  1. CNA base pay

    OURN83 posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    So I'm thinking about getting a job as a CNA while I go through nursing school and I'm just curious about what the average pay is for a CNA in Tulsa. I've heard it's between $8.00-$10.00/hr... Is it...

    OURN83 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is not really related to nursing, per-se, but I have just started a new job as a nurse. I mean, I have been at this job for 2 weeks tomorrow. I am already stressed to the max and questioning...

  3. "Didn't you learn how to deliver a baby in NS?", HUH???

    OURN83 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't work in labor and delivery, but I was having a discussion with a couple nurses tonight about how our deliveries with our children were. . . Well I got to my story, about how the nurses were...

    OURN83 replied to OURN83's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Also, I want to mention, it wouldn't be a big deal for me to notify the DON, or straight up tell this person myself to get lost if I wasn't so new. Again, I am very new and I would really hate to...

  5. OU Tulsa BSN TCC Collaborative Program

    OURN83 replied to mommy.19's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    How cool is this! I didn't know TCC offered that! How does it work? Are you actually in the same classes as the TCC nursing program students or is it separate? How many levels of the program do you...

  6. OU LPN to BSN program

    OURN83 replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Not quite sure I understand.. Does that mean if I take the NLN tests and pass then does it waive some of the gen ed courses or what? What exactly does "advanced standing" mean and you get 30 credit...

    OURN83 replied to boricua15's topic in LPN to RN

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

  9. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I got in with a GPA of 3.76 and had all of the pre-reqs completed. Also, be sure you have taken anatomy and physiology seperate. That is one issue I had to talk my way out of since I took it together....

  10. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    TCC goes by a point system. They take the number of applicants and rank them according to their GPA as well as the amount of prerequisite course work completed. They also take into account the GPA of...

  11. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Sorry, I guess that last post wasn't exactly encouraging! The truth is, if you want something bad enough, anything is possible. Mind over matter, right? It is hard but who said nursing school was...

  12. Quick ? about TCC!

    OURN83 replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I would not recommend TCC to my worst enemy. I am a level 4 nursing student at TCC, so I can tell you first hand what it is like. MOST of the instructors don't give a crap about the students. They...
