  1. what brands and style I decided I am gonna order some off the net because I am sick of the unisex crap. I have been looking at the Aviator scrubs and they seem pretty nice.
  2. Family wants to transport body.

    Has anyone ever came across this? The family is wanting to transport the body like two hours away in the back of their car. They already have a body bag and everything. Just really odd to me.
  3. Introduction & CNA Questions

    in my experience starting pay is anywhere from 8 to 12 an hour at ltc (long term care) nursing homes. as for child care you could just work a shift that would work out with you and your husband or just get child care somewhere else. I didn't help alo...
  4. I am being turned into the boards for a fall that I didn't start neuro checks even though no head injury or any injury was suspected. later that night she became lethargic at dinner. What should I do from here? I dont have a clue. the patient was a h...
  5. turned into the boards what now?

    update: state board called me yesterday and said the case had been dropped because all my documentation was correct. woohoo
  6. Family wants to transport body.

    I checked into this and they are not crossing state lines so the body doesn't have to be embalmed. They have all the paperwork from the funeral home and have been given the ok by the Hwy patrol. so I guess I learned something new today.
  7. turned into the boards what now?

    finally got more info on this. The reason she turned me in was due to "sending pt. via private vehicle to the hospital er with a possible head injury. the paperwork she sent to accompany her statement said pt was sent via ems on backboard with c-coll...
  8. Weight limit

    I dont think it matters my clinical instructor was a very large guy and worked in the ER. Still one of the best nurses I have ever met.
  9. What I don't like about my job-Interview

    I have always answered about how we are expected to "babysit" some of the other staff or have to deal with "highschool drama" that goes on. Which has almost every time been followed by them saying that their facility is not like that or is trying to ...
  10. CNA status

    To be honest I cant believe after that long they are still holding to it. But I think the letter sounds great. good luck
  11. two Jobs ?!?

    I work weekend doubles at a LTC and then 5-8hr shifts for a hospice urgent care where if I dont get a call I get to sleep at home and get paid full salary. But the weeks that I have to work the whole 72hrs a week it tears me up but if your determined...
  12. Hospice Nurse Transporting Patient Medications

    We have a contract with walgreens and here in Oklahoma I am have to deliver meds some (I work night shift). Yes some neighborhoods can be scary but I have had only one problem while delivering meds. guy asked what was in my bag and I told him my coll...
  13. Continuous Care Question

    I am part of our Urgent Care/ Continuous Care staff. we are one of if not the only hospice in this area to provide 24hr. care by a LPN/LVN at the end stage of life or if thought necessary to control patient symptoms or family comfort. The case manage...
  14. turned into the boards what now?

    family was at facility with patient shortly after she went lethargic, family member is RN for Hospice of patient. She was on the same line of thinking as I was. the facility said state was there last week and got them for their charting so maybe maki...

  16. Good nursing schools near Tulsa, Oklahoma

    FYI. OU is a private school. Langston is supposed to be real good and the pass rate for nclex is good as well
  17. OSU Okmulgee

    Sorry im so late on replying. It was self paced when I went there but I believe it has changed since then. Clinicals are mostly done in Okmulgee, Henryetta, and OSU med ctr. here in tulsa. In our class of like 17 I was the only one not to pass my fir...
  18. OSU Okmulgee

    If you have most of you basics already then just do the RN. in my opinion. I have also heard less than positives about osu okmulgee. I went to lpn school across the street from there and not many were going there. I did lpn first because I didn't hav...
  19. Tulsa Tech nursing

    i went to greencountry tech in okmulgee and liked it ok. osu-okmulgee was right next door and mostly people that took the lpn program then the osu passed and others failed (i heard this anyway). also central tech is in sapulpa and is a good school
  20. Curious female here! :)

    I started out for firefighting in college. Most departments around her you have to be a paramedic as well so I went to paramedic school (loved paramedic work but horrible pay) found out I liked the medical aspect of everything better than firefightin...
  21. I have an interview for an urgent care position at the local hospital what should I wear I have lots of nice suits but I think that is a little too formal. I have lots of nice shirts with and without collars, or just wear some black scrubs? This is f...

  23. Interview on Friday (women lurkers feel free to post)

    Thanks for all your help. I feel that the suit might be too formal myself. I will let you know how it goes and what happens at the interview Friday. The only problem is that it might clash with my current hospice job. Just have to see what they say. ...
  24. do you really need to start out as a cna?

    I worked hospice as a CNA and they are terminally ill. I did find some of them to have a better outlook on life than I did. I learned alot from the people I took care of and now I am a LPN at the same hospice and also work for a nursing home prn. It'...
