    MotherNurseWife replied to nursemike's topic in Nursing News

    Thanks for sharing a positive story. It is just what I needed

  2. University of Oklahoma LPN-BSN

    MotherNurseWife replied to lalaland024's topic in LPN to RN

    TBH? I have no clue. I'm not sure that there is a preceptor dynamic like there was in LPN school. You can email them or attend an information session for answers to your questions. You could also toss...

  3. I thought I wanted to be a L&D nurse...

    MotherNurseWife replied to emis's topic in LPN to RN

    Is there an area that you are struggling with specifically? How are you studying for this course? I am an LPN-BSN student but I won't start OB until next semester. I did, however, have to pass...

  4. LPN-RN cost

    MotherNurseWife replied to lpnnursegirl's topic in LPN to RN

    Ten years ago I paid about 1500 for my LPN program. My LPN to BSN program is going to be about 17k for tuition, books, fees, and uniforms. That does not include the cost of my 2 years of...

  5. University of Oklahoma LPN-BSN

    MotherNurseWife replied to lalaland024's topic in LPN to RN

    Classes are one Saturday a month and testing is done during that time. The other testing is done online with your webcam running while running a blocker that prevents leaving the test. I am told the...

  6. Anyone else regret becoming a nurse?

    MotherNurseWife replied to Florida Sun RN's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered home health or hospice? I agree with Hoosier_RN, it is all about finding your niche. A co worker once told me, "The only time I felt like I really made a difference in someone's...

  7. Lower Columbia College LPN2RN?

    MotherNurseWife replied to SR8811's topic in LPN to RN

    My sister graduated from that program in August. She and the 5 women she made friends with all had positive experiences and passed their boards on the first

  8. No word from BON for NCLEX- When is it safe to apply for jobs?

    MotherNurseWife replied to 2bcomeRN's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I would not apply for a nursing job until I passed the NCLEX. I am not familiar with jobs that will hire/ train you before you are licensed, but assuming there are some around I would wait until I had...

  9. How did you know when your specialty was THE one

    MotherNurseWife replied to K.Alva's topic in General Nursing

    No AHA moment for me either. I just work to pay the bills. One of the perks of nursing is that you can move around every few years until you find something that fits. Hats off to all of you who have...

  10. I accepted the fact nursing isn't for me, what do I do?

    MotherNurseWife replied to 8Lovenursing8's topic in General Nursing

    Are you currently working long term care? I ask because I have seen several new nurses get chewed up and spat out in a nursing home. My first job was in LTC and it was so hard even though I had a...

  11. OU LPN to BSN NACE Exam 2018

    MotherNurseWife replied to 1soon2brn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hi! Did you take your challenge exams? How did it go? I am applying for the Jan 2019 cohort as well. I passed Care of the Child last week and am all set to apply as soon as the applications open

  12. Just can't get in....grades not good enough

    MotherNurseWife replied to clover2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I looked it up and WA only has 5 (!!?!) LPN programs. That just seems crazy because in Oklahoma there are 49 campuses. I'm sure that speaks to WA preference for RN's. I'm sorry that you are having a...

  13. NACE

    MotherNurseWife replied to kowenslpn's topic in LPN to RN

    There are practice exams for the NACE II online. After you register for the test you have to set up a login on the NLN website, after logging in there is a tab that says "store". Go there and find the...

  14. OU LPN-BSN program fall 2018 applicant.

    MotherNurseWife replied to Jean-Lys's topic in School, College Programs

    Congrats Jean-Lys. I didn't get to apply for the fall start due to missing my Peds challenge exam by 1 point. I will be applying this fall for a Spring start instead. Good luck to everyone who...

  15. OU LPN to BSN NACE Exam 2018

    MotherNurseWife replied to 1soon2brn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I used the 2017 Saunders NCLEX. I also benefitted from a series by Mary Ann Hogan that I found cheap at Thriftbooks.com; Look for "Reviews and Rationals" series. If you are able, spread the tests out...

  16. Should I go for RN?

    MotherNurseWife replied to LPNTELE's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. Go for it. Most RN programs have 3 semesters of prereqs before your can apply. By the time you are done with those you will know for sure if you want your RN. Good

  17. Nurse Practitioner Oklahoma

    MotherNurseWife replied to kate42024's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Have you looked at OU? MSN Family Nurse

  18. University of Oklahoma 2018 BSN Program

    MotherNurseWife replied to Mlenhart09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying for the LPN-BSN program. I have my last two NLN exams this Friday. Are you applying for the traditional program? I'm applying at OKC and Lawton. My GPA is garbage at 2.9 thanks to a bad...
