  1. Drug names and dosages

    marilynmom replied to ClassQ1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't worry about it right now, there is no way to memorize every drug you come across and that is not the point of learning pharm--it is to give you an introduction to pharm and to learn what to look...

  2. Nursing schools

    marilynmom replied to Mommy2NQ's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on the individual school here, we have excellent BSN and ADN programs. So I would say here the BSN and ADN programs are equally

  4. Prereq classes vs. nursing school

    marilynmom replied to coopman712's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is just a different type of studying. I made A's and B's in my pre-reqs and now make A's and B's in nursing school (just finishing my second semester). I don't find it that particularly hard. The...

  5. Question for Students

  6. Question for Students

    marilynmom replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    There is no way I would be in nursing school if it didn't pay well. I have a family to support and things cost money (house, braces, food, gas, health care, clothes, aging and sick parents to care...

  7. Do you have to buy a stethoscope?

    marilynmom replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would buy your own. Even if the school buys one for you it's most likely going to be a cheap one you can't hear anything out

  8. hospital jobs

    marilynmom replied to raq74's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Mercy has the Student Flex Team, it pays $10/hr + differentials (eg $12+/hr on weekends). You need to have completed your first semester of nursing school for that. All the hospitals have externship...

    20 days to start passing meds? Wow is all I can

  10. Do you have to take ATI exams?

    marilynmom replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I don't think they are hard. My lowest national percentile was 92% and my highest was 99% (for OB). But I really don't have any idea if they are true predictors of your NCLEX success...I wonder if...

  11. whats your schedule like?

  14. Pregnant and In Nursing School

    marilynmom replied to lakRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Well I don't think this is an easy answer. A lot of it depends on *her* pregnancy...will she have nonstop morning sickness, other complications, etc? Everyone is different when pregnant and it is up...

  15. Male CNA seeking advice from a nurse

    marilynmom replied to manch's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not a nurse but am in nursing school. I got a job as a CNA and HATED it, I felt that I learned nothing (I got the job because I thought it would be really helpful for school when actually it...

  18. Tulsa, OKC, Norman???????????????????????

    marilynmom replied to LuvWounds's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    $19,500 is pretty expsensive for an ADN degree. My BSN isn't even costing that much and has a NCLEX passing rate of 94%. The OKC Platt RN program has only been around since 2005 not 1979. The last...

  19. Tulsa, OKC, Norman???????????????????????

    marilynmom replied to LuvWounds's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Well of course we make less here, the cost of living in OKC compared to Washington DC is beyond cheaper. Most of the RN's I know here are doing pretty darn good! Hmm, I personally wouldn't even...

  20. Why do so many of you hate working med/surg?

    marilynmom replied to jollyjenny's topic in General Nursing

    I think you either love or hate med/surg. Just like any other area. It's not me. I think it takes a very special RN to work in med/surg actually, it isn't for the faint of heart and it isn't for...

  21. Platt?

    marilynmom replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    My current clinical instructor used to be a clinical instructor for Platt and all I can say is I wouldn't waste my money on the OKC Platt. I have heard NOTHING good about that

  24. 6 Alabama kids were on life support with flu

    marilynmom replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this years vaccine is covering what strain is going around. I have had several nursing school friends (all of whom had been vax'ed back on Oct or Nov) get the flu here in the past...

    marilynmom replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing
