    Anyone waiting to hear from OSU/OKC for the fall 2010 semester?

    Ciale replied to ornery2athome's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    That sucks! A year ago, you would have been a definite yes. Next semester is probably gonna be in the 90's or something. That's a little discouraging. I wonder if OCCC is easier to get into. With as...

    Anyone waiting to hear from OSU/OKC for the fall 2010 semester?

    Ciale replied to ornery2athome's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yeah, with physio that will make you competitive. The points are obviously determined by who all is applying for that semester so it can vary. I'm hoping this years talent pool wasn't that big! I...

    Ciale replied to ornery2athome's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yup. UUUUUGGGGGHHHHH. I'm not too anxious though because I can almost promise I didn't get it. I only had 76 points and from what I understand, the cutoff is usually around 83 or 84. If I do get...

    Physiology

    Ciale posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel like my school is the only one that makes you take a full semester of Physiology and a full semeter of Anatomy. I see a lot of A&P posts but not just Phsyio posts. Does anyone have an...

    Any one else waiting to be accepted to a nursing program starting fall 2010?

    Ciale replied to ilovezag's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Guster, you should be proud of yourself. Nursing programs are hard to get into anywhere. I'm sure you'll rock TCC's program.

    HESI test questions help for nursing acceptance in program

    Ciale replied to CrazyforBenLinus's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Not really sure why you put others in quotation marks... But anyway, didn't mean to patronize. I was more trying to reassure you that you would do just fine on the test and not to worry. My intention...

    HESI test questions help for nursing acceptance in program

    Ciale replied to CrazyforBenLinus's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The HESI is standardized, right? I'm not the smartest person in the world but I'm not the stupidest either...and that test was very very easy. I got an 87.53 without studying. Since I was only...

    Can anyone walk me through a typical day in the neuro icu? I'm interested in neuro but don't really know what it would look/be like. Even if there isn't a typical day, can you give me an example of...

    Typical Neuro Day

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in Neurological

    Wow, thank you for sharing. This sounds like the most interesting unit to work in. Ever since my dad had a stroke a few years ago, I've been curious about working in this unit. He did/said the...

    am i missing something?

    Ciale replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    Okay, but I doubt you just "floated" through nursing school. The point I was trying to make was not to take school too lightly and if you're questioning how much to study, it's safer to study more...

    is nursing school harming your relationship too?

    Ciale replied to j772's topic in General Students

    Haha. You're right, he doesn't know...but he's about to find out! I broke up with my boyfriend twice last semester...caused me to flunk one test. After that, it was a wake-up call for me. I broke it...

    How many hours of sleep did you get a night when you were in nursing school?

    Ciale replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    8 hours. 11p-7a. My brain shuts down around 10:30 so the last half hour of the night is a real struggle to retain info..unless it's something really interesting. Past 11, it's all jello.

    am i missing something?

    Ciale replied to sophie<3's topic in General Students

    The only reason someone would not study is if they had a firm understanding of concepts. If you remember everything that is said in class and can recite the textbooks word for word, don't study....

    Ciale replied to scndglancee's topic in General Students

    Aaah, yes, I remember feeling that same way at 20 too. Not to discredit your feelings or anything. I was very mature for my age at 20 (and still am today) but I am a completely different person now (4...

    Micro, Chemistry, and AP I (two in one semester)

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

    Everyone's situation is different. For instance, I wouldn't be able to handle that course load because I work full-time. I just think it all depends on what kind of student you are. Do you grasp...

    Things you'd like to say to your fellow classmates

    1. To the pregnant girl in my anatomy class who wants to be a nurse - stop drinking energy drinks...you're hurting the baby! 2. To the girl that is trying to sabatoge everyone - I'm smarter than you...

    Right bone vs. Left bone

    Ciale replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    Help Please!! Should I stay in nursing school?

    Ciale replied to scndglancee's topic in General Students

    Yes, you should stick it out. There are other areas you can go into as a nurse other than direct patient care. Look into Human Resources at a hospital. You could be a nurse recruiter, Clinical...
