  1. Question about strep throat

    I don't think I read too much into anything :) I responded to exactly what was written. If the OP is on a nursing board she knows to get medical advice from a doctor. Maybe you read into mine too much
  2. New to traveling

    Tango do you know which companies specifically are good to go with for the Indian Health Hospitals? I've looked around and can't find any
  3. Question about strep throat

    who said she was seeking medical advice here? She asked a general question, it could be for personal knowledge, or for a school paper, or simply to prove a point to someone who thinks they know it all. You should brush up on your nursing guidelines t...
  4. Question about strep throat

    yes, they have terrible breath if they have the white patchy strep. it's basically infective sores with scabs in the back of the throat.
  5. New to traveling

    I think you need a new agency! Do a search and see, ER nurses are in need and I've seen people travel with less experience than 16 months. Although you may not have an ABUNDANCE of opportunities, it sounds to me that your recruiter/company is not try...
  6. Why should I encourage rest before/after meals to pts?

    I would think because of the imbalance, less than body requirements... meaning calorie/nutrition intake being low...the patient needs to conserve calories consumed and not increase calorie burning. that's the only way I can think of it directly rela...
  7. help with spouse

  8. help with spouse

    Just an idea... maybe he could work for an apartment complex... does he do maintenance/handy stuff too? Maintenance people usually get a free apartment from that complex, and you could pocket the tax free stipend! :)
  9. How did you find a job as a new grad?

    It's so crazy to me when I read of new grads having this issue in other states. I guess I just never knew this was such an issue... TWO YEARS?!??! That's insane. Pack up your fam and come to Oklahoma or Texas! lol. I know here ALL of the hospitals hi...

  11. Pearson Vue Trick - Does it Work Every Time? Part 2

    You need to read the sticky titled pearson vue trick part two... Especially the last several posts, they explain it in detail and one person gave a screen shot of exactly what it says and looks like. Just FYI, it just worked for me.... Good luck!
  12. Got into nursing school,but can't afford to go

    Oklahoma University is RIDICULOUS with tuition - is there not ANY other nursing program, even ADN you can get into here? I know there are tons.... without putting yourself in serious debt at graduation. OCCC is the #1 two year in the state (pass rate...

  14. Questions for LPN's who have taken NCLEX RN

    I have been an LPN for 13 years.... I am also taking NCLEX RN next week.... I'm wondering the same thing! I can't see how the PN could possibly be harder... These RN practice questions are much more thought provoking. I personally think most of the P...
  15. Need CA RN history lesson :)

    Hello! I could use some help, hoping there are some CA nurses on here that either know the answer to this question or can point me to the person that does. Is it a true statement that in 1984, someone could sit for NCLEX without any nursing educatio...

  21. Relocating to Lawton

    unfortunately lawton doesn't have a ton of choices for places to work for nurses..... but at least the pay is okay for Lawton. Stay away from the southeast side... close to downtown/lee blvd/ft.sill blvd - if you're new here I would try the east side...
  22. Want to go into psych nursing in the Tulsa area

    I was the children's residential charge nurse at Shadow Mountain for about 3 years.... that place is ROUGH at times, but you can get an entry level position easily, especially with your background - and they will train you as a MHT, you can work hand...
