Hello.

I couldn't order carrot cake from Outback Steakhouse in Lawton, Oklahoma because the waitress said that due to Hurricane Ike, their distributor had not made deliveries in over a month!

Hopefully you'll get this soon. My best friends mother is from canada and is from the mic mac tribe. Her mom has many brothers and sisters, but there is still at least one that is still unaccounted for. If there is anything that you want to know, I'd be more than happy to get the info. for you, or even put the two of you in contact with each other.

I agree completely with you waterwomyn! The power of many is much greater than the power of a few. This issue has caused so much discord in tribes, and it is just a shame. So many natives complain about the way the federal government "stole" land, and that the federal government didn't give enough as part of the treaty agreement, BUT, it is clear that money being the root of all evil, includes natives as well as non-natives. The Oneida (just an example) can't independently manage 32 acres of land without allowing greed (the very thing white's have been accused of forever!) to consume their dealings with their own brothers and sisters, although they expect blessings?! Then, displaced members of the tribe and others just like it, seek intervention from the same federal government that they would normally curse. What a contradiction!

I'm interested in finding out how many nurses from allnurses.com use dosage calculators at work. If you do use one is it frowned upon by the veteran nurses? Do you find it to be fool proof? Do you find it to be less time consuming to use a dosage calculator as opposed to writing out formulas or doing them in your head? If you do not use one, why not?

Sorry for hijacking this thread but thank you sooooo much sw 07 and 2bTulRNKim! I was really stressing about what areas of math to brush up on and even considering other majors, but the two of you have really helped me out with the information you provided! ~Alexis

SW_07, What types of math problems were covered before you could go on to clinicals. I am so bad at math that I'm rethinking this whole nursing thing. I know math well enough to not be cheated out of money, but that's about it!

I would like to thank all of you for replying to my post!

Hello luvmy2girls, Do you know how often nursing 1-4 are offered? After reviewing the course schedule at WOSC for this fall, I noticed that nursing 1 and 3 are the only courses out of the four offered this semester. So is it safe to assume that only nursing 1 and 3 are offered during the fall semester, and only nursing 1 and 4 are offered during the spring?

I spoke with an instructor in the nursing department at Western, and she said that while completion of their "prerequisite semester" consisting of A&P, Chem 101, and Algebra 101, will make a prospective nursing student "eligible" for entry into their nursing program, it is highly recommended that if not all, then most of the 31 GE requirements be met in order to have a better chance at obtaining entry into the nursing program. Most, if not all of Western's nursing students had the majority or even all of the GE requirements satisfied, which makes the application process very competitive. Upon successful entry into the nursing program, the only courses left to take are Nursing I, Nursing II, Nursing III, and Nursing IV all of which are worthe 9 credits each, for a total of 67 credits obtained; satisfying the number of credits needed to obtain the ADN-RN degree from Western.

Where can I find more information about the loan rehab program?

Hey, we're both the same age, and have been out of school for the same length of time! How cool is it that we've decided to pursue a career path that we feel so enthusiastic about?

Thanks for the replies! I'm hoping that the wait for the ASN program is shorter here in Lawton and/or Altus than it is in OKC and Tulsa since our area is not as heavily populated. I'm aiming for the ASN program as Western. ASN because if I can get into the program in a timely fashion, I will be able to complete the program by the time my husband separates from the Army. I will be contacting the nursing department at Western today to find out about their curriculum plan. The one that I saw on their website for the nursing program looks to be very do-able, but too good to be true.

Do all nursing programs have long wait lists? I was hoping to begin school spring '07 and completing my pre reqs by fall 08, and applying to a nursing program here in Lawton,OK. by spring 09. However, I am feeling discouraged as of late due to many nursing students and nurses who mention the 2-3 year wait lists that they had to face when they applied to nursing school.

Perhaps I am a little late but, my A&P class begins this Saturday, and I am beyond anxious! I had to exercise alot of self control to stop myself from purchasing the text and workbooks required for this semester before class has actually started! I feel very confident that I will do well in this class and can't wait to get started!
