  1. Things that gross you out..

    OKNurse2be replied to vintage_RN's topic in General Students

    I am not squeamish about much. I admit that the thought of poking people with needles worries me. Not because of the "heebies jeebies" but more the fact that I don't want to cause someone unnecessary...

  2. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Done with exam and home. I think I did okay. At least with this professor we get to know scores pretty fast. I hope I remembered to put all the rights and lefts lol Anyway, I was wondering if anyone...

  3. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Gotta make this quick since I am about to take the stupid fetal pig exam. lol I bought my shoes at the NB store. I bought all my uniform stuff, including stethoscope at the Uniform Shoppe which is on...

  4. Studying

    OKNurse2be replied to ErikaMarie's topic in General Students

    I am in the same boat as you, seeing as how I start nursing school as well next month. As far as what I do to study, it's really simple. Number 1, I make sure to be in class. I take notes too, so...

  5. CPR Certification Question

    OKNurse2be replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students

    I second the advice everyone gave, except for going through Red Cross. If you do go through Red Cross, make sure your school will accept that certification because I know most nursing schools/clinical...

  6. What is the average of a nursing student?

    OKNurse2be replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    I honestly think that can vary from place to place, but if I were to guess purely based on what I personally am seeing, I would say average age of today's nursing student falls somewhere between 25...

  7. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thanks for the tips!!!! I plan on looking at powerpoints all day tomorrow. I have a good grasp on the internal organs, and the muscles.. I think.. but the arteries and veins I am shaky on. I have the...

  8. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yup, I have ****! I love him too. He can be a pain in the behind when it comes to asking questions though. I had him for AP1 too. Was Fetal pig hard? We have the exam on Tuesday. I am so unprepared I...

  9. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I haven't gotten any of the optionals yet. Waiting for my Pell to come in at the book store before I buy anything else, but I do plan on getting the Fundamentals Success book cause I heard it really...

    Holy Crap I can't believe with all the time I spend on AN, I totally missed this thread.. shame on me!! Well, anyway.. congrats to all of you that made it into the program! I am looking forward to...

  11. Anyone attending OCCC's Nursing School?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Orientation is less than 3 weeks ahead. I am taking A&P2 this summer, and this upcoming week is "finals." It has helped keep me busy, but I know I am going to just be counting down days. I got my...

  12. For profit nursing school

    OKNurse2be replied to dialysisnurseLC's topic in General Students

    With For Profit schools, it's really a "buyer beware" situation. I refuse to believe that all the For Profit schools are bad, but still plenty enough are bad, so to give it a bad reputation in...

  13. Misogyny in Nursing

    OKNurse2be replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you! I came over as an Au Pair, and even though that didn't work out, I managed and took a lot of odd jobs and made my own way. Gave my Grandma a hard time, and my Mom some more gray hairs, but...

  14. Misogyny in Nursing

    OKNurse2be replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't see it in all women. Of course I don't. Maybe it's just a hard topic for me to really get across how I really feel. I wasn't born and raised in the USA. I come from Norway, and I was bullied...

  15. Misogyny in Nursing

    OKNurse2be replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In a perfect world, women would all get along perfectly. There would be no backstabbing, cattiness, cliques, jealousy... you name it. Sadly, it's not a perfect world. If there is misogyny among women,...

  16. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    while i can appreciate someone that would try to educate me on something, the way you came across felt like an attack. i am all for learning new things, like new words, so i found the word "misogyny"...

  17. I know this sounds crazy, but......

    OKNurse2be replied to Kat_everdeen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not great at math myself. I particularly dislike algebra, but nursing math is easy. It's the same basic "formula" just plug in the numbers and there ya go. It is also something that gets easier...

  18. car vs. motor scooter

    OKNurse2be replied to lucyc66's topic in General Students

    My husband rides a motorcycle back and forth to work every day, rain or shine, and even sometimes when it snows. It saves us a ton of money in gas. He has a scooter as well, but it's in for repairs at...

  19. Looking for advice/direction

    OKNurse2be replied to kimberlyb891's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, thank you for your service to our country!! Secondly, if you really want to become a nurse, I would try to transfer credits to a nursing school first. It's an individual choice, but why...

  20. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    i don't understand why misogyny is even an issue in reference to what i wrote. i was merely using what i wrote as an example as to what quite often happens in social context where women are in the...

  21. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    my misogyny. hmm had to look that word up, so thanks for teaching me a new word and i doubt that fits since i am in fact a woman and i don't hate women. i am just realistic in what happens when you...

  22. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    I doubt they are sponsored by the brand, however it's probably more a case that they want to keep everyone looking "uniform." Also, if everyone has the same brand there is nobody who can gloat about...

  23. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    Yeah that is one of my things to consider, not solely for the purpose of not loosing my pants, but also because the material of the scrubs is a tad "scratchy." I may go with tighter t-shirts in lieu...

  24. Question about med math classes

    OKNurse2be replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Dimensional analysis is more like 65lbs x 1kg/2.2lbs x 1mg/kg You have ratios and proportions that tell you what your conversion factors are and you use them in your dimensional analysis. Like 1kg/2.2...

  25. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students
