    juliaann replied to juliaann's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    My hospital's policy is very similar. They offer $1500 each term (including summer sessions, but not December intersession) that I would get 2 weeks before the start of each term, so for the ABSN...

    Should I take chemistry just too impress?

    juliaann replied to northmississippi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I've never heard of a BSN program not requiring at least chem I with a lab. Do they not require microbio as well? Everywhere I've looked chem I is a pre-req to micro. I say if it's not...

    juliaann replied to MADDOG70's topic in Emergency

    My hospital rents 3 floors to other facilities - 2 behavioral health floors and 1 continuous care/rehab floor. If they have a patient code, the patients have to go to the ER before being admitted to...

    Oh, I don't mean to bum you out - like I said it was dated yesterday -- I'm sure it's on it's way, I have no idea how I got mine the very next day, considering it probably came from OKC and I'm in...

    Nothing in the mail for me today. Well, a few pre-approved credit card ads, but that's not what I wanted at all, haha. At least I can TRY to relax and enjoy my weekend and not think about it until...

    juliaann replied to cna13126's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My first CNA gig was on a general med/surg floor. It was supposed to be tele, but our general floor was closed for renovation, so we got it all. I worked day shift, 7am-7pm, and here's how my day...

    Second Bachelors degree???

    juliaann replied to neva2late's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    First, if you only want to go to one or two specific CRNA schools, make sure they'll accept an associates in nursing + a non-nursing BS. Only some schools do. If location of your CRNA program isn't...

    Second Bachelors degree???

    juliaann replied to neva2late's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I'm not sure you'd get into many BSN (2nd degree accellerated program or traditional) programs with that GPA. But the good news is a BSN may not be neccessary, depending on where you want to go to...

    Got into nursing school! Now what?

    juliaann replied to Ayala's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. If you have an up-to-date, valid prescription from your doc you will be fine. Bring a statement and/or copies of your Rx slips to your drug screening, and make sure you give it to your tester....

    juliaann replied to Nicoleyr's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Did someone tell you your 3.5 wouldn't be competitive at OU? Because based on their admission stats, that would put you right at the average *accepted student* GPA for the traditional BSN program in...

    juliaann replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with both of the above responses. There are no combined BSN+MSN programs in my state. I do have a prior BA, and I would LOVE to do a direct entry MSN! I *know* an advanced practice degree...

    juliaann replied to BrandeeInTraining's topic in California Nursing

    There is not a nursing shortage. Clinical hours do not count as experience. Nursing is a tough field right now for new grads (especially in Cali!) -- you're going to have to be very flexible on...
