  1. Morgellon's Disease

    I didn't get to see the Primetime special last night but since I live in Tulsa, our local news had a big segment on it during the 6pm news. They have had forensic analysis of the "threads" and say...
  2. ??? about NOC

    WELCOME!!! Okay, I'm not a native Okie, so....where in the world is Tonkowa???? :) Goodluck with it, I'm sure you'll do
  3. employee health and pre-employment physical?

    Thanks for the info. Yes, I actually got a pair of MBTs. So far I love them, although I haven't spent any long days in them yet - just wearing them around like they suggest to get used to
  4. Best watch for clinicals?

    I just did a yahoo search for Prestige watch and the ones I found were around $3000! LOL - that's more than more LPN program costs! Surely that's not what you're talking
  5. employee health and pre-employment physical?

    That's it? They told me to expect to be there 2-3 hours
  6. OK weather?

    Since there hasn't been much activity here lately I thought I'd throw this out... Has anybody heard a long-term forcast for the summer? Is it supposed to be an extremely hot one? It seems that way....
  7. I found out yesterday during my interview that St John's is working towards Magnet status. Was wondering if anybody knows what changes that would
  8. Best watch for clinicals?

    I opted for metal as well. I've been shopping for a new watch but all the waterproof ones look pretty masculine and are really big. I'm guessing my current one is probably as waterproof as it needs...
  9. Did you do the generic BSN at OU or the RN-BSN? I'm trying to decide between working a year as LPN and then doing the LPN-BSN or going straight to TCC for my RN and then doing RN-BSN. From what I'm...
  10. OK weather?

    No, my yard looks the same as it did 3 weeks ago when I finally paid a kid to mow it. Well, except for the sprouting trees that are popping up all over from a tree a had cut down a few months ago!...
  11. St John's Medical Center - seeking Magnet status

    Excellently put Quadlock. My nephew was born 6 wks premature at SFH and spent several weeks in the NICU and I couldn't have been more impressed with it. But I have had ER trips to both and SJMC...
  12. OK weather?

    Seriously....another day over 100???? Last week I made a quick trip to Tampa, FL. It's a trip I've made a few times a year for the past 5 years, but this was the first time that it was hotter in...
  13. Importance of being a CNA before RN

    I don't have any advice, but wanted to offer my own reasons behind wanting to work as CNA while in nursing school. I was finding that I wasn't comfortable working hands-on with patients and felt...
  14. CNA salary

    No, St. John's in Tulsa.
  15. Scabies Question

    One of my friends just moved her grandmother from a LTC center that has had consistent scabies for over a year. She said her grandmother just keeps being treated for it and since she is bed-ridden,...
  16. I had been thinking about starting this thread all week and forgot about it. I guess the time has finally come! Class starts on Monday. I've been doing some of the ADAM labs to get ahead, but...
  17. Calling All CNA's!

    Will your hospital pay for you to do a nursing program? I know some won't offer that until you're accepted into a program. I just got a CNA job to do while in nursing school because I really wanted...
  18. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Welcome to your life in nursing school!
  19. Edukan A&P2 summer session 3!!!

    Try this link for BYU. It looks like it can be started anytime and finished anytime but looks like there are a lot of projects - on the right side of the page is says "view web course" and then you...
  20. What are clinicals all about????

    LOL! When I got my phlebotomy certification last year I was scared to death! I kept telling the lady I was interning with that I just wanted to watch her the first day but towards the end of the day...
  21. taking notes with online classes

    Some teachers will post outlines for the text or powerpoints and you can use those to take extra notes on as you read. Also some book publishers have a website where you can get outlines and...
  22. St John's Medical Center - seeking Magnet status

    Wow. I had always heard good things about SFH until I started into the nursing field and now I'm hearing some not so good things - not as bad as other hospitals though. Sounds pretty embarrasing for...
  23. Anyone at Langston-Tulsa for Fall 06?

    I wish! I am keeping my eyes and ears open though because I hear they are planning to start a LPN-BSN program similar to OU's. I have heard good things about them. Goodluck! Do you know if they...
  24. which path to take?

    I'm probably getting a little ahead of myself with this thinking, but you can never be too prepared, right? I'm am in my PN program and will graduate in the spring. I have completed all prereqs for...
  25. Checking in with Edukan A&P 1 students

    My advice to you guys taking AP2 is to work on your labs when you have a chance between now and the class starting. It's nice to have them out of the way and doesn't make it as
