  1. Pretty isn't always better. My company closed down after over 50 years. It was a old building. Most of the employees had worked there for over 20 years. However yes it was a nursing home that had problems at times. My new job was a brand new nur...

  5. Can stupid people pass nursing school?

    Yes you can do it. This nurse is dumber than dirt. I was dismissed twice from nursing school. For skills checkoff one time, and missing one on the dreaded math exam. Yes some of the instructors were mean to me, in fact it was so bad I should hav...
  6. Who wears a nursing cap?

    I always wear my whites and cap during nurses week. The older folks love it.
  7. Are all nursing homes the same?

    My nursing home has the same issues with call ins. As a nurse it drives me crazy. It just seems to me that young people just don't have any kind of work ethic. The sad thing is the residents are the ones that suffer. I just don't understand how m...
  8. Wait a minute. You forgot the new admit. paperwork paperwork
  9. Failed Lab today...

    Don't give up your dream. You can do this. Or find another program.
  10. I regret stepping foot in my first nursing school. It was awful and I was dumb enough to not realize that it was all about how much money they can make off students and then find ways to dismiss them after being in the program until time to graduate...
  11. Cameras

    We have them. But wish they would put them on the med carts and in the med room to catch the nurses that steal meds.
  12. Morbidly obese and skin care

    I am at a loss. One of my residents skin keeps breaking down. Under her belly roll, buttocks, arms. Could someone give advice on what to put under the belly when the skin starts bleeding. I have tried powder, selan cream and then putting a sheet ...
  13. should i stay or should i go

    You can do this. Hang in there. You sound like the typical nursing student to me. The nerves go with it. You can do this and don't quit. Good luck.
  14. Morbidly obese and skin care

    Thanks all. I really don't think it's yeast. But there is an odor. The crack of the fold gets really red, then sometimes bleeds. She has had a blister pop up and took a week then it went away with antibiotic and dressing. The other things look l...
  15. You will take A&P at the beginning of the program. It is basic but no cake walk. When you go on for your RN you will have to take A&P 1&2. College level. Kiamichi is like the allied health A&P they offer at NCTC but I didn't think...
  16. I attended Kiamichi in Durant. It was a wonderful experience for me. The instructors are greatl. Also I attended NCTC in Gainesville twice. It was a nightmare. I learned more at Kiamichi during my clinicals than doing Clinicals at a big hospital...
  17. How was Nurses Week celebrated at your Facility

    We dressed up in white, some wore there caps, we even order new caps for the young nurses that never got one. The facility gave up a little bucket with candy and a Happy nurses week sign to hang up. It has been a fun week. We plan to wear our wh...
  18. NCTC, Corinth Texas LVN 1st semester

    If you can take the A&P Allied before the program. You will then get Fridays off through most of the program. Believe me you will be so glad. They do not require the 1&2 A&p . But if you take the 1 them the have to take the 2 also. ...
  19. Okla Bon Problems

    I sent paperwork to Obn for my licensure verification Dec, 15. They lost my money, sent more. Money found. Now they say they sent my verification to Texas. Texas says they never got it. They asked me Friday to call Okla and have them fax it. I ...
  20. Okla Bon Problems

    You have got to be kidding. It makes me curious as to what kind of people they have working there. Well it looks like I am making the drive to OKC Monday morning. I hope the weather isn't bad. Thanks anyway.
  21. Testing out?!

    Yes u can work both. You will have to endorse to Texas. Texas will give you a temp license and then you can get your permanent one. Just get your paperwork in as soon as they give you the temp one. They take forever to process it all. Good luck.
  22. Testing out?!

    Yes if you are in Texas you can go to test out in Oklahoma I think. A friend of mine did it.
  23. Oklahoma to Texas endorsement

    Thanks. I spoke with Obn today and they have forwarded my paperwork to Texas. So hopefully it won't be long. Of course I couldn't reach Texas as there phone is always busy. Ha ha. As for my Okla education it was great and would recommend my sch...
  24. Oklahoma to Texas endorsement

    Has anyone else had problems with Oklahoma Bon getting the paper work done to send to Texas Bon for endorsement? It seems they lost my money the first time that I sent it. So eighty dollars later and still no license in Texas I am at a loss as to w...
