My husband might be getting a new job in Tulsa. I haven't been there yet and am wondering what it's like, what nursing is like there, pay, etc. I read some threads that said new grads start around $18 plus diff, etc. I have been an RN for over 2 year...

I am currently in an ADN program (only 6 more months left!) and plan to start the RN-BSN program about 10 months after I graduate. I already have a BS, so I really only need the nursing classes. I am planning on starting in ICU right away and getting...

I know I should be happy and just get on with my life since Pearson's quick results said I passed, but I'm still not in my state's BON. I live in NC and other people were given their license # within 3 or 4 days after taking the test--they could go o...

I know this has been asked before, but I'm hoping I can find a more specific answer to my question(s). I graduated in 2000 with a BS in biological conservation, but now I want to go back to school for nursing (I think). I want to stay in the Charlo...

I agree, forget the LPN. Most hospitals don't even hire LPNs anymore. If you can't do the BSN right away because of money or time, get your ADN then do RN-BSN. I got my ADN and then worked full-time as an RN while doing my BSN. You have a long way t...

Did anyone get into the DNP program?

Congrats!! I got my email today too, going to Tulsa, my #1 choice.

I think most schools require the GRE within the last 5 years, at least the ones I applied to. I think that's because the scores are only available for 5 years from the testing site. I waited until I was in ICU to take it.

How'd your interview go today Loveseacraft? Did they say anything about when they are making decisions? Last week I heard by the end of the month, but the waiting is already killing me.

I got my TCU invite today too!! Dec 3, now to make the arrangements and prepare more for the interview .

I'm waiting with you :uhoh21:....

I finally took the exam and passed today with a 115 !! Thanks to all who advised to use the PASS CCRN CD and Laura Gasparis videos....I used those in addition to the pharmacology section at the end of Pass CCRN book. My brain was about to explode.

One of the schools I'm applying to wants a letter of recommendation from the director of the school of nursing. The problem is I never met the director of the school of nursing from my RN-BSN or ADN program. I recently moved several states away so I ...

Anyone know where I can get just the Pass CCRN CD? I bought the book (with the CD) last year, but pushed taking the CCRN back d/t knee surgery, took the GRE, and moved twice. Now I'm studying again, found my Pass CCRN book but no CD! I can't find it ...

I was planning on applying to UNCC for next fall (until we moved several states away), which is affilitated with Carolinas Medical Center (CMC). I worked at CMC for 2 years and shadowed a CRNA there. Just FYI, CMC is a teaching hospital and I was tol...

I've always heard CVP referring to RA pressures, including the research I've read. I just recently moved and when I called the RA a CVP (talking about the proximal port of a PA catheter) I was corrected and told it is an RA, NOT CVP since the reading...

I'm not a CRNA or CRNA student yet, but here's my 2 cents....I would transfer to SICU if possible. I worked full time nights and did my RN-BSN, and switched from CV step-down to STICU (in a different hospital so I had to learn new hospital stuff too)...

Well, I've been in Tulsa for almost 2 months, and just started at Saint Francis a few weeks ago. So far so good. I miss Charlotte more than I thought I would, but everyone here seems really nice and friendly. mikeLPN2RN--Are you liking MICU? I inter...

I figured it was just a preference, or whether one is taught using RAP vs CVP. This particular nurse was adamant that it was RAP and that to call it CVP was wrong, although the values for CVP and RAP are the same. Maybe she would use CVP if the tip o...

Thanks for the replies. My husband and I visited Tulsa for 4 days the week before Thanksgiving, and he's been living there since the end of Nov. I'm stuck packing and working out my final days here in NC. I have a job at St Francis in the CICU. I hop...

I don't know what GRE requirements for U of Pitt are, but I know people who have gotten in with not so great GRE scores. One just got into UNCC with a score in the 900s, and she didn't do any portion of the written.

We might be relocating due to my husband's job to Tulsa, OK. Of course, OK doesn't have ANY CRNA schools. Uggh! I was just about to send in my app at UNCC when we found out, so now I probably have to wait another year. Thought about staying here for ...

Anyone? I can't believe no one has any input on Tulsa.

I don't know about online programs, but I've just started researching the distance option at TCU, where you have to attend the first fall semester in Texas, then can go to a designated site to finish. Classes are via teleconference, and clinical is a...

This might sound silly, but for those that have applied to 2 or more schools, do you give the people filling out your recommendations forms for each school? I had only planned on applying to 1 or 2 schools, no big deal to ask someone to fill out 1 or...
