  2. is there anyone going to UCO?

    krimicrat replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Good luck getting in to OSU-OKC - it is a great school too. Regarding pre-req's, if you make an advisement appointment, they will let you know exactly what classes you should take. I think there is...

  3. is there anyone going to UCO?

    krimicrat replied to motherofgirls's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thank you! I'm not sure if they post what TEAS score and gpa is required, but I think they will give averages if you ask. I feel very lucky and grateful, that's for sure. To the OP - do you go to...

  5. Anatomy before Chemistry?

    krimicrat replied to ktran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think you will have a problem at all. I am taking Gross Anatomy and Chemistry this semester, and I can't see why you'd need Chemistry before anatomy (this is assuming that Physiology is a...

  6. Specific Heat?! Please help!!!!

    krimicrat replied to Kamdyn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You know everything but the mass in that formula, so it's just basic algebra and it's solved. Solve for M. Another way to do the formula is to rearrange it so that heat = (SH)(grams or mass)(change...

  8. So Frustrated! (Vent)

    krimicrat replied to Hoping2BeStudent2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you could make an appointment with your professor and ask her/him for some tips? Every teacher does it differently, and part of it is learning how they test. We had our first anatomy...

  9. Professors who grade based on 'looks'

    krimicrat replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would bet that professor's giving grades for unethical reasons is very rare. I'm sure it has happened before, because people are not infallable, but I've never seen it in all my years of school....

    krimicrat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. I am so nervous!

    krimicrat replied to krimicrat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Uneasy about cadaver lab!

    krimicrat replied to t0ri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in Anatomy this year, and we have 3 cadavers. I think you will get used to it very quickly. During our first lab, our professor demonstrated proper dissection, and sort of 'introduced' us to...

  13. Do all new nurses get night shift?

    krimicrat replied to sunny1230's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am really hoping to work nights and/or weekends when I graduate! I haven't even gotten in to nursing school yet :) But, being able to work nights and weekends is one of the many things that...

    krimicrat replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Rose State College in Oklahoma has an evening/weekend ADN program, as well as an online ADN program. www.rose.edu. It is a good program, but it is hard to get into. I hope you find what you are...

    krimicrat replied to RNCEN's topic in General Students

    krimicrat replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was unaware that 1) a majority of Americans support socialized medicine and 2) that medicare is a successfully run government program. I wouldn't be too suprised about #1, but doubt that #2 is...
