  1. ATT from Board of Nursing

    I received my ATT via Email, I believe it was about three weeks after transcripts were mailed.
  2. Job market for Okla RNs

    I'm not sure what the job market is right now, but I just graduated with my BSN and had no problem finding a job in the Tulsa area. However, I began the job search and interview process early (I interviewed and was hired 5 months before graduation!)...
  3. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    I graduate July 31st at 7pm from my accelerated BSN program! If I counted correctly that's only 48 days....
  4. Advice PLEASE!! Starting school this fall!!

    My suggestions for the first day of class: 1.) A spacious planner 2.) A spiral notebook 3.) Plenty of writing supplies:-) 4.) A rolling backpack S.) A folder for paperwork
  5. ICU experiences: how do you know when to worry...

    I am going to be a new grad RN in the ICU and I worry about the same thing!
  6. Externship

    I did an externship about half-way through my ABSN program and it was an invaluable experience. Although I did not necessarily like the specialty I had chosen to do my externship in, I got to learn more about what its like to carry a full patient loa...
  7. What is your graduation gift?

    I plan on buying myself a Coach wallet and purse and taking my family and boyfriend on a vacation. Don't know where yet, I just want it to be warm, sunny and far far away from school....
  8. Nursing Student Burn out

    Yes, and I am only in my second semester with about 9 months left til graduation.
  9. Loving Clinicals?

    To me, this is what makes nursing awesome. The nurses (and students:-)) are just as different as the many different specialties. I don't think that every nurse (or student) likes every type of nursing possible. More power to them if they do:-). I...
  10. 13 Books for first semester of NS

    My school offered a book bundle which cost me $1100. This included the e-version of the books, which has been invaluable. Instead of lugging around 80 pounds of books (2 boxes of books for a total of 80 lbs, can you believe that??), I just pack up ...
  11. Anyone starting or returning to nursing school this fall?

    I just finished my first semester of the ABSN program at OU-Tulsa. I have 21 days off until fall semester and it's awesome! I am trying to do as little as possible...and a lot of sleeping:-) Congratulations and good luck to my fellow students!
  12. I will not quit

    That is so awesome! Congrats:up::)!!!!
  13. How far into NS do you begin Clinicals?

    I'm in an ABSN program and we started clinicals in our 5th week of the program. We had already completed the lecture/lab component of Clinical I. The first two weeks of clinicals were two 8 hour days and the last two weeks are three 8 hour days, al...
  14. Hillcrest in Tulsa

    I love living in Tulsa! I've lived here all of my life, though, so I am pretty biased:-). Its big, but not too big if that makes any sense. I feel its a good town to raise a family in (although I don't have children yet), but its probably not a gre...
  15. Am I weird?

    I don't think you are weird at all! You have been lucky enough to find a study habit that works well for you, so I say stick with it. And you get to relax at the same time, therefore "killing two birds with one stone" :nuke:. I start my absn program...
  16. How are you spending the summer?

    I am spending my summer as a first semester absn nursing student, we start June 2nd! I am taking some relaxation time for myself before classes begin, though. My last day at work is May 15th, so that means two weeks of doing (mostly) whatever I want...
  17. Help me find CNA training?

    I may be mistaken, but I believe OSU-Tulsa offers some sort of CNA training as well.
  18. OU Tulsa BSN TCC Collaborative Program

    Congrats on getting in!:)
  19. "Too smart" to be a nurse

    Amen to that!:cheers:
  20. "Too smart" to be a nurse

    "Just tell them that if they think you are so smart, they should know you are smart enough to know what you want to do with the rest of your life....but you appreciate the compliment! " Amen to that!:cheers:
  21. What do you say to that?

    That question frustrates me to no end. I agree with telling them that you are doing what you feel in your heart will make you happiest, and only you can make that decision. That's what I tell people who ask me the same question after I tell them I am...
  22. loving nursing school

    I hope I like nursing school as much as you do! Good luck:-)
  23. Why did you pick the nursing school you did?

    1.) Since I already have a BS in Psychology, my number one reason for choosing my school was that they offered an accelerated BSN program. I chose BSN vs. ADN because I am considering getting my msn or becoming a np someday. Since I have already bee...
