  1. OCCC nursing school

    I've heard good things from Ms. ******. She said it's very competative, but an awesome program with awesome results. I'm looking forward to applying this time next year (sigh).
  2. Need advice choosing where to take RN pre-requ. courses OKC Area

    Rose - it's a good school and close to you. Warning. If you take Micro - TAKE MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY FIRST! It will greatly improve your chances of passing! I wish someone would have told me that first :-)
  3. OCCC Spring 2011 hopefulls!!!!!

    Hello, I am taking A&P II in the spring - on a Saturday, can anyone share with me what to expect? Tips on the class, things to look out for, how the tests are arranged (Scantron, mult. choice, fill in the blank, etc) and maybe some notes? I'm als...
  4. Langston University

    The website is horrible, yes, but overall, the school has improved tremendously since they have their new president, who is a woman. The nursing program has always been competative, but I do know a few people who have quit out of frustration from oth...
  5. Rose State Nursing Program

    Wondering if anyone is starting in the fall? What was your GPA and Preference Points? Is there an alternate/wait list and how fast is it run through? I have one class - Micro, and I can apply. I'm cutting things really close, particularly with GPA v...

  10. What's so bad about Midwest City Regional Hospital?

    I thinkit's idiotic to say things like "Stay away, but I can't tell you why"...it's equivalent to saying "I have a secret, but I can't tell you" SO CHILDISH! How about say nothing at all!?!?

  13. BSN? ABSN? RN? Confused as to what I need, please help

    I didn't intend to imply that if that is what you thought. I totally understand, having a degree in Counseling. I also know that there are accelerated programs here that will take you and your NON-NURSING/NON-SCIENCE degrees, provided you take the co...
  14. I am sure Im wrong

    Speaking of Cali - did the nurses go on strike like they threatened?
  15. BSN? ABSN? RN? Confused as to what I need, please help

    Seems like to get a masters in nursing, you would need a BSN. Since you already have a Bachelors, you would look to apply to an accelerated program. Then, again, I guess it would depend based on where you are applying, and how much or how little you ...

    I don't know if it would be worth it, but have you thought about maybe having them altered?
  17. Any tips on what to study BEFORE entering A&P1?

    Yes, the bones and muscles (all of them), and the systems (integumentary, nervous, etc) their functions and the organs they entail. The types of cells (blood, nerve, squamous, etc..., and be able to identify them on a slide there's so much to know, ...

    We stay in a progressive, black populated, neighborhood, near Bricktown. My husband rides his bike to the YMCA to work out, I can walk to work (VA Hospital). There is a high school and elementary school in our area, and we're close to main highways. ...
  19. Ou Absn

    I'm not in that program, btu considered gunning toward it, until I had a fiew nurses I work with say that that program is NOT for people who are looking to get their hands dirty. In other words, they girls that come out of there are too 'cutesy' for ...

  21. Job market for Okla RNs

    There's alwasy the government. They prioritize and shift hospital funds for their nurse hires. The only thing - they take forever to get back to you. Good Luck!
  22. My heart goes out to you. I have 2 kids and a husband, and mom who are not very supportive when it comes down to it. Nothing beats a failure but to try There seems to be plenty of programs that have night/weekend and on-line options, with clinical...
  23. moving from Charlotte, NC to Tulsa, OK?

    my husband is from Tulsa. the ONLY WAY we'd move up there is if he had a 6 fugure salary, I could be a home mom, the earth was flat and pigs were flying and it all happened at the same time. One things for sure, you will stay employed as a nurse in T...
  24. OCU Kramer nursing

    I noticed that their administrative board is not very diverse, which says a lot from my perspective. Lack of diveristy often results in one-sidedness and unfairness. And yes, they may have a high pass rate, but what it takes to look pretty isn't alwa...
  25. If you barely pass A&P, should you continue with nursing?

    I'm hustling my butt off in my anatomy, and I know I'm learning, but my test scores don't say so. I know I am going ot have to take my class over again, and I' not above that. I don't intend on giving up, but rather trying a little bit harder. At lea...
