I don't know exactly how difficult it is to get in. I believe 50 applied or so and 24 got in. Small class size. But that's just for the part time program. I really enjoy the pace, the professors, and the atmosphere. I did my undergrad at OU and I tho...

I'm about to switch to night shift and start school in the same week. WOO! Any advice on how to switch to daytime life for my class once a week. Most weeks work will be sun-tues nights and then Thursday class.

I'm enrolled currently. I havent really had much going on with it yet bc we just had orientation. From what I can tell though it seems like a solid program. A lot of NP schools are online and this one is in person for a lot of the classes ex: patho a...

Applied and accepted at 24 will finish DNP at 28

I have an interview next week for the FNP BSN-DNP program at Oklahoma City Univ. Does anyone have any interview tips or example questions?? Anything would be much appreciated

From what I've gathered from other NP students and also my Dad (who is a physician) most interviews aren't that intense. I was also asked what I would write my doctoral capstone paper over and how I would research it. I was however accepted to the pr...

I don't know many ppl in my orientation that had icu jobs here that weren't aides or didn't do clinicals here. But def contact nurse recruiters

I am in a large hospital in Tulsa. My pay is 20.70 base but on nights I'm 24.70 with differentials. But I have friends who make more bc they did their externships and the Tulsa hospitals they work at

It's so weird how Tulsa pay is better when the cost of living in OKC is higher. I work in Tulsa but my friends in OKC are paying minimum 200 more in rent. Not cool

Sometimes this site can be a little disheartening. I love to read allnurses to hear the struggles and hopefully the joys that we experience as professionals in this profession. But sometimes it is so sad to see how quick we all are to jump down each ...

Very true that's what I try to remember at work or at clinicals during school, it's hard for people to dislike you or be harsh if you're smiling!

I assumed you could report but didn't know how thank you! I wouldn't ever do that if it wasn't myself being attacked but I just think we need to all be mindful of how we approach topics and responses. This site is meant to be a resource and forum for...

I know people have said this but as someone who has had an eating disorder (anorexia) I'm sure the times I was eating 500 cals a day was a time I was impaired, which was before I was a nurse or even a nursing student. And I feel like I'm impaired if ...

Thanks for that info! I only used that term bc my current employer and all my clinicals have used it. I didn't realize it was derogatory. Very glad to know what the AANP stance is on it though.

I'm currently in NP school getting my DNP but as much as I'm sure I will be proud of my Doctorate at the end of the day I don't want to confuse my patients. My father is a physician and keeps saying you could technically be "Dr." But I say in my area...

I'm from that area and worked at that hospital actually. It definitely would not be worth a ton of money in expenses unless you were very desperate. Not that it's a bad place but like you said it's not a really exciting area and the hospital is small...

Oh my. Hopefully they will get a year to redeem themselves. Congrats to you though!

I would say in comparison to some Kaplan questions (I completed all qtrainers and qbank) my exam was more basic information. Ex: hypertension, diabetes, everything I had seen previously. But Nclex is weird in that I still was not 100% on any question...

Same here! I'm single! I got tuition reimbursement aka 7,000 for just handing them a transcript and I've heard ill get a sign on. It's really not that low of pay from what I've seen in other states. Ill be making 25/hr on night shift. And my friends ...

I live in OK and just graduated all but one of my friends had a job by graduation. We went to OU so most ppl stayed in Norman/OKC area but I got a job in Tulsa. Oklahoma is competitive for highly sought after positions like say ER, trauma icu but you...

I agree OK was pretty easy to get a job. Also AR

Which Mercy Hospital? Meaning which city? I'm not sure where you're trying to go but XNA airport is notorious for cheaper flights! That's in the Fayetteville area. Also I've previously worked for mercy I'm not sure they would reimburse. You may want ...

I read this forum a lot before I took Nclex and it straight up freaked me out. But I praise god for it telling me about the Pearson vue trick. BUT I took Nclex last week and passed in 75 questions. Guys! It's not that awful! The waiting is awful and ...

Does anyone know if the board posts new licenses on Saturday? I was told not to pay the 8 dollars for the quick results but I Dnt want to freak out if my license isn't posted on Saturday
