  1. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    I believe I was mistaken. I was reading an old article and California was one of the last holdouts that did ban males as recent as 15 years ago. The patient happened to be hispanic, but I don't...
  2. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

  3. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

  6. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    I should have been deliberate about asking permission to come in and announced myself. When I entered my instructor was standing there and she didn't say anything. Hindsight is 20/20 and I could...

  8. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    There are few more minor details I don't care to discuss because I am uncomfortable airing the full story if my instructors came upon it. I am basically a jerk that creeps around patient rooms while...
  9. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    All the answers are no. I've done intimate care alone many many times in the nursing home environment as a CNA. I don't really like doing it on females. I think it is probably a lawsuit waiting to...
  10. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    I was in the room for such a short period of time I didn't even realize I had a problem. I do remember the patient's face so I must have looked that direction. I believe I was in the room maybe 20...
  11. Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    Essentially I upset the hospital, instructor and patient. I was not welcome back by any of them. Patient was in labor and I "stared" at the patient. My staring may have been realizing I wasn't...

  16. OB nursing PE(pulmonary Emobolism) question

    Isn't oxygen a comfort measure at this point since they are experiencing a PE? I guess what I am asking is if there is any rationale for summoning help

  18. If anyone has any questions before they apply I am monitoring this thread to answer any questions you might
  19. Anyone planning to apply to OCCC's BADNAP program 2015?

    I took the TEAS test and it asked about naming carbon compounds. I didn't think this was even something nurses studied in Chemistry? I learned about it in Organic Chemistry, but I just took that...
  20. My point is this option may work for some people, but there are clearly better options when 1/3 of your classmates are failing(This statistic is from my experience and my frirends that both attended...
  21. Oklahoma City University Kramer

    I attended an Oklahoma SNA conference and I just want to say that I was very impressed with your instructors. Hope you enjoy
  22. Yes, this is exactly what they are doing. They could care less who passes, but they do care if you pass the NCLEX at the end. They have an 85% pass rate. They don't lose so many as the semesters...
  23. I am not bitter or hurt, but I would like to warn anyone applying that about 1/3 students will fail this program. It is a proven statistic in my class and my friends. It makes no sense to attend...
  24. Informal poll on grading scale

    I don't think the grading scale makes much difference. The school I'm in has a 78% limit, but the school I dropped out of was 74% and much more
  25. Exact question is:1. What is the function of the Oklahoma Board ofNursing (OBN) as it pertains to students? The only thing I can come up with is they regulate the educational programs? There is...
