    picurn10 replied to meghanlee's topic in General Nursing

    Don't give up! I felt very discouraged about being about to get into nursing school this time last year. I decided to go the LPN to RN route and I'm loving it! I'm almost halfway through LPN school...

  6. Back rub program

    picurn10 replied to jer053171's topic in General Students

    We have to do 15 back rubs in basic clinical checkoffs. It does feel strange to me for some reason, and I noticed most of the students left it until the last minute. I think it's because its something...

  7. anyone take the NET test?

    picurn10 posted a topic in General Students

    picurn10 replied to Starfish1's topic in General Students

  9. School Grading Scales

    picurn10 replied to lizdctorn2b's topic in General Students

    ours is the same except that anything below 80% is failing It's annoying to have high 90's and several 100% and still be considered a "b"

  10. Which degree do I do?

    picurn10 replied to miseje's topic in General Students

    I also have a degree in psychology. I looked into the accelerated BSN and ADN options. Honestly, as a single mom I felt like I just couldn't swing the pace. They told me it was pretty much impossible...

  11. how to deal with a know-it-all?

    picurn10 posted a topic in General Students

    Yikes! This guy in my class is driving me crazy. I'd normally just steer clear, but we got assigned clinicals together, so I'm stuck. This person drives me crazy with his attitude that he knows...

    picurn10 posted a topic in General Nursing

  14. platt college

    picurn10 replied to calliesue's topic in LPN to RN

  15. platt college

    picurn10 replied to calliesue's topic in LPN to RN

    I'm in OKC. Are you already set on gonig to Platt? I've just heard so many bad things about the program (and we have so many good ones here in OKC) that I just hope you've looked at all your options...

  16. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    picurn10 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Please stop inturrupting lecture to add some story about how such and such family member had said condition. We don't care. You're slowing down my learning process by adding stuff that is irrelavent....

  17. Side rails x 4 and falls

    picurn10 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student and we're taught that rails x4 are considered a restraint and a Dr.'s order is needed for them, but they are teaching us to always leave the pt with rails up x2. We're still at...

  18. Oklahoma City University

    picurn10 replied to Anna716's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I looked into their program a bit, but just couldn't justify the expense in a city where there are so many other options for nursing school. Not too long ago they weren't considered to have a good...

    picurn10 replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

  22. Concern about flu shot

    picurn10 replied to inspire's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a parent who is educated, and also chooses to selectively vaccinate. I personally don't think that it's necessarily one thing in vaccines that leads to autism, or other adverse reactions, but I...

  23. What are the odds?

    picurn10 replied to mom4josh's topic in General Nursing

    I would suggest you read the CDC website about HIV transmission, there is a lot of good info there. HIV once outside the body is a very fragile virus and dies within minutes, it's just when introduce...

  24. This is not my job?!?

    picurn10 replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    wow, as a fellow nursing student, I'm really disappointed in what your instructors obviously aren't teaching you. From day one we've been taught that the pts. feelings, dignity, and respect are top...
