   Buster70 replied to Buster70's topic in Oklahoma

   Hey all.... Found this old thread of mine and thought I would update it to report my status. I applied for the RSU program this spring, but didn't make it in. I was told that I missed getting in by 1 grade. I made a B in Dosage Calc, only by 1.5 poi...

   Buster70 replied to LJTulsa's topic in Oklahoma

   Read the reply. I agree with you totally, that would leave a bad taste in my mouth as well. Just remember a few things: 1. You're just another number to ANY school...and its all about the money to them. The more money they can get, the better off the...

5. Prospective nursing student.... outlook for RN jobs???

   Buster70 replied to LJTulsa's topic in Oklahoma

   I'm at RSU in Claremore. Their entrance requirements weren't as extensive as TCC or OU. Since this is my second degree, I learned how to weed through all the bs and just jump through their hoops to get what I want. I've taken all of the pre-reqs that...

   I'm also a returning bachelor's-holding student going for my nursing degree here in Tulsa. Honestly, I wouldn't worry about it too much. By the time we graduate in 2+ years things will have changed anyway. Look at it this way...there will always be n...

   Buster70 replied to Buster70's topic in Pre-Nursing

   thanks for the reply....let me add a little extra to the scenario. We own our own business as well. We have a screenprinting business (shirts, promotional items, etc), so my wife spends our evenings and free time working on that. So, the extra hours ...

    Buster70 replied to youngandnursing's topic in Oklahoma

    I'm completing my pre-reqs for the nursing program there at TCC and I've heard the same thing from a couple friends IN the bridge program already! They treat them like crap! One friend of mine, an LPN for 5 years and made straight A's all through sch...

    I took my online class at Tulsa Community College. They use Blackboard, which is an online student / class resource so you can have a class email, discussion boards, etc. The instructor posts notes, discussion forums, exams, quizzes, paper assigments...

    It went GREAT! Ended up with an A for Biology and a B for my online Psychology class (one test killed my A). I'm looking into the program at RSU. Fewer pre-requisites to get in. Heard its a good program.

    yes, i've heard that you can sit for the LPN exam after the first year of nursing school. Although, I'm sure there would be some study time required for the NCLEX.
