    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  2. Hillcrest hospital gives TCC nursing students a "gift"

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    That's kind of how I felt. That's almost $130,000 that they could have put towards increasing salaries that would attract the new students. Or even paying the CNAs better so that more students would...

  3. How long do I have to wait to drug test?

    LanaBanana replied to cocco's topic in General Nursing

    I recently had one for a new job and they said if you'd taken in within 30 days they needed to know and said it might take a little longer to get the results back. Also, I had to show a prescription...

    LanaBanana replied to ladybugsea's topic in General Nursing

  10. How to remove stains from lab coat??

    LanaBanana replied to ladybugsea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just so you know - if you ever get blood on any of your clothes, dab them w/peroxide. When I did my phlebotomy internship I was doing a draw and the rubber stopper on the tube was messed up and I...

  11. Becoming a CNA with a BA degree?

    LanaBanana replied to katoosha's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No they will not think you are overqualified. I think they would be impressed that you are willing to start at the bottom. I am in school with a guy who has been working in marketing for a radio...

  16. Oklahoma City University

    LanaBanana replied to Miss Kitty00's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I wonder how they can open up that many classes? It sounds good though. I went to their webpage and I might consider the RN-BSN even though it would mean driving to OKC 1 day a week. Wonder if that...

  17. Platt?

    LanaBanana replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I posted my thoughts/experiences with Plat in another thread but will add my 2 cents here. When I took my CNA class my teacher was the clinical coordinator for the practical nursing program at Tulsa...

    LanaBanana replied to ksnurseling's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FINALLYY....please don't resign yourself to failing before you've even started! You CAN do this, just be prepared to ask for help and to not give up until you can do it. If you have had any kind of...

  22. Calculator not permitted?!

    LanaBanana replied to Finallyy's topic in General Students

    I did a lot of mine w/out a calculator just because I wanted to know I could do it. It is division and multiplication. If you take small parts of an equation instead of getting overwhelmed by the...

  23. What is your fall schedule?

    LanaBanana replied to dottimur's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Oh, that makes sense. Tulsa Tech works with the public schools as well, but I think the adult programs have different hours. Not really sure about that though since I'm in night program. I know...

  24. What is your fall schedule?

    LanaBanana replied to dottimur's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Those are kind of weird hours. I wonder why they have them like that? I like my PN program, as I'm sure you will. I'll be starting a CNA job at the hospital soon, which I hope will help me feel...
