    I suck as a cna, will I have a hard time at nursing school?

    juliaann replied to teamojonj's topic in General Students

    To be honest, I didn't really like or think I was particularly good at being a CNA, but I don't at all doubt my ability to be a nurse. I'm loving nursing school and clinicals....sure it's great to...

    http://nursing.ouhsc.edu/Prospective_Students/ Go there, and then in the column on the right under counselor links there are admission stats for 2010 and 2009. 2011 should be posted soon. That way...

    Just got a job but not happy with it... what to do?

    juliaann replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in General Nursing

    I totally know how you feel! I was a CNA at a hospital for two years. Then I got promoted to a sweet cardiology job (EKGs, Stress Lab, Code Team, paperwork for the cardiologists) at the same hosptial....

    Tulsa Community College CNA Program

    juliaann replied to Victory2013's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I did my CNA at TCC also. I did a 4 or 5 week summer online blended class the summer of 2009. It was a breeze. Our clinical sites were owasso baptist village and ambassador manor. Half the class went...

    juliaann replied to Teish's topic in General Students

    LOL. I've been in Oklahoma for 4 years now and have never seen a tornado. I HAVE seen them, though, when I lived in Nebraska when I was getting my first degree and Alabama when I was in high...

    California Student looking for an affordable accelerated BSN program

    juliaann replied to Teish's topic in General Students

    I think this really is depending on your region. I'm going to a public school with an affordable accelerated BSN program and half of my class (our class is 32 students total, 400+ applicants) already...

    California Student looking for an affordable accelerated BSN program

    juliaann replied to Teish's topic in General Students

    My ABSN is ~ $16,000 for tuition and fees. Books are about $2,000, and then living expenses are whatever you choose (I took $20,000 in loans for my entire program, although I do have my husband's...

    Very small nursing schools?

    juliaann replied to TPtogo's topic in General Students

    My class is 32 students. I love the small size, we're almost done with our first semester and we're all already really good friends. :)

    LONELINESS while in nursing school

    juliaann replied to cincin1222's topic in General Students

    I agree with the previous comment. The friends I've made in nursing school have been the best friends I've ever had. We spend so much time together working on projects and studying that we've really...

    Suggested maximum amount of loan? Your experience?

    juliaann replied to coonkine's topic in General Nursing

    I'm taking 20k for my ABSN. The program is 15k and I'm only taking a little extra to help with rent and utilities for the next year, even though we're losing my entire income (25k last year). My...

    Resigned From Long Term Care

    juliaann replied to interceptinglight's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with fuzzywuzzy. Of the 3 people you claim should share the responsibility for the fall, I think you should be bar far the least "responsible" of the 3. You didn't even know she was back -...

    # Hours for part time?

    juliaann replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You will find administration does not at all agree with your first sentence. It'll be better for you to change that mindset now. It is ALL about the patients. Healthcare is more and more a customer...

    PRN list is laughable

    juliaann replied to parumph's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm a PRN nurse aide, but I guess our system is different than yours. At my hosptial PRN doesn't equal "on call," it means I work as my schedule allows. I put in my availablilty two weeks in...

    # Hours for part time?

    juliaann replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've never done rotating weekends, but since your hours are 30 per pay period that makes sense that one weekend in the pay period you work 2 8-hour shifts, and then the other week you work 2 weekdays....

    juliaann posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    So, is anyone else in this awful waiting period hoping to hear about acceptance from OU? I applied to the Tulsa campus, but I know admission decisions for the Tulsa and OKC campus were made at the...

    Training in hospital?

    juliaann replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You can always keep applying and interviewing...while it's not great to "job hop" if you really need more hours and/or really want to work as an MA, keep applying until you get what you want! You can...

    Ok, what's the real deal with new grads?

    juliaann replied to future nurse1's topic in General Nursing

    Meh. I start my ABSN in 2 weeks, and I already have a contract with a hospital for after graduation. I may not get my top pick of units (it'll depend on what's available next year), but I'll have a...

    Training in hospital?

    juliaann replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Just so you know, I have never heard of a hospital using medication aides. There are enough nurses that the nurses can administer their own medications (as opposed to LTC, where there's usually only...

    # Hours for part time?

    juliaann replied to cmm4ever's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Okay, I'm kind of with the OP on this one - my first nurse aide job was at a hospital, I was NOT a CNA yet (not required for working in a hosptial in my state), had NO healthcare experience. I asked a...

    how far is your clinical?

    juliaann replied to cgravier's topic in General Students

    Yikes! A lot of you have really had some commutes! I'm SO thankful my campus is less than a mile from my apartment, and the hospital where my program does ALL of its clinicals is only 2 miles from...
