  1. Microbiology-Spring 2008

    okchug replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yeah- my prof is a little boring but okay. Others in the class must have hated her because they never showed up for lab which is right after lecture. I just want to get it over with before I start...

  2. Waiting for admission or lack of?

    okchug replied to OrlandoFLNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yep-i'm waiting too. I've applied to an ASN program at a local (OKC) CC. the app deadline isn't until March, and the counselor said the acceptance letters don't go out until MAY! I've got a long wait....

  3. do you HAVE to assist with circs?

    okchug replied to pittnurse08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Swampcat- I understand...I just think that for some people, their opposition stems from the pain inflicted on the child as well as the removal of healthy tissue. So the instance of an older child...

  4. do you HAVE to assist with circs?

    okchug replied to pittnurse08's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's not fair, a 10 year old cannot be compared with a newborn. the only nurse to be assisting in the circ of a 10yo would be an OR nurse. It would be a surgery under general anesthesia-not a...

  5. green poop

    okchug replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Pediatric

    Both my kiddos have pooped bright green after snowcones, birthday cake, etc. BUT the last time my son went green it was soft and repetitive. He ended up having Rotavirus. If the green poo continues...

  6. I changed my mind about becomin a Nurse...

    okchug replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    Try to gain experience in either field before making a big decision. Every job has it's yucky bits, burned out gripey people, and impossible demands. Either field, nursing or teaching, takes a real...

  7. Funny Names for Nurses

    okchug replied to randomnamees's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    okchug replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Very interesting thread.....I have been dreaming of the day I go to work as RN so we can finally pay off the huge debt we have accrued from medical expenses, income tax, student loans, etc--none of...

  9. Is it better to go straight to a BS nursing program or AA first?

    okchug replied to autumn_sky's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm confused- you said that you are a junior at a university, and you will finish your nursing pre-reqs in time to graduate. What is your current major? Are you not already in nursing? Then you asked...

  10. Microbiology-Spring 2008

    okchug replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just received my book--ordered an international version (softcover) thru abebooks.com. It is exactly the same inside with high quality paper and all color illustrations, photos, etc. I love it! the...

  11. Where does your hospital complete the first bath

    okchug replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just wanted to say how impressed I am with some of these posts.....not regarding baths but how much emphasis is put on bonding. "baby usually travels to mom's room on her chest"- wow! & to...

  12. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    okchug replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I realize there may be some ADN programs that are still 2 years long but.....all of them around here(OKla) are much longer. It has become so competitive(300 apps for 70 spots) that you HAVE to finish...

  13. Dansko appropriate shoe for plus-size?

    okchug replied to DinAZ's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the link to the other style. I have only tried the professional. This other one looks alot more comfortable! Maybe I need to try them again?-though I do love my Quarks, but it would be nice...

  14. Dansko appropriate shoe for plus-size?

    okchug replied to DinAZ's topic in General Nursing

    I also have wide feet and sensitive heels. I didn't like the Dansko because they were very stiff and the heels were hard and too high for me. I love my Quarks! they are soft but supportive and don't...

  15. Options for midwifery - NOT CNM?

    okchug replied to waterfall99's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am not a midwife but as a doula I work with them (both CNM and lay). Be sure to check very CAREFULLY what your home state requires. In Oklahoma lay midwives are allowed to practice. We have no...

  16. What is with me?? Do I give up?

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

    I'm sorry to hear about your hardship. I understand. After I lost my mom (she was 54) I was grieving for a long time and felt out of control. At the same time my hubby was clinically depressed and no...

  17. Nurse partner ot OU Medical Center

    okchug replied to LV2BME's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I have a few friends that are nurse partners and they love it. They work side by side with one nurse. It is great if you need flexibility in your schedule. It's not great for someone who needs regular...

  18. "Don't waste your time getting your BSN..."

    okchug replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Like many things in life this depends on your individual situation. For example, I have a previous non-nursing BS degree, a part time job, two school aged kids, and a low GPA from my early years. I...
