    Undershirt for scrubs?

    Personally, I'd rather cover it with makeup than have to wear a mock-turtleneck. They make heavy makeup designed specifically to hide

    Finally, I wanna be a nurse

    What's in the past is in the past...no point in thinking woulda, coulda, shoulda. Let me just say, you are not unique in this respect. In fact, I'd venture to guess this is how A LOT of new grads...
  4. UGH my brain is melting. I've been studying for my anatomy exam like crazy and I still can't wrap my brain around the left bone vs. the right bone. Does anyone have an easy neat tricks to remember the...
  5. Ditto. Our school's NCLEX pass rate is 93% which from what I understand is pretty high compared to the National Average. I think it's a good thing we're held to a higher standard (however much stress...

    OSUOKC scrubs

    How strict are the instructors on your scrubs matching the teal colored scrubs that they sell in the book store? I have Cherokee and Dickies scrubs that are "teal" but they don't EXACTLY match the...

    OSUOKC scrubs

    Good thing I like Halloween so much.
  10. So when I think about looking like a healthcare professional, I always invision the light blue surgery scrubs they wear on Gray's Anatomy, draw-string pants, tucked in unisex scrub top. I think it's a...

    I work at one of those hospitals you listed and I'm in Human Resources. The Recruiters would LOVE to hire new grads...don't get me wrong. But this is a decision from higher up. We're getting...

    UCO RN-BSN program

    I'd also like to see an answer to this. A particular advisor (cant post name here) has been super helpful with answer transcript questions for me. If no one responds to this, you can pm me and I'll...
  15. Nurse - a person formally educated and trained in the care of the sick or infirm. You act like I'm saying it's okay for MAs to DO all the same functions an RN would do. I'm not. I'm merely saying...
  16. In that case, I think MAs should introduce themselves as nurses or nurse assistants. "Hi I'm Sandy...I'll be your Medical Assistant" sounds kind of weird. I think it's all about calling yourself what...
  17. Are LPNs considered nurses or practical nurses? I thought only RNs are referred to as nurses. Hm. I had a Physcian Assistant (new grad at that) refer to herself as a Physcian the other day. That's...

    Can you live a luxury lifestyle as a nurse?

    termination for expired acls

    I'm in HR. We don't fire employees, managers do. Just like we don't hire them, managers do. Now if they call seeking advise on a particular "problem" employee, we will tell them if they have cause to...

    Bad Interview...

    Eh...that's probably not a good thing to say either. While I agree its none of her business, that sounds like you're insulting her ability to conduct an interview. She'd probably take offense to that....

    Online CPR Courses

    Call the Clinical Education department of your hospital and see if they offer online BLS. My hospital does in addition to ACLS...you just have to come in for the skills portion. Our only requirement...
