  1. Scrub Colors at Oklahoma City University Medical Center

    OklaLPN replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    How childish to state that the nurses look nasty. Do you work at the OU Med Center? Or are you a student and just doing your clinicals there? If not, please don't classify and criticize all of the...

  2. Deemed unsafe

    OklaLPN replied to mimi225's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Mimi, So sorry this has happened to you. Some of us have certainly had instructors that were like this. But, as I reread your post, this thought came to me. If you do decide to appeal to the...

    OklaLPN replied to JessiekRN's topic in General Nursing

    Jessiek... Did you see some of the other videos? These are hysterical!!!

  4. What's so bad about Midwest City Regional Hospital?

    OklaLPN replied to pyt86's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Sorry..not on a "high" horse. Yes, there are newer hospitals, but, that is not the reason many nurses stay away from Midwest City. But, will refrain from publicly or privately, stating my reasons....

  5. Keiser vs. TCC vs.LPN

    OklaLPN replied to kelly138's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    May I ask...What and where is Keiser and Lively in Oklahoma?

  6. ? re unlabeled meds

    OklaLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Have a question to present to all of you. Had a patient's family attempt to give me unlabeled meds to place in the medcart for the patient. I told them that I would not accept anything that...

  7. ? re unlabeled meds

    OklaLPN replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much to all for your replies. Yes, I know I did the right thing! Manncer...I wanted to let you know that I do appreciate your response, but, I really wasn't confrontational to the family....

  8. What the word N.U.R.S.E. stands for

    OklaLPN replied to Hawaiian's topic in General Nursing

    I think that was just "purrfect"

  9. Yukon...Bethany

    OklaLPN replied to toadfrog's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Probably the smaller of the three schools would be Bethany. Maybe about the size of Sand Springs. Yukon and Mustang are about the same size as Jenks. Are you looking for a hospital or another type of...

  10. NSO vs. Proliability

    OklaLPN replied to CollaborateRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there, For a few years, I had my insurance with NSO. But, for some reason this past year, I had the hardest time getting them to acknowledge payment with my Mastercard. It was an absolute mess. So...

  12. Staffing concerns - short vent

    OklaLPN posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don't know what eveyone else's working conditions are...just my latest experience. It seems lately, that the CNA's are not calling in when going to be late, ill, ill child, etc. They just don't show...

  13. Question re Admission to Francis Tuttle LPN Program (OKC)

    OklaLPN replied to t_mclemore's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I am a grad of Francis Tuttle. When I applied, I believe we only had to pass the Compass, some previous pre-reqs and nursing experience. I was not even a CNA. I was fortunate to be admitted to the...

  14. Oklahoma Nurses get paid WHAT?!

    OklaLPN replied to Mrs.BSN71109's topic in General Nursing

    Sadly, that salary sounds correct. Also, don't forget that Oklahoma is an "at will state". That is why we will never have a union for patient ratios and salaries. Sad...

  15. online education

    OklaLPN replied to kevokie's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    The Oklahoma BON does not recognize the on line Excelsior program at this time. When I checked with the BON last year, I was told that this program did not meet the clinical requirement hours. Hope...

  16. LPN wonders about agency work

    OklaLPN replied to rebes711's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I think the first thing I would check with the agency, to see if they have some type of orientation and skill check off. What type of hospital or LTC experience do you have? I realize that you need a...

  17. Longing to get out of LTC

    OklaLPN replied to evilolive's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Travel50... May I come to work for you? I would give anything for my DON to make rounds on our floor during our shifts. I can't count on one hand the times that she has come to even say hi. Work the...

  18. Opinions on Midwest Regional Med Center

    OklaLPN replied to jenlouket's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I used to work for this facility. Couldn't wait to get out...what a mess !!!! Absolutely NO support from management to HR (Personally felt that HR was the worst). Just remember this...the scholarship...

  19. Calling In for ANY Reason using PTOs

    OklaLPN replied to dRkazN's topic in General Nursing

    Let me play Devil's Advocate here... You stated that you are a recent graduate. Have you just started working for your current employer? You also stated that when you try to call in, you are...

  20. Wedding in Taos this spring

    OklaLPN replied to OklaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for your reply and the tip to try to shop outside of Taos. Hopefully, I can find something since we are going to spend some days shopping before we get to Taos. It's going to be a...

  21. Wedding in Taos this spring

    OklaLPN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Greetings to all... I know this is a really crazy question, but, what to wear as the mother of the groom for a May wedding? I know that the weather can be unpredictable (I live in Oklahoma). As the...

  22. Mercy or ST. Anthony's?

    OklaLPN replied to willma70's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hmmm...times must be tough at Mercy. I was under the impression that Mercy was not hiring LPN's unless you were attending school for your RN. Is that pay what they are offering you? No way would I...

  23. Francis Tuttle?

    OklaLPN replied to Katy-NursingStudent's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I started in the ISP program and then switched when a fulltime slot opened up. I found that I received more detailed instruction from teachers in the fulltime program and with lab time. Instructors...
