  1. Don't laugh, but... what if I throw up??

    LanaBanana replied to Alice b.'s topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I have this "aversion" to breathing through my mouth when in a really smelly situation. I know that sounds stupid, but the thought always runs through my head "if I don't want the smell going...

  2. watches - best for nurses?

    LanaBanana posted a topic in General Students

    My watch just broke and I'm going to get a new one, but wondered what features I should look for. I'm pretty sure I want a plastice or rubber band because of all the handwashing/germs, and that a...

  3. Birth Shot Records for school??????

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

    I would go to the health department. That's where my dr's office told me to go because it's cheaper. They can tell you exactly how to go about doing adult series because I'm pretty sure it's...

  4. Nurses with sign language experience?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    My sign teacher is also deaf. You aren't allowed to use your voice at all during class and can be asked to leave class if you are caught talking. After we took our mid-term, our teacher cleared his...

  5. Nurses with sign language experience?

    LanaBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting my nursing program in May. I'm currently taking a sign language class and love it. Would really like to be able to continue but can't right now. I was just wondering if there's anybody...

  6. watches - best for nurses?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Students

    Thanks for all the help guys! The last one from WalMart looks good. I will definately check it

  7. NP programs in or around Tulsa ???

    LanaBanana replied to carachel2's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yup, OU is the only choice. I know they have some of the graduate programs available here and if they didn't have the one you want, they do a lot of classes on internet and you could drive to OKC for...

  8. Nurses with sign language experience?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies. Seems like most of you are thinking along the same lines as me - if I can communicate even the slightest bit to brighten their day or let them know that someone cares, it...

  9. Where to live around Tulsa?

    LanaBanana replied to booklovinrn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Busymomof6 is supposed to be starting it soon I think. She has a post in the Oklahoma forum titled "Hi oklahoma!" You could pm her and probably get some info! Good luck! By the way, what brings you...

  10. Where to live around Tulsa?

    LanaBanana replied to booklovinrn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm going through Edukan http://www.edukan.org With it, you choose one of the 6 colleges in the consortium and receive credit through them. I'm getting my credit through Barton County Community...

  11. Where to live around Tulsa?

    LanaBanana replied to booklovinrn's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I've lived in Tulsa for 5 years now and love it. If you want to be in the Tulsa area, but not Tulsa proper, the out-lying areas are Owasso(growing very quickly, but I hear that housing prices are...

  12. 8 Week A&P 1 with Edukan...what do you think?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I had sent Simmons an e-mail again telling him my frustrations with the tests. He said he checked the key and the tests were graded correctly (guess he felt like I was being a little accusing -...

  13. Bipolar Nurses

    LanaBanana replied to Always a Catch 22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious, but was this to get your initial license or because of problems? I know the licensing application asks about mental illness but I was hoping to not have a big hassle about it. It's...

  14. Bipolar Nurses

    LanaBanana replied to Always a Catch 22's topic in General Nursing

    I've worried about this as well, but have received a lot of support from this board. I think the best thing you can do is to understand your illness and be prepared to catch the early signs of any...

  15. ok tax commission

    LanaBanana replied to nurse with cats's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I'm assuming this is because of owed back-taxes? Have you tried an attorney or maybe the consumer credit counseling angency? They can usually help work things out. If they can block you here, won't...

  16. 8 Week A&P 1 with Edukan...what do you think?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am soooo not happy with these tests! I got a 34/50 on this one, again it's a D. I just really want to see what he says the correct answer is. I might as well not even read the chapter! Wish we...

  17. Having to list meds on school app

    LanaBanana replied to meb1118's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If an issue came up about it after admission, say at a drug screen (which shouldn't be testing for anti-depressants anyway) you could always say you recently started it. My situation is a little bit...

  18. labeling stethoscopes

    LanaBanana replied to Golden_Clover's topic in General Students

    I'm not in nursing yet, but it seems to me that a name tag would be more obvious to keep people from stealing it. It would be something that would make it stand out a little

  19. Should I ??????

    LanaBanana replied to chill65's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take it! The info you'll get is invaluable (IMO). Give yourself all the headstarts you

  20. 8 Week A&P 1 with Edukan...what do you think?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just went ahead and tentatively signed up to take A&P2 in the fall session 3. I wanted to hold my spot in it, but am going to see how busy (overwhelmed) I am with work from nursing school and...

  21. watches - best for nurses?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in General Students

    Wow, they really don't let you wear wrist watches? I feel so naked without a watch! I've been known to actually wear my watch even after the battery stopped just so I had one on. I'm also a little...

  22. 8 Week A&P 1 with Edukan...what do you think?

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow, quiet thread this week! I've done my homework for this unit and think the lab is done too except maybe the "beyond ADAM" questions. I"m not going to get to the test this week until Saturday....

  23. Very sad, got a 80 on A&P Lab test.

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

    It's probably too late for this but if you think you might see that pig again - like maybe on a final - there is a virual pig dissection on the internet. I don't remember the website, but you should...

  24. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

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

    I was born in 78, and corificeats weren't a requirement then. But my parents did have the "harness" that they put me in. It was like a vest that zipped up my front and the a seatbelt could be looped...

  25. For the eyes of the "older" pre-nursing students only!

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

    I had a cell phone (actually then we called it a car phone) my junior year in high school when they were pretty new. But I had a drive an hour each way for music lessons twice a week and my parents...
