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 nurses this way, regarding their scrubs. You may be w...

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 administration of your nursing school, do you think t...

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

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. Been there..,.done that:D OklaLPN

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

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 wasn't labeled from the pharmacy. They said " Oh, it do...

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. I was very polite and used my nicest manners. Ple...

I think that was just "purrfect" OklaLPN

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 facility? Could give you some areas to apply. What...

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 just said to heck with it and went with Proliabili...

Moogie, I certainly do agree with you!!! I did my nursing clinicals in a very prominent "Magnet" hospital while in school. I worked my tail off right along side the RN's. But, when the time came for graduation, got the same "excuse"..."sorry, we don'...

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 up or call!!! I do know that management treats th...

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 first nurse option program (no longer available). We ...

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... OklaLPN

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 this helps... OklaLPN

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 job quickly, but, you may need to consider some ty...

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 floor when we are so short...not likely!!! I rememb...

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 money may look great now, but, if the working cond...

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 questioned about your illness. Is it possible that you are ...

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 great trip!!! OklaLPN

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 wedding rehearsal dinner will be outdoors, what can ...

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 work for that salary, especially with their "magnet" ...

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 also seemed to be more "student friendly" in the ful...

I am a grad of Francis Tuttle. What questions do you have?
