  1. New nursing1 student in jan- any advice/ suggestions?

    OKNurse2be replied to spetro's topic in General Students

    No, you don't need a $100 stethoscope. You don't want the cheapest one out there either, but the basic Littman ones are more than adequate. As for books, that varies from program to program but you...

  7. OCCC Nursing Program

    OKNurse2be replied to NT1992's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I am not saying not to take General Chem, just that it's waaaaay more difficult that Principles is. You want to maximize your chances of getting A's too, especially in the sciences.

    OKNurse2be replied to ErikaMarie's topic in General Students
