Oh and I didn't specify, but I will be going to the Tulsa campus. :)

I was wait-listed and just got the call that I go an open spot!! I will join the FB group! I haven't done orientation yet (they are having a makeup on the 2nd week of July) so I am completely in the dark on everything! Im excited to meet everyone!

I work at St. Johns in Tulsa and make $13.09/hr So better paying jobs are out there!

That doesnt sound understaffed at all to me. I can have 14-16 patients by myself at nights on my unit...and they only staff one CNA at night...so its you when you are there! The first few months at any new job are HARD. It takes time to know what you...

A lot of nursing programs require you to have your CNA before you apply...but it won't take any time off your schooling. It will still be 2 years of pre-nursing pre-reqs and then 2 years at a nursing program. Don't give up before you even get there! ...

The hospital I work for offers $10k for employees to get their BSN (the program here at the state university is $18k, so that is a huge chunk of it!) in exchange for a 2 year contract to work for them as an RN. Have/Are any of you taking adventage o...

Congrats! Sometimes it takes a while to hear back!

I am already in a flex position at the hospital, and the said students can work as little as needed to keep up with school. They even have a "senior nursing student" position that you can get into your 2nd year. I am not yet accepted into the program...

Puppies are a LOT of work. A LOT. House training, chewing, needing attention, digging, tearing up stuff, needing to go outside every hour at first...if you want a dog, get an older dog. We just adopt senior dogs, and they are so much easier (usually ...

Anyone?

Doesn't sound like you would be very happy with nursing...?

Hunter Green. Solid matching top or print. Im a CNA in Peds

I just saw that. At least we know how to contain it, and how to keep it from spreading and the CDC was ready for this. Could have been a lot worse.

Its almost always hourly from what I have seen. But definitely ask and make sure!

Black out curtains, melatonin and a fan for noise canceling are my friends :)

I found that many chapters have objectives and summaries after each section. I go over those, and if I need clarification on something I will read that section. There is no way to get all of the reading done! Nurse Nacole (youtube) had a great video(...

Also, just remember that the first test is always tough since you don't know how the instructor writes his test yet! I got a 78 on my first test, and still got an A in the class! Is there anything specific you are having trouble on?

I got an A in Bio...I loved it tho! I had a friend I studies with once a week, and I also watched all the Khan Academy videos, which I found VERY helpful! Also finding videos on Youtube helped me visualize the processes. I am a very hands-on, visual ...

I got a call within a couple days of being hired about setting up background check and physical! I would give it a few more days and call again.

thanks! That makes sense that it might be better at times then adult care! This floor also takes some surgical overflow, so we will still have some adults, but most are in decent shape and only there for a couple days from what I understand! I hadn't...

I havent found any threads so far about CNA's working on Peds. I hope its ok to post this here! I had my PCT 10 years ago, and only had gotten 3 month of experience back then before I quit to raise my babies. Now I am 29, pre-nursing, hoping to sta...

Anyone? :)

What is your job title? Nurse Assistant (CNA) Where are you located? Tulsa, OK What is your hourly wage? $10.10 Are you paid shift differentials? $1 for being FLEX (float) and $1.09 for nights (anything after 3pm) What shift(s) do you usually work? 1...

I applied at the hospital 5 times before I got hired. They like seeing perseverance! I also followed up after my interview a week later to see if there was anything I could do or any questions I could answer...or if she had any other positions open t...

I work in Peds. I just started so I dont have an opinion yet, but I worked LTC and HATED it and this seems MUCH MUCH better.
