Oklahoma introductions....

U.S.A. Oklahoma

Published

Some of us in this forum have been here for a while, but there have been several new "faces" lately. :welcome:

So maybe we can do introductions.

Tell us :

your first name (if you want)

where you live

where you work, and what your position is, how long you've been there, etc

if you are in school, the name and type of program

plans for future education

and anything else that's fun to know about you.

Here's me:

My name is Lana (I always tell people that Lana sounds like Banana, and that's how I ended up with my nickname)

I live in Tulsa and have been here for 6 years, 4 years in OKC before that.

I have been at St. John's as a CNA for 1 month and it's sooo educational! I've very glad to have that experience.

I'm in the LPN program at Tulsa Technology Center and it looks like I will be able to finish in late February or early March, I want to take the boards sometime in March though.

After finishing that I am planning to go straight into TCC's LPN-RN program or possibly working a year and then doing OU's LPN-BSN or Langston's LPN-BSN if they have it up and running.

I'm single and looking (although not looking very hard because I don't have time for dating right now!), am 28 years old, and am quickly becoming the "crazy cat lady" because my cat is my baby. She's pictured in my avatar. If you guys have seen that commercial on TLC about "dating is hard, but so is becoming the crazy cat lady," that suits me to a T! I'm going to buy myself the figureine that they sell for it!

Who's next?????

Specializes in CVICU.

First of all, Congrats to pbingham for being accepted into RSU's program! It is competitive, but I truly believe you will have a good experience there. I graduated this May from RSU. If you have any questions, feel free to ask :)

I have been a member a while, but I haven't introduced myself. Here it goes....

My name is Whitney (aka Whitter). I graduated in May. I am an "almost RN" (I take my NCLEX next week!). I work in the CVICU. I truly love nursing. I am going to start working on my BSN in August at RSU and will graduate May 2010. Two more years! :) I would also love to be a NP, CNS or CRNA someday, but who knows?? For now I am going to enjoy the present.... learn... gain experience... enjoy my husband... and travel!.

Everyone have a great week!

Its good to know theres some life in the OK forum! :D

My name is Mellany and I am starting OSU-OKC's 1+1 program through Moore Norman Tech in August. I plan to go directly into OKCU's RN-BSN after I graduate. I want to work in the NICU... cant see myself anywhere else! If anyone has any info about a job that I can get as a nursing student, it would be very much appreciated.

I've been married to my husband for 2 years now and we have a 2 year old little boy. Life has been crazy balancing school and the family, but I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Nice to meet you all!!! and good luck in NURSING!

Specializes in CCU.

Hi everyone. I've been a lurker on the forums on and off for awhile and I should have replied to this post awhile ago so here goes.

I'll 24 in August and I live in oklahoma city with my husband. No children yet, so it's just us. I recently got accepted to OSU-OKC nursing program for the Fall, and I'm very excited and a little nervous to get the ball rolling. I plan to go straight to OU or UCO to complete the RN-BSN bridge ASAP. I am not sure exactly what area I want to specialize in yet, but hopefully will get some experience and find my niche. I am leaning more towards going to graduate school to become a pratitioner and open my own clinic in underrespresented areas. I really look forward to working night shifts, because I am not a morning person. I will be working part-time and juggling nursing school so I don't have to borrow from loans. Good luck to everyone!

Hi All,

My name is Mindy and I live in Yukon. I have been an active member over in the prenursing forums but not here. Luckily, my computer is back up and running now so I have the chance to get to know you all.

I am studying for the HESI now to get into OSU/OKC's program in the spring. I have four kids....16,8,7, and 6. This will be the first year that they are all in school all day so this is the time that I am going to kick it up and get things done. I look forward to getting to know you all
