  1. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    I tried on a few different sizes. I have to wear a tall, but in a medium which technically fit my waist, they were tight over the buttocks and my hips. The large was a tiny tad loose in the waist, but...

  2. Uncomfortable waistline

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, I know they do uniform checks at my school and other students ahead of me say they are strict about the brand. I am kind of nervous about sticking myself out there as being...

  3. Why are nursing students so completely disrepected?

    OKNurse2be replied to agent's topic in General Students

    Since R E S P E C T is never a new or old issue, I will put my two cents in. In my life, I try to treat others, no matter who it is, with the same courtesy and respect that I would like to be treated...

  4. "Loosing" my license

    OKNurse2be replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I may be naive, seeing as how I am just beginning my nursing journey, but I kind of see RN license (or LPN license for that matter) kind of like a driving license. One follows the rules of the road,...

  5. Am I asking for too much

    OKNurse2be replied to mvm2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I didn't mean to offend you in any way. I am so sorry that happened to her. It's very sad to see people that are in LTC fall through the cracks due to under-staffing, and sometimes just pure...

  6. Obamacare and Nursing.. what do you think?

    OKNurse2be replied to OKNurse2be's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's not socialistic in the purest form, but government is to a certain extent taking over by mandating that everyone carries health insurance. It's also got the general idea in there that everyone...

  7. Am I asking for too much

    OKNurse2be replied to mvm2's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am not a nurse yet, but I did have a family member in LTC for a long time, and I did see the working conditions for the nurses as well as how the patients were treated. I agree with you that it...

  8. A&P2 Micro & Nutrition if taken together will I survive? /

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

    Chem 2 was not a pre-requisite for me. A&P and Chem together should be doable, just be prepared to study a lot. Doing Micro, A&P2 and Nutrition together would also be doable, but again.. be...

  9. Fainting... so dramatic

    OKNurse2be replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    This incident didn't happen in a clinical setting, but rather in the check out lane at Target where I was working as a cashier a few years ago. As the lady was unloading her groceries, I noticed she...

  10. Orientation(s)?

    OKNurse2be replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    My orientation is Aug 10th and it is ALL Day, from 9 am to about 5:30pm (I am figuring they factored in a break for lunch too). We will be filling out all the enrollment paperwork, signing forms,...

  11. Summer term students

    OKNurse2be replied to Jack245's topic in General Students

    I am not taking nursing classes, but I am taking A&P2, and even though I love that class and it's my ONLY class, I am ready for a break. I know once Aug 20th rolls along I have to hit the ground...

  12. Does anyone have experience with RN-BSN programs, specifically OU?

    OKNurse2be posted a topic in General Students

    I haven't started my ADN program yet, but I am big on planning ahead and seeing what is out there so that I can make educated decisions for myself. I live in Oklahoma, and I am currently accepted into...

  13. What is your dream nursing career

    OKNurse2be replied to Tinkx RN's topic in General Students

    My ultimate dream is to become a CNM. However, that being said, I am open to wherever God leads. I might find that I love something else once I get to clinicals, and also once I graduate I will have...

  14. College too easy for it's own good?

    OKNurse2be replied to tothepointeLVN's topic in General Students

    Since I am currently in college, I will weigh in on this. I am attending a community college in OK, and although I will say that college is challenging, much of the challenge is not with the...

  15. How far do you drive for nursing school?

    OKNurse2be replied to %63theend's topic in General Students

    No wonder your nickname is TheCommuter! I go to school in Oklahoma too, and I am wondering if you go to my school. If you live in N TX, close to the OK border, it is certainly possible. :) My drive...

  16. Is there really a big advantage to being full time vs. PRN?

    OKNurse2be replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, I see.. thank you so much! FT is what I really would want

  17. Is there really a big advantage to being full time vs. PRN?

    OKNurse2be replied to Deetail's topic in General Nursing

    Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I am a nursing student so I was wondering if PRN would be worth doing for the sole purpose of getting experience? I am going into the field with minimal work...

  18. Dietary policy- vent

    OKNurse2be replied to trauma_lama's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can totally understand both sides here. The pt wants what they want to eat; what is going to taste good to them and maybe to some extent a sense of something familiar to them away from the comforts...

  19. Working to become more competitive - advice needed

    OKNurse2be replied to Alana R.'s topic in General Students

    I would stick with the teaching job personally. I am not sure how much the "detox Tech" job would benefit you in the long run, and it's better to stay with something that you enjoy than be miserable...

  20. What should you review over the summer going into a nursing program?

    OKNurse2be replied to PostLikeHakeem's topic in General Students

    I would relax as much as possible, but brushing up on A&P is not a bad idea and getting the NCLEX book ( I got the Saunders one ) are both going to help you. The type of questions that are asked...

  21. Would you rather? An Application Process Discussion

    OKNurse2be replied to 2BRN123's topic in General Students

    My school is based on Achievement points and the max number of points is 24. For instance, having a prior degree is worth points, and GPA matters in the sense of 3.75+ gives 3 points, 3.5-3.74 gives 2...

  22. Nursing student afraid of urinary catheters!

    OKNurse2be replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    There are skills that I will have to master that give me trepidation right now. Mine is currently inserting IV's or more like poking anything sharp at a pt. However, I tell myself that these are...

  23. What do you do?

    OKNurse2be posted a topic in General Students

    I have a question for the mom's out there.... what do you do when you are in nursing school and one of your kids end up sick (Fever + +)? How do you handle it in regards to school. Do you skip class...

  24. Anatomy and Physiology....HELP!

    OKNurse2be replied to Mkr2012's topic in General Students

    I think you can do it. It will take a lot of time commitment, but it's doable. Just be prepared to spend A LOT of time studying, and memorizing. A&P is part memorizing and part understanding. You...

  25. Is a laptop handy in nursing school?

    OKNurse2be replied to Cristina417's topic in General Students

    I think it depends on your learning style. Up until now, I have printed out the powerpoints, and then just highlighted the important stuff and taken notes on the paper under the slides. It works for...
