  1. CNA base pay

    LanaBanana replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    OURN83 - I heard about another option last night if you're just wanting to get some experience. One of the girls in my class works for Interim healthcare, which is a temp agency. She works through...

  3. Looking for A&P Online

    LanaBanana replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Find out how many hours they need the class to be and then ask if they will accept it from somewhere such as Colby CCC. Their A&P class is 5 hours, A&P 1 and A&P2 are 4 hours each....

  4. Looking for A&P Online

    LanaBanana replied to rockytopRN2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I enrolled in Edukan through Barton County CC and they made me have Biology has a prereq, but Colby doesn't, although the lady at BCCC told me that they were trying to get the prereqs set the same for...

  5. CNA base pay

    LanaBanana replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Is their weekend option set up so that if you work 24 hours you it's equivalent to being full-time? I've heard that some places do

  6. $$ for nursing school

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

    Lori, did you work full-time while in school? I'm looking at trying to work this fall, but only want to do it part-time, either a couple of nights or on the weekend. Also, the hospital I'm looking...

  7. $$ for nursing school

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

    Have you considered getting a job at a local hospital that will perhaps pay for your tuition? Maybe working as a CNA? All the hospitals around here have pretty good programs, usually require a work...

  8. I didn't get all this education to wipe behinds!

    LanaBanana replied to SeekingNur's topic in General Nursing

    I'm one month into my LPN program. There is a girl in my class who from the first night of class told us that she already works as a nurse ("I do everything except IVs, blood draws, and give meds") at...

  9. CNA base pay

    LanaBanana replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    At St Francis did you apply for their position of Patient Care Tech (nursing student option ) or something like that? I've been told not to apply through human resources, but to contact the nurse...

  10. Nursing Assistant state exam questions

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

    My tester was very nice. We had to bring our own mock patient (I brought my mom). There was a set-up of a patient room, with supplies all available along one wall. She would say something like "You...

  11. CNA base pay

    LanaBanana replied to OURN83's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I know you asked this a while back, but I'm planning to get a CNA job this fall part-time and was talking to a guy in my LPN class about it. He said St. John's pays the best in town and starts at...

  12. I'm interested, but have a phobia

    LanaBanana replied to jc6275's topic in General Nursing

    I became a phlebotomist last year and before starting it I was terrified. It wasn't the needles that bothered me, it was the thought that I was going to hurt people. I finally had to give myself a...

  13. Is there any hope for me? please help

    LanaBanana replied to klar26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your grades aren't bad, but you're right that sometimes that can make it hard to get into a program. I did the same thing when I first went to college - took too many classes, ended up dropping a lot...

  14. TCC RN Class HOURS

    LanaBanana replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm at Tulsa Technology Center in the evening class. All of our clinicals are evenings. We will have a couple of things we have to go to during the day and our preceptorships are usually done during...

  15. Traditional BSN programs in state

    LanaBanana replied to Persnicketier's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I don't know if you know about the new program starting up at Oklahoma Christian University (in Edmond) or not. It would be more expensive of course, but is always an option. I went to OC several...

  16. RN Salaries

    LanaBanana replied to nursedamsel's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm not sure where you're moving from, but keep in mind that even though the pay in OKC may be lower than you're used to, the cost of living is pretty low. Sorry I can't help you on the salary...

  17. What if you can't hit a vein to draw blood?

    LanaBanana replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Any chance your just drawing something simple like a CBC or H&H and maybe you could get it from a finger stick? Also, how are the hand veins? If you don't think you can get it and have already...

  18. starting chem 1 today

    LanaBanana posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, the day has finally come for me to start Chem 1. This is my second try with this class - dropped halfway through last fall because it was over my head. This spring I took principles of chem...

  19. OU LPN to BSN program

    LanaBanana replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    It's my understanding that all LPNs have to take the tests regardless of school accreditation. Where are you going to school

  20. Indiana State University

    LanaBanana replied to dekatn's topic in LPN to RN

    Does anybody know how long the program actually takes if you have all of the gen-ed/prereqs

  21. Took pre-reqs 12 years ago

    LanaBanana replied to E-man's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the time-limit is usually only applied to science classes - your other general eds should still be ok (english, humanities, stats, psych, etc.)

  22. OU LPN to BSN program

    LanaBanana replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Thanks so much! Hopefully by this time next year I will be out of school and taking those tests! I'll keep you in my prayers for the acceptance! Did they give you any indication about how many LPNs...

  23. OU LPN to BSN program

    LanaBanana replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Does OU have books they recommend you study from? Or did you just study NCLEX books on those

  24. OU LPN to BSN program

    LanaBanana replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I hope to have all my prereq's done by the time I finish the LPN progam (if everything goes as planned!) I can't believe they make you wait until July! When did you have to apply? Did you do a lot...

  25. OU LPN to BSN program

    LanaBanana replied to nurse100's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Goodluck! I don't know anyone who has done this, but it's the program I plan to do eventually (I just started my LPN program.) Let us know how it
