  1. Birth Doulas

    okchug replied to pamela100's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I trained with DONA in 2006 and have loved being a doula. Although, I haven't taken a birth client since starting RN school last year & I miss it. I have always had great experiences with L/D...

    okchug replied to Fdavis's topic in Ob/Gyn

  4. Delivery tables

    okchug replied to Fdavis's topic in Ob/Gyn

    as a doula(hospital only, no homes) and RN student, I have only seen the break away L/D beds...I didn't know there were separate delivery tables. Are they like the beds? Are they flat? Do you transfer...

  5. Is there anything we can do to change our schools policy?

    okchug replied to RN_Mommy_2_3's topic in General Students

    In my program all Exam points (including final) must add up to 74% before any other class points are added. This is the policy for the entire program and individual instructors cannot manipulate what...

    okchug replied to Starkyss's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Frontier has a distance program and you can apply with a non-nursing bachelors & an RN.... Portfolio If your baccalaureate degree is in a discipline other than Nursing you will need to submit a...

  7. Rolling Backpacks

    okchug replied to HisBrownEyedGirl's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got one from Sam's. It's more a business type bag. I like it because it's more square and rolls in all directions. It holds plenty but doesn't take up the whole isle in the classroom. It was around...

  8. Does it bother you to address MDs by their title of Doctor?

    okchug replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting.....during clinicals I observed such "title" issues. Nurses called the docs by their first name at the desk..even looked at bridal mags with a female resident that they all called by her...

  9. How do you take the right classes to qualify you for OSU-OKC, UCO, OU

    okchug replied to OKCstudent's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Every school has their own "point" system so, you really need to focus on one of them. I too had a previous degree with a lower gpa due to my first year in college. I initially looked into OU Acc/BSN...

  10. Career switch to nursing... but are there really no jobs?

    okchug replied to JustMeInDC's topic in Nursing Career

    There are jobs in OK. Low cost of living

  11. What Helped you Survive Care Plans?

    okchug replied to nrenteria's topic in General Students

    Care plans are only hard till you get the hang of it....then they make sense. You are addressing problems, teaching, or health promotion that YOU the nurse can help solve-not the medical...

  12. How Will This Impact the Nursing Profession

    okchug replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    I'm tired of hearing cries of "socialized medicine"! GEEZ....the military has gov run healthcare & it's supposed to be the best. BTW the VA hospital here gives great care and they have the...

  13. Comprehensive 100% Online FNP programs...

    okchug replied to dc_frank's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Frontier requires you to attend "frontier bound" (4 days)at the start of the program and "clinical bound" (8 days) before clinicals. They are both on campus in KY, but other than that it is a distance...

    okchug posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

  16. I have a "weak" stomach.

    okchug replied to JeniLyn's topic in General Students

    oh ha ha I thought I was the only one who can't do feet! except baby feet- love them! Everyone has certain things that make them gag. I can handle blood, barf, poop....but not sputum! oh

  17. Do nurses have an advantage in becoming a doctor?

    okchug replied to jesse_james's topic in General Nursing

    go lurk around on studentdoctor.net you'll soon learn what they think of nursing students. Comparing the two is like cats & dogs or apples & oranges - we are nothing alike. too bad

  18. technician ?s

    okchug replied to okchug's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Thanks sooo much! I am really excited and nervous about the interview. I guess either way (pt contact or no) it will be great experience and i will learn a bunch just by being there. can't wait for...

  19. Is there a difference between BS with major in Nursing and a BSN?

    okchug replied to kaylajane08's topic in General Students

    One of the universities here offers a BS in nursing, not a BSN. Their program is exactly like any other but it is in the College of Math and Science. They don't have a separate College of Nursing....

  20. L&D floor nurse to CNM....Am I ruining my faith in women?

    okchug replied to phillies33's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Just a side note.....in my work as a doula I have worked closely with CNMs and while the midwifery model is different from the medical model, CNMs are not without options. It's not accurate to think...

  21. Oklahoma University's BSN program

    okchug replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Kramer is a good school, too. Really, I haven't heard a bad thing about any of the BSN/ADN programs here. I know how it is to plan years ahead and just be starting out, BUT it can't hurt to have a...

  22. things friends/neighbors have asked you "because you are a nurse"

    okchug replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    My friends call me and I'm just starting nursing school! One of them always refers to me as the "nurse". I correct her every time- don't worry. I never give any advice other than "call your Dr's...

  23. Here is a crazy question

    okchug replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Oklahoma University's BSN program

    okchug replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hey NICU! OU offers application seminars. Try to go-they're informative. It is very competitive to get into the Health Sciences Center first of all, then you've got to get into the nursing program....

  25. Will volunteering help?

    okchug replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    :heartbeat I love it! That's not dorky-it's sweet. The NICU draws people in for sure. Those tiny bitty babies just grab your heart! I wish the very best for you. You'll get there! I thought I'd lost...
