MRS. PEREZ, I too live in OKC! OU Medical Center is an excellent hospital, and the pay is competitive for the area; however, the differential is one of the lowest in the city for nights. If you are interested in Integris Baotist, or Southwest, those hospitals are clean, and I hear Integris Southwest ER has one of the best patient turnarounds around. You will be busy, but it makes time fly and it is rewarding to be able to have more responsibilities to build on, and when you get to nursing school, it will only make it easier as you learn! If you get to work in the ER or the ICU, you will learn alot through the nurses and observation. Also, the pay where I work at OU Medical is 13.75 with differential at night, 11.25 without differential.

I just got my letter and I am accepted for the beginning track! Woot! Ok now for the important part... the letter says YOU MUST CALL BY FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30th 2012 TO ACCEPT... IF YOU DO NOT CALL YOUR SPOT WILL BE GIVEN UP TO AN ALTERNATE! please people check your mail and call them.. or you will have to reapply. Congrats to everyone who got in! VERY excited.

you guys will let me know when you get your letter right? haha im getting depressed when there is no mail from rose state...

Its interesting that they wait a month after they know who is getting in the program. When I applied for last spring, my letter was dated October 28th and I didnt get said letter till the middle of November. What gives?

I met with the director before i submitted my application and she said the cut-off would be 118, but that was a few days before the submission date, and there may be a few people who turned in their app that might raise that number. Fingers crossed though!

Hello All! Anyone else applying for Rose's beginning track RN program for Spring 2013? Just wanted to see who all was in the same boat as me.

Josh, I too was off by one point last application period! Man.. ive been checking my mail like crazy these last few days. Can't wait to see if I made it in.

My parents both worked in the hospital i was hired at, so that helped get my foot in the door. I worked in the Neuro ICU for a year and got out of there to work at a different hospital. It was nice seeing the unit both my parents worked at.

Oklahoma City, OK: I'm making $11.45/hr as an AUA(Advanced Unlicensed Assistant: same thing as a PCT across the nation), differentials are $1 weekend and $1 nights, after 2 and a half years of being a CNA. Oklahoma has a pretty low cost of living.
