    LanaBanana replied to gabym29's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

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

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

  12. to live in oklahoma

    LanaBanana replied to giby's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    While Oklahoma is ranked low on the payscale for nurses *(47th in US), I think we have a pretty low cost of living. It's hot, it's cold, and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of temps that are...

    LanaBanana replied to time2getreal's topic in Psychiatric

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    I went to Foot Solutions yesterday and tried on several shoes. The ones they recommended for the kind of work I'll be doing were the MBT and Spira. The Spira felt good but with the MBT I really felt...

  24. Anybody here still in the LPN program??

    LanaBanana replied to *lisa*'s topic in LPN to RN
