  1. Baylor nursing program

    Can anyone tell me the average overall GPA and science GPA that gets admitted to the Baylor program? I'm thinking about applying for the spring semester, but have no idea what is needed to have a chance. I would be a transfer student (from out of s...
  2. For those of you that have completed your FIRST year (of BSN)...

    I agree with marilynmom. You will gain so much confidence after your first year of nursing school that it is amazing. I started off with zero experience in health care and fumbling around the hospital in clinicals to feeling like I belong there bec...
  3. OUHSC BSN nursing program

    Not sure where you heard that, but I am in the OU program and know very few people that have Macs! Most people use PCs which I think are easier to use with the online class programs.
  4. nursing compact for Oklahoma?

    What's a nursing compact for the state?
  5. nursing degree final 2 years

    I know some generic BSN programs start with nursing classes in the sophomore year.
  6. What to expect at clinicals

    Thank you everyone for posting about your clinical experiences! They really are helpful for those of us who have no clue what to expect. Is there usually a lot of downtime during your clinical day? It seems there would be, only caring for one pat...
  7. INTERSHIP vs EXTERNSHIP

    Are there places you can find out about different externship opportunities? When do you usually sign up for them?
  8. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    I've noticed a lot of people recommend getting supplies such as alcohol swabs, bandage scissors, etc. Do your clinical settings not provide these supplies for you? I'm a little confused as to why they would be extra costs for students.
  9. INTERSHIP vs EXTERNSHIP

    Lamesiah, I'm pretty sure externships are almost over over a periods of 6-8 weeks. How much do externships generally pay? And where can you find information on different ones from around the country?
  10. How many people actually have PDA's?

    Do most people also buy regular copies of the books as well, in addition to the PDA software versions?
  11. How many people actually have PDA's?

    This will probably seem like a dumb question, but what benefit do PDAs really offer? From what I gathered, they allow you to not have to lug your books to class and clinicals, right? Are there search functions that allow you to do homework quicker ...
  12. Sale at Uniform Shoppe

    Do you know if they sell Litmann stethoscopes? I need to get mine still, and was looking to buy online. I've heard allheart has the best prices, but they are very unreliable in shipping. Does anyone know of somewhere in the OKC area that sells the...
  13. to live in oklahoma

    Bestplaces.net is also a good place to get that kind of information. You can compare the cost of living, schools, weather, etc. with other places. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but I think it's pretty reliable. Like Dotti said, it can get hot ...
  14. CNA summer job

    Congrats, Lana! ICCU should be very interesting to work in. I hope everything works out for you.
  15. CNA summer job

    What kinds of things do CNAs do in hospitals? Are there other jobs available in hospitals for nursing students that aren't CNAs? The pay sounds great, but I was just wondering what else there was.
  16. CNA summer job

    How much do CNAs make, if you don't mind me asking?
  17. CNA summer job

    What exactly do you have to do to get CNA certified? I'm starting a BSN program this fall and won't work my first semester, but I'd really like to have a job in a hospital after that. I'm assuming most students work as CNAs, right?
  18. RN starting salary in OKC

    What exactly is a nurse partner at OU Med Center? I've heard of the program before, what kinds of things do you do? Also, what are the hours like?
  19. Traditional BSN programs in state

    Good luck.
  20. RN starting salary in OKC

    Both. I'm not sure if it's the same everywhere, but at the OU Med Center they don't distinguish pay-wise between ASN or BSN nurses, at least for the first few years.
  21. 2005 NCLEX pass rates for Oklahoma here!

    Thank you both for posting those. :)
  22. Traditional BSN programs in state

    Do you happen to know where can I find information on NCLEX pass rates for different schools?
  23. RN starting salary in OKC

    I've heard new grads can make about $40,000-45,000 in Oklahoma. It was on an info sheet from the OUHSC program, but no details other than that.
  24. Baylor nursing program

    Thank you, I didn't catch that when looking around on their website. Is there any particular reason Baylor doesn't seem to be as hard to get into as most of the other traditional BSN programs in Texas (TWU, UT, etc)?
  25. Traditional BSN programs in state

    Congrats on the UCO acceptance!
