  1. Will volunteering help?

    okchug replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Sorry NICUplease....i put another name on my post I had responded to MELL the other day regarding "Cuddler" program, so I got mixed up :icon_roll BTW I've had a couple of friends work as nurse...

  2. "Old" vs. "New" Midwifery Books

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

    Sorry to offend anyone by using the term "lay" but not all homebirth midwives are Certified Professional Midwives. We have some that use the designation CM, or DEM. I just used it to refer to...

  3. "Old" vs. "New" Midwifery Books

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

    I agree totally- in my work as a doula I try to help the mom have the experience she wants/needs in whatever environment. I know some that are so one-sided for homebirth that they can't accept any...

  4. OB-GYN surgery center.

    okchug replied to jessica456's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the many points brought up by others. If it is a surgery center that does terminations as well as other womens health services, then it might be ok. BUT if it is only an abortion clinic...

  5. Trying to get into school, but have bad grades from before

    okchug replied to dylansmommy's topic in Nursing Career

    I could not start at "zero". I was required to list ALL previous schools attended, even one where I dropped a class before ever attending. I was told that if a search brought up a school that I hadn't...

  7. Will volunteering help?

    okchug replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Mellymell- good luck @ the interview! I'm glad you found out about the cuddle program. I had mentioned it to a couple of friends the work in hem/onc at childrens, but they hadn't gotten back with me....

  8. A & P 1- online or classroom?

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

    Cool! @home lab! Yea, I'd probably have missed the models too. Time management is key with online classes. You can't let things stack up. Good

  9. A & P 1- online or classroom?

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

    I have taken quite a few pre-reqs online and like the flexibility. But as far as A&P, I see that only one person had a "live person" lab, what about others? I ask because none of the nursing...

  10. Anyone else ....OCCC?

    okchug replied to okchug's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    We have to wear Cherokee Workwear in NAVY. Tan is not really exciting but it's better than some striped apron and white pants! My friend in another program actually has to wear a blue/white striped...

  11. Trying to get into school, but have bad grades from before

    okchug replied to dylansmommy's topic in Nursing Career

    I know exactly how you feel! I am also haunted by a low GPA. I went to college right out of HS and got my BS, but graduated with a 2.6 GPA. That was 1992! When I started looking to go back for...

  12. Anyone else ....OCCC?

    okchug replied to okchug's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Great to hear from a few OKIES! Rxtech- good luck for Spring 09! By then I'll be able to all about NP1- good, bad, & ugly! April&em--Good Luck with the LPN! I had 19 pts but my friends...

  13. Did You Settle for Nursing?

    okchug replied to sarahrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry- just had a weird thought.....with all these nurse/dr threads popping up maybe the med-students over at SDN are bored and they're just messing with us!? HAHAHA just kidding. Some of my best...

  14. Did You Settle for Nursing?

    okchug replied to sarahrn2be's topic in General Nursing

    The OP was proud enough to put RN in her "name", but is undecided as to major and feels like nursing would be settling. As in "going all the way", it's the attitude and implications that set everyone...

  15. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    okchug replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, those who have questions about going from nursing to medicine...RN to MD/DO, should go to studentdoctor.net There you will find actual people who have gone that route, opinions on nursing...

  16. Are Nurse Midwives Leaving Your Area?

    okchug replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if the upgrade has anything to do with it. Our CNMs are at the teaching hospital which has a large level 1 trauma center. They are the only CNM / hospital group around and are very

  17. Are Nurse Midwives Leaving Your Area?

    okchug replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    YES! They will do

  18. Are Nurse Midwives Leaving Your Area?

    okchug replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Are you referring to The Cottage? Yes that was sad. And more recently-Dec 2006-the Birthwise center in Enid closed. It was a lovely place, and people traveled long distances to go there. The midwife...

  19. opinions about homebirthing

    okchug replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't mean to imply that everyone who doesn't homebirth is afraid......we all have different needs & wishes for our own experience. I have just worked with those that would benefit from that...

  20. opinions about homebirthing

    okchug replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Regardless of the "set up" of the birth center- because we used to have one called The Cottage which was essentially a house-some feel more at ease at the midwife's house/BC. I have worked with women...

  21. opinions about homebirthing

    okchug replied to momma/babyrn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would really love to see options of any kind! In OK you either go to the hospital or stay home. And as much as I love homebirths, some of my clients would benefit from the third option, the birthing...

  22. Newly Admitted Nursing Student - Is there no hope??

    okchug replied to SanDiegoGirl's topic in General Nursing

    OH- I thought I had found a loophole, sorry. It is interesting that you mention titers being proof ... .. I had the MMR only two years ago and now I needed records of having 2 MMRs or 1 shot + titer....

  23. I have a masters!

    okchug replied to words747's topic in General Nursing

    i could have done a bsn in the same amount of time as the adn but for me it was a question of financing. i cannot qualify for grants or loans because i used them for my first degree, and they won't...

  24. Newly Admitted Nursing Student - Is there no hope??

    okchug replied to SanDiegoGirl's topic in General Nursing

    all posts have been very interesting and informative! ....my school requires EITHER record of vaccine OR positive titer, so my question is....does the OP have to have a titer if she has record of...

  25. Have non-nursing AA degree, now what?

    okchug replied to raefactor's topic in General Nursing

    I did not realize the difference in us/can. Thanks-it makes more sense. I do have students in my classes that have just graduated high school, they're 18/19 but took college courses during jr& sr...
