    Intense course load

    Ciale posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm taking Anatomy and Chemistry both next semester while working full-time. I'm by no means a science whiz. Do you guys think this is too much at once? Has anyone else survived this (by survive i...

    Intense course load

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    The more people I ask, the more I'm convinced that taking chem alone would be the best idea. I'm trying to get into OSUOKC but the dang point system is in the 80's now (so I heard) so I was trying to...

    Intense course load

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Horrible at math. Unfortunetly, my school doesn't offer classes in the summer that are very accommodating to someone who works 8-5. Thanks for the advice. If I had excellent study habbits I think I...

    Need Advice

    Ciale replied to rterra3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you really want it, you'll make it happen. That's probably not what you want to hear right now but it's the truth. Like caliotter3 said, you can retake the classes you did poorly in. A lot of...

    online education

    Ciale replied to kevokie's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I honestly can't say for sure...but I used to work in recruitment at a hospital and I never once saw an applicant with a nursing degree obtained from an online college. I'm not saying that we wouldn't...

    concerned about acceptance

    Ciale replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Just get your RN from osu/okc and finish your bsn through uco. All the classes you take at OSU/OKC go into the bsn for uco so it's not like theres any time/money wasted. You can do

    Basic questions

    Ciale posted a topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I'm interested in Neuro ICU but I've heard some mixed opinions about that unit. My friend visited a hospital because her friend had serious brain trauma and while she was there, she said the only...

    Ruptured AVM

    Ciale replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    I would absolutley call the pastor in to talk with them. I'm in the bible-belt here and this is a situation I am anticipating coming across several times as an ICU nurse. I am Christian but by no...

    OSU/OKC Program

    Ciale posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I was wondering what classes those that graduated from this program had completed before getting accepted into the program. I have all the pre-reqs+diet and nutrition therapy completed and I'll be...

    OSU/OKC Program

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Oooh I dunno about "having a mind for science" haha. I think it's just going to take a lot of sacrafice (ie abandon all social life, study like crazy and have zero fun for a semester). I found that...

    OSU/OKC Program

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I hope to enter Spring 2010 as well. I have to take intro Algebra (in the summer) before I can take Chemistry. So I'll probably take Chem and Anatomy in the fall (sounds like murder, right?). I'm just...

    What does it look like?

    Ciale posted a topic in Government, Military

    What does it look like to be an army nurse? I would love a chance to serve my country without having to shoot people. I'm reluctant to talk to a recruiter because I know how aggressive they are and...

    I'm so envious

    Ciale posted a topic in General Students

    Of you guys and gals that don't have to work (or work very little) while going through nursing school. I've been slowly getting through pre-reqs becuase I MUST work a 8-5 everyday. I miss out on study...

    I'm so envious

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    Man. Those words couldn't have come at a better time. I stayed up all last night studying for a test this morning (actually took today off from work to do that) and decided to reward myself with a...

    OSU/OKC Program

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thanks. So I'm assuming you've been accepted into the program? Were you an LPN first? How is your chemistry class? Did you have trouble with the hesi test since you hadn't had chem, micro and physio?...

    What does it look like?

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Government, Military

    That is the philosophy I expect of course. But how likely is it that a nurse would see combat? I know virtually nothing and I suppose that's why it would be a good idea to contact a recruiter but I...

    moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    Ciale replied to whatnext's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Never been to Tulsa. I used to live in Charlotte for a couple years. I miss it so much! People are great here in OKC, don't get me wrong...but Charlotte is so pretty. The trees, the distinctive...

    I'm so envious

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    Hm. I never thought to check around at the hospitals to see if they offered loans in return for a work committment. My school is only during the weekdays. I'll be the one taking out loans too I guess!...

    ER Patients

    Who are the majority of your patients? I sometimes think that it would be fun and exciting to work in the ER but I think I would mostly struggle with it if most of the patients were addicted to drugs,...

    magnet status

    Hm. I didn't know magnet was bs. To acheive the status, there are several different criteria you have to meet --two of which are patient satisfaction and nurse retention rate. I thought patient...

    ER Patients

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for that. I guess I have a tendancy to judge people...ugh, it hurts to even admit it but I think I do. I love people but I think I'm incredibly hard on them and can sometimes get a "holier than...
