  1. SORRY - i have to rant about this. I don't want to start a fight- and I'm not going to generalize about all BSN or ADN programs. They have to be evaluated individually on their own merits but....... The constant arguement over ADN vs BSN is driving m...
  2. ??about childrens center OKC

    Hey out there- I'm currently pre-nursing @OKCCC & also working thru moore-norman tech on a CNA (independent study). A friend mentioned that The Childrens Center in Bethany always needs CNAs, all times/days & I should apply there when I'm cer...

  4. Just reading thru some archives & found a reference to OKCCC Associate Nursing program as "remedial" Anyone have an opinion on this? I'm enrolled there for spring A&P I. I have a previous BS so I'm going for the AAS RN. I have tried to get ...
  5. 10 Days 'Til Spring Semester! ~ What Are You Taking?

    A&P II and Microbiology of Infectious Disease
  6. Hey- just wanted to rant about how things have changed. I feel sorry for kids just coming out of high school and wanting to do nursing- they're in for some tough competition and there is no easy way around it. I happen to be one of the non-tradition...
  7. found the "weeding out" class

    I'm currently taking "Clinical Calculations". It is required for ALL health programs- RTA, PTA, EMT, Nursing. It consists of dosage, drip rates, ped dosage, etc. We started this summer with 16 and we are down to 8. I have a 98% so far, but it is ha...
  8. I am in pre-nursing and taking clinical calculations- my instructor said that the UK doesn't use Human insulin as much as the US due to the genetic engineering of bacteria required to produce it. Is this true? or is he full of it?? Anyone know wher...
  9. insulin-is my instructor full of it??

    I am referring to Humulin/Human insulin / derived from recombinant dna in E coli. He said that Europe, in general, had issues with GM products- so they use the pork or beef derived insulin more than the "human". Hope this is more clear- Thanks for t...
  10. NET test score

    I have a small Review Book called : "Study Guide for the NET, the HOBET, and HELP Entrance Tests". I haven't taken the NET yet but hear it's straight from this book. ISBN 0967544645 it's put out by Educational Resources Inc.
  11. Post the grades already!

    way to go! keep up the good work!
  12. NET test score

    My program requires a minimum of 72 on the NET. Sounds like you did well- congrats!!
  13. found the "weeding out" class

    Gosh- I'm nervous about doing it in 16 weeks- you guys are brave to do it in 8!!
  14. Post the grades already!

    That drives me nuts too- last semester I couldn't even get on the stupid school site! I guess everyone was hitting it at the same time. Good Luck!!
  15. found the "weeding out" class

    OOOOOH poor Jerry! Pharm in the summer- that's too short! It's gotta be tough-hang in there! Good luck everyone- let's all stick together- we'll make it!
  16. I'm pre-nursing @ Oklahoma City Community College aka "O triple C" I love it! It has a very diverse student body which is great for me, the thirty-something mom of 2. I am applying in March- can't wait til Fall 06!!
  17. I found out I'm pregnant & then I failed boards! :(

    Just wanted to wish you the best for Friday ( or whenever the little one decides to arrive :) Congrats! BTW I think pregnant and sick is a proper excuse- I'd use it:) Good Luck!
  18. Admission rant...just blabbing

    very true- everything you said. I wonder what happens to the people that don't get in each semester? I've met some that have tried before and are still in school to bump their gpa and points. Others are doing another Associate's while they get these ...
  19. found the "weeding out" class

    I have Pharmacology this fall! I'm sure it will be the same story there. Actually, you have to complete "clinical calculations" to even get in the class- so I've seen a huge drop in Pharm enrollment already- people expected to do calc this summer :) ...
  20. How to get accepted? Here's what I was told

    At my school we don't go thru interviews- admission is done by preference points. They line up all the points and take the top 55 people. There are no wait lists, you must apply each semester. The points are awarding for gpa, courses, net scores, com...
  21. found the "weeding out" class

    ya- with my first degree I took chem I&II, Organic I, and 2 semesters of physics, BUT it was over 12 years ago and this stuff is different somehow. Maybe because I've got more riding on it this time :) OH I hated algebra-thank goodness my hubby ...
  22. Thanks. Sorry-haven't checked this thread in a while. I too am old enough to refer to okccc as socjoc!! I took classes there in the early 80s while in high school. You're right, it has changed. I have been impressed with the faculty, and level of ins...
  23. Pass/Fail rate in your ADN program

    I have to agree with the above comment on "weeding out". I have seen in my first 2 semesters of pre-nursing that there are always some students that expect to pass without attending class, studying, doiing papers etc. They show up for the tests, mayb...
  24. Pass/Fail rate in your ADN program

    One of the nursing faculty (teaches third semester) told me last year they had 50 out of 55 make it thru to 3rd sem. and 49 graduated. That's 89%- I thought it would be less. Maybe I'll make it after all ! If I can get in :)
  25. :kiss Let's all kiss and make-up! Now doesn't that feel better?
