I would hope not, many factors go in to this such as did patient suffer ill effects? is there a policy at your facility that requires double checking by another nurse? if the answer is no to all above i would give it a 90% chance that there will be no ramifications from a simple med error.

South Western Medical Center has lots of jobs and hire new grads before they even graduate or hire while awaiting your license.

you can get a job in Lawton OK right away even before you take boards! they will hire you at 19.00 an hour as a nurse intern then you get a raise when you pass boards.

When I applied to Oklahoma by endorsement, they thought it necessary to put conditions on my license for about 5 months for a crime on my record from 14 years ago, During that time no one and I mean no one would give me the time of day until those conditions were completed. I never had trouble in other states i practiced in(2 other states). But Oklahoma laws are very different from other states. The hospitals, home health, hospice, nursing homes even agency would not have any thing to do with me till conditions are met. I hope you have a different story than me. And if you don't mind I would like to ask that it seems very harsh punishment for just a simple med error, is there more to it?

There is not Nursing shortage in the Ardmore area, There are jobs in Oklahoma city or Lawton, I know there are some there too. Mercy hospital in Ardmore is a joke and the Human Resources department is the worst, I have heard they have no communication between you and the supervisors that actually do the hiring so good luck getting a job there. Bi pass the Human resources department and contact the supervisors directly and you will have better chance on getting hired.

Is it an appropriate question for a Doctors office to ask your sexual preference?

Update to my statement of warning Is since getting approved and working with other nurses I have found out that others that have endorsed to OK with squeaky clean records have also been subject to long waiting periods the fastest so far has been 6 Months! One nurse has good standing Nursing license in 4 other states and took her almost 7 months to get her approval, and her record is clean. It was told to me this state takes the longest of any other state to process your endorsement application, according to others that have applied to more than one state for endorsement. Just be aware that this process of Endorsement can take you several months to get approved, just want to inform people. Do not believe the 2 week statement on the application for endorsement.

Oklahoma Board of nursing is SLOW And i mean slow!! Also be prepared to not be given any information as to your status they tell you nothing when you apply. There has got to be a refresher course that is less time and less money.

My huge problem with being a male nurse is the stigma that i am Gay, which I am not but i get attacked as being such due to it being a female related field. It is not till they get to know me that they figgure out i am straight. Other than that there is no reson for a male not to be a nurse! It is a great and rewarding carrier choce!

Just to let those Know that if you plan on moving to the state of Oklahoma by endorsement and have any type of criminal history, then plan on at least ONE year to pass before you get your license approved, Also it does not matter how long it has been 10-20-30 years does not matter you will invest a slight bit over 2,000.00 of your money to pay for fees, classes and exams and U/A's even though you have been a good nurse in your state for many, MANY years with out any problems at all!!! The board of nursing here is as slow as molasses on a cold day! No information will be told to you when you apply so that is the main reason i am posting this is to warn people that are thinking of coming here, think again! My suggestion is to call them weekly to get them to move faster on getting your approval.
