

   OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

   I got in with a GPA of 3.76 and had all of the pre-reqs completed. Also, be sure you have taken anatomy and physiology seperate. That is one issue I had to talk my way out of since I took it together. Fortunately they let me get in. Only because I to...

9. Quick ? about TCC!

   OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

   TCC goes by a point system. They take the number of applicants and rank them according to their GPA as well as the amount of prerequisite course work completed. They also take into account the GPA of your science courses by themselves and then the ot...

10. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

    Sorry, I guess that last post wasn't exactly encouraging! The truth is, if you want something bad enough, anything is possible. Mind over matter, right? It is hard but who said nursing school was supposed to be easy? I think your class will probably ...

11. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

    I would not recommend TCC to my worst enemy. I am a level 4 nursing student at TCC, so I can tell you first hand what it is like. MOST of the instructors don't give a crap about the students. They could care less about what they have to say. Here is ...

12. Had orientation today for RN program...heard something disturbing.

    OURN83 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Last semester in pediatrics our instructors let us do the same thing also except the group score was not YOUR score. First of all you had to have passed the test to get extra points. Then depending if the group score was 90% you'd get 1 extra point a...

13. Hillcrest anyone?

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma

    Well, as it turns out I have accepted a position this summer as a nurse extern in cardiac telemetry and I am enjoying the experience thus far. Plus, they are building a new heart hospital, the "Heart Pavillion" and it will be the largest heart hospit...

    Oh.. Ok. What is a VA hospital? I would love for you to explain it to me!
