1. There are a number of different options. I really enjoyed working at the Bedlam clinic on Tuesday and Thursday nights 5-9. This semester we worked a lot with the Tulsa Health Department (there...
Sure. The summer (the first one) is really jammed. Remember your fall and spring semester = regular course load. I won't lie - summer is hard- you are getting the hang of nursing school - ACK! Fall...
Okay Mr. Young Sprout - are you trying to make me feel old??!?!!? You will probably find that you are about the average age of the people in your class. Not to date myself, but I will be 31 in July...
The only other things that you will need: CPR... They don't require anything else. I graduate from OU-Tulsa on August 1. I have really liked the program. The speed especially. Don't get me wrong,...
No worries! You kept sterile technique, that is the most important part of the procedure. You were be careful, as you perform the procedure more, you will gain a little more speed. I am sorry that...
Are you in the program now? Let's see what can I tell you....I have spoken with the pharm teacher who is great about your program (she teaches pharm even though it is supposed to be an online class...
sonicdevo - I thought for sure that I would not get in. My GPA was not even a 3.0 (had too much fun my freshman year of college). Science GPA was 4.0. OU looks @ your last 60 credit hours. So...
I don't know which campus you are applying too, but I am attending the Tulsa campus. 1) What kind of schedule do they have you on? (ie Weekdays only? How many rotation/class days a week?) It depends...
mistiffy - my GPA was NOT as high as Kristina's. I am at the Tulsa campus. I am in the accelerated nursing program. We started with 31 and still have 27 left. My overall GPA right now is 3.07, my...
WAIT!!! I got to OU! AND I LOVE IT!!! They have so many opportunities for nursing students in all directions. The faculty are great and I think that we are nice. Some of my closest friends...
mistiffy - no worries about TCC, I am sorry that you didn't get in, but there is a different path for you. BUT, I didn't get into TCC either and took an extra semester of pre-req's and got into OU....
Just a note on the books, I just started ( and finished my first week) of the ABSN program, our books were a little more than yours. BUT, the online books are AWESOME! Everyone in my class loves...
Congratulations Dotti. Your hard work has paid off! Best of luck to you in achieving your ultimate goals! This milestone is just another hurdle on your journey. GOOD
np_wannabe - Good luck! You will do just fine. Please keep in mind like any life change - it will take some adjustment. You will always be the mommy, never just an observer. So please don't sell...
I love those moments too! And I especially love going to study group and sharing the AHA moment so that we all have it, especially if like EricEnfermero said it is before the
2 children - 3 yr & 18mo. Have been going to school full-time since June of last year getting all of my pre- req's completed. I did work full-time prior to going to school. The babies are in...
Cherish - most of the schools in my area require the courses to be seperate, they won't accept you if you have combined A&P, so I was in the same boat as you. I agree with Violingirl that there...
At TCC now, all students start their level one in the AWESOME new facility at SE campus - they have all the latest and greatest gadgets all paid for by Vision 2025. So you really either go to Metro (...
I am not personally going to Langston, but one of the girls from my chemistry class is starting in the fall. She is so excited to get going. She had the same feelings as you, they really helped her...
NESS2bNURSE- thank you! I am really excited and am glad that I took 21 credit hours last semester in the hopes to get ready for nursing school. Not the same level of classes as nursing school but...
np_wannabe - I am in the same boat, I start my ABSN next week. My children are 18 mo. and 3. I wasn't a stay-at-home mom when I went back to school though. So, I have a pretty established routine....
