  1. Your desired specialty

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yay for teaching! I'm just getting started and hoping for a good med-surg new grad residency, but psych, home health, and hospice have all topped my list at some point. Also oncology and the cardiac...

  2. Time to call a duck a duck?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Paganoid, I agree--there are many kinds of nurses and the OP seems to forget we don't all work in hospitals as floor nurses. Leading a team as a hospice or home health nurse, for example, or a public...

  3. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    You corrected your misspelling of "and" but note: it's "punctuate," not

  4. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I didn't mean to start something about PAs, I'm sure nurses have plenty to say about good and bad experiences with them. The main thing for me was that I believe he represented himself as a...

  5. Student Loan Reform

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Triquee and Elkpark, I would not have the patience to keep up with this debate the way you do, so I really appreciate the time you have taken to consistently post such well-reasoned and...

  6. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    One more story--I was treated by a rude and arrogant physician's assistant at an urgent care, it seemed to me he had introduced himself, and been introduced, as "Dr. so-and-so." My husband noticed his...

  7. Is it legal to call yourself "Nurse" when you in fact are not?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to LoveMyDaughters's topic in General Nursing

    Um, WHERE do you get your completely false information that anyone can practice as a psychologist? PLEASE don't say things like this when you have no idea what you're talking about! "Psychologist is a...

  8. So Many Students! Will Shortage Now End?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to PacoUSA's topic in General Students

    Okay, I think you missed the main point that was being made. Of COURSE many new grad nurses are having a hard time getting jobs right now! I don't think ANYONE is arguing that it's easy. But the...

  9. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Go for it! In our case we were told that if we weren't accepted we would automatically be considered for the next cohort, without having to apply or pay application fees again, so there was no risk....

  10. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yes, we are busy! But so far I'm having fun. I think they just do a criminal background check. Credit and bankruptcy would come into play in getting private loans; maybe not the Stafford

  11. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got a call from Ace Uniforms sometime after the open house, saying she had forgotten to have everybody order the nametag and ID thing (maybe she called it a badge reel?) and that she was calling...

  12. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I got my nametag and the clip thing for ID with my uniform from ACE, but no photo/student ID

  13. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    At orientation they gave us a single sheet of paper that says "Campus Network Access Information" at the top. This has your initial username and password. Go to http://www.ouhsc.edu and click on the...

  14. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hope you can get it sorted out

  15. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Have you checked your OUHSC email? That's where I got the Angel emails. You might be able to get into Angel by going to the site and using your OUHSC username as both your username and password for...

  16. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Does anybody have the student laboratory manual for Health Assessment? I ordered the book package and I don't think I have it, but I see on the syllabus that it's required and I got a message that I...

  17. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, the shoes look pretty dorky...especially the Cherokee Scrub Stars I bought! And they make the pants bunch up... I do like the drawstring waist -- my pants look huge at first but not so bad...

  18. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You should probably confirm with someone with the program, but for the classes I was still completing I printed an unofficial transcript (showing "in progress") from one school's web program and a...

  19. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Regarding the retention rate of the first cohort, they told us at orientation today that there were only 22 students when it started, 2 failed out, and I think 3 more withdrew or are held back with...

  20. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, that's the other thing -- a lot depends on what kind of learner you are. I have a hard time paying attention in live classes. I took microbio online last semester and some things were...

  21. University of Oklahoma-Accelerated BSN Program

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I talked to National and considered it but I read in another discussion board on this site that the National students don't get much clinical time and are underprepared on the floor. I'm sure there...

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to nicole15's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I picked mine up at their store downtown, but they are bringing them to orientation -- on the 8th I think. I just couldn't wait to try them

  23. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I didn't misquote you, I quoted you. :wink2: And Romans didn't admit any mistakes; as I recall he said he had apologized without meaning it.

  24. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    I hope you don't feel that way about your atheist patients! Or your Muslim patients, or your Jewish patients... What about the suicide bombers who are living by their moral code? The Catholic...

  25. Atheists? How do you deal with religious people?

    SanDiegoScrubs2010 replied to CalicoKitty's topic in General Students

    Patients and nurses often don't have that option, hence the
