Hoping2BeANurse are you planning on attending Platts evening program? I am planning to. I did have other plans but of course they didn't go as planned. I need something fast. Im a single mom of 3 and it's getting tough. I've already taken the Hesi Ex...

I live in Oklahoma City and was considering getting my AUA. AUA is an advanced CNA who works in a hospital & can insert catheters, wound care, remove sutures, etc. I would like to know if anyone can give me info on starting pay (i have been a cna...

Thanks! this sucks to know. I make almost $2 more than that just as a cna & passing meds only on the weekends.

Nurse2bOK how are things working out for you so far at Platt? If you don't mind can you send me a private message as to what your monthly payment will be about?

I have been stressing myself out so bad over where i should attend school for nursing. Im a single mom of 3 and i work full time. I was accepted into an expensive private LPN school & was thinking about taking the chance but then i think, i would...

Thanks for the info i appreciate it! I make 11.18 now as a cna/med aide and thats after being at my job for 4 years. Nice to know ill possibly get started out more than what i currently make. One more question, do you know if OU has any tuition assis...

This is just too much money for a simple certificate compared to a RN degree. I was thinking about going to this school but the price has been heavy on my mind. I was already accepted and theres no waiting list you just have to pass a HESI entrance e...

Hello. Sara i was wondering how Mid America Tech is?? Please any info if u have any. Thanks

Thank you jesuslover007. I know the details of what an AUA does, but do you have any advice, pros & cons to working in the hospital. Do you get swamped with patients every day? How is the other staff towards you? Ive never worked in a hospital, j...

Hi ive been a cna/mat for 5 years now & work in a memory care unit. Im burned out on elderly & memory impaired at that. I have wanted to be a nurse since i was about 5 years old. I enrolled at OCCC for summer but i have to start at the bottom...

WorkofHeart8 im guessing you attended Platt? How was your experience & where were you employed after graduation? Everyones experiences are different, im just curious if you dont mind. I have quite a few friends who have graduated from Platt &...

Hi i would like all the info i can get about the 1+1 program. I enrolled the other day at OCCC to start my pre-reqs but a friend at work told me about the 1+1 and just curious as to how to get into this after i finish all pre-reqs. Thank you

ok snb1028 yeah i called and asked, it is something that is offered to you. Well im going to try my best either way and im going part time so i hope ill have time to study even with 3 kids and working full time. I was thinking about taking the AUA cl...

Thanks SylviaBee! Im enrolled in occc to start pre reqs, im considering also doing the AUA just to get out of my job and get into a hospital. The only thing is im not sure if hospital hours will work with my school schedule.

Hi i was looking up posts about the AUA program. I also am interested and and will go this year to Moore Norman for mine. Ive been a cna/mat for 5 yrs & i work in a memory care unit. Im burned out on working with the elderly & memory impaired...

Thanks snb1028 ive been driving myself crazy with school on my mind and trying to choose the right one. Ive already enrolled in OCCC for summer and fall and im nervous but excited. I have to start with pre-reqs its my first time to college and im 27,...

oh ok thank you. I will probably just get my lpn first then go from there. Being on a waiting list forever is what im worried about

Thank you everyone for the comments. If im having second thoughts than its probably for a good reason. Not sure whats next but i will go to school this year! To The Commuter, i would love to pay 19,000 for the RN and not 34,000 for lpn. Thats just no...
