  1. it would just take a simple click (or two, or twelve!) on this link at youtube... it's a group project. An entertaining video on youtube regarding a specific topic had to be produced and uploaded, and the most hits wins. The group would be VERY grate...
  2. Thank you all so much, this video is in first place :) all your clicks are certainly appreciated! Good luck on finals!!!:)
  3. I just wanted to say thanks again, our count is good. We have a week left... for the video thing that is! we'll have exams this week and next... and then FREEDOM for the summer :) I wish everyone good luck with end of the semester studies! :)
  4. hey, thanks guys!!!!!!:)
  5. you're not kidding!!! Thanks for the reply!
  6. How to face tomorrow

    hey there, thinking of you and wondering how you are doing???
  7. How to face tomorrow

    I've lost three. You need to take some time off, if you had any bleeding you'll want to rest up a bit and not overdo it. It takes time to heal the heart too.... I had great help from a infant loss grief support group. And my last loss was 2.5 year...
  8. teas test at UCO

    and let me try to at least answer your question! I seem to recall that the exact score depends on how many apply and where the "line" is, between the top candidates. So it varies. I know I scored high, but others scored lower and got in as well. ...
  9. teas test at UCO

    I don't remember what the score level was... but if you are going to take it, get a study book (one of the nursing school admission test study books) and practice thinking like a test! (you know, the wording, the choices, the way of thinking..) And...
  10. So, I've been nominated for a position as an officer for my nursing class, and this particular office is something I'd really like to do. However, I'm not one of the "spring chickens" at 45, so I really feel out of touch with some of the "cutesy" cam...
  11. any one out there doing hourly checklists ?

    Here's the link to the study about this. Our hospital does it as well. I don't mind the rounding; it's another habit and I'm in rooms enough but it's the replacement of the forms that I find irritating. It needs to be an administrative task vs. a...
  12. How do YOU decompress?

    After a tough shift, or after a tough day, how do you wind down? I thought we might throw our ideas out there and maybe inspire each other! Let's see: 1. I get home at midnight, and this is perfect weather for a cup of decaf herbal tea and a snack. ...
  13. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    :up:I'm in my mid 40's too! best decade so far. It can only get better, it's been great so far. I've got two more years to go, graduating in Dec. 10. I've got post grad plans for another master's, and eventually hope to go for a doctorate. Learnin...
  14. What is your graduation gift?

    :yeah:Spring Break of 2011, a family cruise out to Hawaii and a few days in the islands! Can't wait!!!
  15. appropriate to befriend an instructor?

    I know it isn't possible while still in school, but I've met some amazing women, and we have a connection through another avenue not related to nursing school. While we can't be "buds" just yet, we are friendly, cordial, and we'll definitely become ...
  16. Holy Crapola

    Hey Pharmgirl, are we in the same school?!?!?! LOL, I came home catatonic and in shock! Off to read...
  17. Hey I have kids, and yes it is going to be really hard to be doing this with littles at home who want as much of me as nursing school does. Will you try not to hold that against me, especially if I am empathetic with you about the challenges in your...
  18. How are you spending the summer?

    I'll be working FT over the summer as a nursing assistant at a hospital, to stockpile some $$ for the fall when my hours go back down. I will run a couple of music-oriented "camps" at my church, and hopefully a vacation with the family SOMEWHERE. T...
  19. Till We Meet Again

    It seemed like it was going to be just another usual Sunday night on our med/surg floor where I work as a tech prior to starting nursing school in the fall. A 3-11 shift doesn't include baths, but if the patient is incontinent of the bowel, there's a...
  20. NICU in OK

    Mercy has an outstanding NICU, and in fact they are building a new unit that is going to have many many more beds. They aren't close to Tinker, but it's a straight highway shot to get there... esp. if you take I-35 up to the Kilpatrick, then over......
  21. Accepted!!

    :yeah:just got my letter in the mail to the program I wanted to get into!!! Oh My Gosh, here we go!! Tia
  22. A Poem for Nursing Students who are Moms

    :Doh, this is so TRUE. funny! Thanks for posting...
  23. What nursing "invention" would make you famous?

    hmm, not a nursing invention per se, but it would make life easier on the floor! How about a "slide" like in an RV, that you could have in a room, so if you needed more room to move equipment, accomodate personnel, you could hit a button, and the ro...
  24. So, I've turned in every single thing that I have to turn in for my application. Only thing not in, are two of the three professors' recommendations. I'll be tracking this, and following up, but I'm not too worried, as one is on the admissions comm...
  25. ugh.. ill... c. diff??

    I'm a soon-to-be-nursing student working as an NA pt on a med surg floor. Last night, I had horrid bellycramps at work, and today I'm feeling nauseous and really (sorry, TMI) having explosive diarrhea. You know what I'm worrying about... As obsessi...
