    Ou tulsa fall class schedule

    mommy.19 replied to bapebbles's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    The first few weeks are pretty crazy, just trying to adjust to the scheduled and unscheduled things that pop up, they're really great at telling you things last minute! I didn't feel like 1st semester...

    I was just laid off

    mommy.19 replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry you're going through this. Many people outside the healthcare field would scoff at the thought that a nurse could get laid off. I sincerely hope that this is the beginning of something...

    Pharmacology Class

    mommy.19 replied to lilcajun's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We lost 4 students out of 16 in our class from pharm. But, then again, we had a "teacher" that came in and read us the powerpoint and left. We also had Lehne, I really liked the book but it is...

    Becoming a nurse for the money...

    mommy.19 replied to Marc86's topic in General Students

    I do have to say I feel there is absolutely nothing wrong with factoring the pay into your career decision. I would be lying if that was not a reason I considered the healthcare field. I do know...

    Intracranial pressure vs. hypovolaemia -- which is first priority???

    mommy.19 replied to davidthenurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree, the issue here is does the pt have enough volume to maintain CPP? If the BP isn't sufficient to produce a MAP of at least 60, then perfusion to the brain is compromised. (CPP=MAP-CVP). It's...

    They spoiled me and now I'm freaking out !

    mommy.19 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Ours are by hand, on paper, no multiple choice and you have three tries to get a 100% or you're out. It's interesting to see how every program is different, but not so nice to see how they threw you...

    mommy.19 replied to NICUplease's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    School Scholarships. SF, SJ, HIllcrest?

    mommy.19 replied to iwillact's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    What area are you interested in? I know at St. Francis, Med/Surg you can expect anywhere from 4-7 pts at one time, in ICU 2 at most. It just depends on the area, and you can definitely call HR at each...

    OU-OCCC Collaborative

    mommy.19 replied to beth001's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    If the OU-OCCC CBSN is anything like the OU-TCC CBSN is, I agree. We began with 21 students and now have 12. Ditto to everything that was said about not being treated fairly and having to fight for...

    Where to buy OU scrubs??

    mommy.19 replied to beth001's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    You can go to the Matthew's bookstore to get them, they have "OU" scrubs at other places but if you don't have the exact color/design as everyone else you're likely to get singled out and questioned...

    mommy.19 replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    We didn't really get to talk to anyone after we applied about getting in. No interviews, no face-face anything. Just GPA and those three little boxes you put text in on your app. Crazy, huh? Well,...

    OU Traditional Nursing Program

    mommy.19 replied to honeydawn75's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    There are people who go in that had a 2.5 GPA. It isn't all about having a 4.0, if that was the case, all the 4.0's would get in and no one else would have a chance. it is a point system like most...
