  1. Rogers State University

    Samantha79 replied to LJTulsa's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I have no idea who that blonde lady is. "D" who I sent you a PM about is a brunette. I already have a bach from TU. TCC jerked me around during my pre-reqs and I wasn't able to get Chem and Micro...

  2. Help! dont know what to do

    Samantha79 replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    It's your first test. A 76% on one test doesn't equal 76% for the whole class. If you keep saying/thinking that you are failing then it will be a self-fulfilling

  3. Stethoscope question

    Samantha79 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

  4. Help! dont know what to do

    Samantha79 replied to kenpochic's topic in General Students

    First off breathe. 76% is a passing grade. No? Nursing school is a whole different animal than everything you've had to this point. Don't expect your A's to carry over, it's just not very...

  5. I need some advice please!!!

    Samantha79 replied to MMDearing's topic in General Students

    So sorry that it took so long to respond. Nursing school is keeping me BUSY! :) I do have kids. I have a 5 year old son who is in Kindergarten and a 3 year old daughter. I'm in school at the same...

  6. How did you do on your first test

    Samantha79 replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    I got an 86. I didn't read any of the chapters. I went over the power point notes, made flash cards of the key terms and did the NCLEX style questions on the books website. When we were reviewing...

  7. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    Samantha79 replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    Wow. We fail at 75.9, and yup, no curve. Wrong is wrong regardless of where it's happening. If you saw someone stealing at the store wouldn't you report it? I feel the same way about cheating....

  8. Advice on Nursing School

    Samantha79 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    Your best is all you can do. I think those grades are perfectly fine for NS. You see a lot of 4.0's (myself included) on this site because nursing draws in over-acheivers. The most important thing...

  9. so what pre reqs have you taken? And how did you find them to be?

    Samantha79 replied to cgravier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    general bio - great class, great instructor, mostly memorization and not a whole lot of stuff that i haven't used yet in other classes. it was a good class to get my feet wet in science though. my...

  10. Shoe recommendations?...for clinicals?

    Samantha79 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    They look really cute, but we have to have a heal on our shoes. The shoes by Alegria aren't as cute as the

  11. I need some advice please!!!

    Samantha79 replied to MMDearing's topic in General Students

    I'm a military wife as well. Your best bet is an ADN. Then wait until your next PCS (after the 4 year billet you are about to start) and do an RN to BSN bridge program. Most schools offer a bridge...

  12. What can I do with a bad gpa?

    Samantha79 replied to shabookitty's topic in General Students

    Here in Oklahoma (and I think it's like this with most NS) you won't even be considered unless you have at least a 2.5 GPA, and to be competitive you need in the 3.0 range. With that being said, the...

  13. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    All the nursing instructors seem really nice and caring. It was an information overload. The schedule is complicated, especially trying to figure out childcare. Can I just say that room 135 makes...

  14. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Nope, no test to get in. I think we are taking the TEAS (ATI) in a week or so though. See you guys

  15. Malpractice insurance for RNs?

    Samantha79 replied to ecierra's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's only like $100/yr or something like that... so why not. Extra protection is ALWAYS

  16. Shoe recommendations?...for clinicals?

    Samantha79 replied to Sammygrll's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got the New Balance 927 walking shoes with inserts. They are

  17. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Just those 3 books alone weigh 14lbs... not including notebooks, folders, powerpoints, etc. I currently have a sholder bag and seriously doubt those would even fit in it... let alone be comfortable...

  18. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Holy mamba-jamba! I got the rest of my books today I knew med-surg would be big... but maternal & newborn was almost 2000 pages! Great googly moogly... I think I might have to get a rolling bag...

  19. Langston University

    Samantha79 replied to alexmo's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I looked into the nursing program at Langston when I was trying to figure out where I would go... let's just say they didn't leave me with warm fuzzies. It seems very unorganized and...

  20. Best method for figuring dosage calculations!!!!

    Samantha79 replied to survrgrl08's topic in General Students

    I was taught using ratio and proportion. WAY easy. Basically, what is the order vs what is on hand and you've got your answer. It's pretty straight forward, at least for me, this is how my brain...

    Samantha79 replied to Skips's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    http://nursing.ouhsc.edu/Academic_Programs/index.htm This is the website to OU-Tulsa nursing degree page. There are several different options at OU. Click on the one that fits your needs and then on...

  22. What is the difference between these 3 courses?

    Samantha79 replied to happy2learn's topic in General Students

    Our school required the BLS course (3rd one). It took us 4 hours because there weren't that many people in the class and we opted to skip lunch and work straight through so we could be done sooner....

  23. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    It wasn't for me. I did ZERO studying for that class and only missed 2 homework questions and zero test questions for the whole semester. It's basically two formulas and that's it. I do know that...

  24. RSU Fall 2010

    Samantha79 replied to aholland311's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I didn't procrastinate. I had to wait until I had money to order it. Unfortunately $65 is something that has to be budgeted in for our family. I ordered it the very next possible paycheck after...
