I was wondering if anyone from Oklahoma is on this board, and if so, where you attend nursing school. v

I'm enrolled in school now, and taking my prereqs to become a nurse. I'm just starting out and really intrigued with the whole nursing field. If anyone knows of a really good book to read about nursing please recommend! Thanks in advance:D

Cynthia, I'm glad you made that appointment!! I think everything is gonna work out great for you! I work out at All American too! I go to the Quail Creek All American off of May ave. I want to lose a "little" bit more weight. I'm 5'3" and 3/4 (I m...

Cynthia; Marilyn, I'll be attending the pre-nursing seminar. I'll will keep you guys posted and tell all the details if either of you are unable to attend. I was SO relieved to hear that the pass rate was higher than 90%. Rebecca was *VERY* excit...

Hi everyone, I talked to the nurse director today at Rose State, Rebecca Ray. She is very nice, and very easy to talk to. She said that this last class that graduated scored higher (she didn't say how much higher) than 90 percent (pass rate), beca...

The pre-nursing seminar is going to be held next Thursday, April 10 at OSU-OKC in the Health Tech building room 100. There are two scheduled sessions : 11:30a.m.- 1:00p.m. 5:30p.m. - 7:00 p.m. I'm definetly attending the the 5:30 - 7:00 v

Do you have to have intermidiate algrebra to take nutrition, since it is a science class, or do you have to only have that for Chemistry? I'm going to have to score higher on the Compass test to be able to take Intermidiate Algebra (I just DON'T rem...

Great thread Marilyn! I was getting kinda scared thinking about chemistry. I definetly feel more confident now! v

Cynthiann, Don't worry yourself about the pass rate. Just inquire and keep your options open. You'll be fine, something will work out! :) Having said that, I have heard WONDERFUL things about Rose State's program. The LPN at my doctors office sai...

Marilyn, I like math too, but all this talk of Chemistry has me a wee bit scared..LOL. My mom always tells me, just because something is hard doesn't mean it can't be done! So we'll be fine! Rstewart, Thanks again for infinite wisdom..lol. You ...

I found out what the pass rate is for Rose State. I FINALLY got to talk to the nurse director, Rebecca Ray. She told me their pass rate had gone down to 78%, but that every school (I don't know if that's true) had a decrease in their pass rate. S...

I didn't study over spring break either. I'm still trying to decide what to take this summer. I'm thinking of taking American Federal goverment and Nutrition. Or Chemistry and Intermidate Algebra. I really don't want to take any classes on cam...

Marilyn, I'm on page 57 now. I've been taking advantage of spring break...lol. So far it's a very good book. The guy who wrote the book gives excellent tips for studying, taking notes, and reading boring material "actively". I think it's a really...

It was hard for me to put Intensive Care down...lol. I cried several times while reading that book. She has a way of making everything come alive. I don't really have any favorite authors. I really love non-fiction books though. I read a really ...

Marilyn, I finished reading Intensive Care about 4 weeks ago by Echo Heron. I know in that book she worked for a doctor that was a complete butthole while she was still a nursing student. It was an awesome book! I'm now reading Tending Lives by Ech...

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one that reconsider the whole nursing thing because of butt wiping..lol. I just have such a week stomach. Last week my cat threw up, and I COULD NOT bring myself to clean it up, I called my hubby in to do it...lol!...

rstewart, I have a question. Do the nurses insert all the tubes into the patient or does the doctor do that? You know it's really weird, I'm not scared of needles, or blood, or guts, but wiping a buttcrack almost deterred me from being a nurse...LO...

LOL LOL!!!:roll Marilyn, I think I'm going to take Nutrition and American Federal Government online. I'm going to take Intermediate Algebra and Chemistry concurrently this fall. I don't want to screw up in Chemistry. Then again I don't know. May...

Hello Marilyn and Cynthiann, Marilyn thanks for calling around! Oh yeah, my name is Vonda, so you guys don't have to keep calling me just-wondering...LOL! :chuckle :roll I have thought about working as a CNA. I know this is going to sound mean, b...

Someone asked me about Saints which is where I work. Our critical care unit is 32 beds and is not divided into separate cardiac, surgical, neuro etc intensive care units so you get a lot of variety. We also have an open heart recovery program on our ...

I know that pay sucks ! I make $11.07 working for the State of Oklahoma, and all I do is sit on my butt, type, and surf the web! Plus I have decent benefits..LOL! It will be hard to leave for just $15.00 an hour for all that hard work nurses hav...

I'm just starting Cynthiann so I don't have a lot of classes under my belt. I just found out I earned 7 college credits for my job in the military (clerical). I know 2 hours will go towards the first aid. I'm exempt from taking that..lol. The end...

I really hate they are phasing out the NP program:( . I've given the CRNA some thought. I definetly want my masters in something to do with nursing. I don't think they have a CRNA program here in Oklahoma. I believe they do in Texas though. Has ...

On this site http://www.osuokc.edu/prospects/facts.htm it says OSU-OKC has a 92% pass rate! That's excellent! If Rose State is lower than that, I'll probably go to OSU(it's WAY closer to me than Rose State). Thanks for asking the student in advanc...

I also want my masters (to become a Practitioner), which is why I wanted to go to OSU-OKC. The A&P classes at Rose State won't transfer unless you take the classes separately. I do want to come out with some experience though, so I do wonder ab...
