    Excellent. Thank you for the advice! I've decided to take the ER position, continue to grow as a nurse and if something happens to come along that will aid me in becoming an even better nurse...well...I will take that opportunity as well!

    Yes the residency is en the ED, and the way residency's work in my state is that you are a full-fledged RN w/ regular pay and everything. So it is a job already. You sign a 2 year contract and you have mandatory education. Granted, you don't complete...
  3. Wow, I just posted a similar circumstance that I am having. I currently don't have either job, but am planning for the future. My personal thought's are to take the job that you want. Employers look out for the company, you look our for yourself. If ...

    Hey Everyone, What are your thoughts on accepting an RN job (as a new grad) to hold me over until the job that I want starts? The job I desire is a nurse residency program at a level 1 Trauma facility, but does not start for another 4 months. I have ...

    Here is a link that you may find helpful: The University of Oklahoma College of Nursing - Prospective Students. It has the admission stats for the past 3 years, but not 2012 yet. My cumulative GPA was only a 3.37. I really thought I had 0 chance on g...

    We'll pick up our patches, scrubs, etc. the first week of school. I was told that we will only wear our scrubs to clinical's and to just dress casually for class/lectures.

    Never mind! I guess D2L was updated and now I see all the info. I will create a Facebook group when I get home this evening, that way we can easily use each other as a resource. I'll post on here and email everyone via D2L when I've created the group...

    That was another question I had. Where do we post it and were we given any instructions/guidelines for this?
  11. University of Oklahoma ABSN Summer 2012

    Did anyone catch at orientation when our patches and polos would be in? Also, are we wearing our uniform/scrubs to class? I guess with us all going down to the basement I missed a few things.

    I haven't found any groups on Facebook yet. I suppose we could start one. Also I talked to the woman who handles our clinical packets (immunizations, background checks, etc) and she told me we can just bring all our records to the orientation and don...

    I still haven't heard anything on the national background check. Did you hear anything TiffT?
  14. University of Oklahoma ABSN Summer 2012

    Has anyone done there National Background check yet? I did mine on the 10th and OU says they still don't have it yet. I don't have anything on there I have to worry about, I'm just wanting to make sure it was taken care of properly.

    I was the same way. Apparently they only accepted 43 applicants. I feel very, very lucky to have gotten in. Just as a heads up, if you want to purchase your scrubs buy from a place called "The Uniform Shoppe" in Oklahoma City. The nursing advisor poi...
