  1. I want to get CNA certified (by my employer)

    LanaBanana replied to ozwar2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got my CNA this past fall at the tech school where I'm going to do LPN. They actually require CNA before starting LPN. It only cost $300 and that didn't leave me stuck at a nursing home I wasn't...

  2. Online Science Courses

    LanaBanana replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    If you didn't do well in HS sciences or if it's been a long time, I would recommend Principles of Chem before taking Chem 1. It doesn't look like EduKan requires it, but my college requires College...

  3. Online Science Courses

    LanaBanana replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    A&P 1 and A&P2 are both listed as 4 hours at

  4. how to find good LTC for loved ones (at low cost)

    LanaBanana posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    A friend of mine is looking for a new nursing home for her mother after they just increased the cost 28.6% What's the best way to research them before just going through the phone book and visiting,...

  5. Nursing in Oklahoma around Tulsa

    LanaBanana replied to Town & Country's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Yup, never heard of West Brighton. The only thing that comes to my mind is Brighton Gardens retirement

  6. Ugh! This weather!

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    No hopefully it's all over. I just saw on TV that my school isn't opening until 10am on Monday. That means no 8:30 class!

  7. Votech or College: What is good/ bad about both?

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

    I think the price of the program depends on whether the tech school is for-profit or non-profit When I had looked at medical assistant programs in the past, at the tech school it was under $2000. At...

  8. Thinking about LPN instead of Rn now.

    LanaBanana replied to CrystalClear75's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't know if you're in an associates or bachelors program, but most places you can challenge the LPN test after your first year of an associates RN

  9. Votech or College: What is good/ bad about both?

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

    As to whether tech schools are easier than colleges, it's hard to say. Most of the LPN programs are pretty intense. I saw you're from Norman, so I would check out moore-norman tech...

  10. RN Scrubs

    LanaBanana replied to babyphat's topic in General Nursing

    This is the exact reason my nursing program reversed the old uniform of white pants and navy tops to navy pants and white tops. Everybody got tired of seeing certain people wear little hearts all...

  11. Help please...phlebotomy

    LanaBanana replied to sticker 2's topic in General Nursing

    I got my phleb certification last spring and know how frustrating it can be to find those veins! I found that I wasn't tying the tourniquet tight enough most of the time (didn't want to hurt anyone!)...

  12. bp cuffs...

    LanaBanana posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are pricier bp cuffs actually any better than the cheap ones? Any suggestions for what to look

  13. bp cuffs...

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    The adscope stethoscope seems to be ok. I used it for my CNA training and was able to do pretty good on bp's. I know it's just a matter of listening close no matter what steth you

  14. No Chemistry

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

    When I asked the rep from university of oklahoma about it last week she said as long as the class is from an accredited college (all of the ones affiliated w/ Edukan are) it doesn't matter and that...

  15. how to find good LTC for loved ones (at low cost)

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks, I hadn't thought of medicare and dept of aging! Duh! Yes, she's dealt with a couple of LTC places already but her mom is not covered under medicare (they opted out of medicare because he was...

  16. Anyone taking A/P thru Edukan?

    LanaBanana replied to bullcityrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Just be sure your school will take that. I have to have a total of 8 hours, either A&P 1 & 2 or anatomy then physiology separate. Schools here will not accept the combined one semester class...

  17. Community College Instructor's Qualifications?

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

    Are you in Tulsa or OKC? I'm doing prereq's at TCC right now and know that although most of my teachers have had masters, it seems like a lot of the adjunct do not. There are a lot of gen ed...

  18. No Chemistry

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

    The ADN programs around here only require Principles of Chemistry but ALL of the BSN programs (including LPN-BSN and RN-BSN) that I've seen require Chem 1, as a 5 hour class. If the issue is time or...

  19. RN Scrubs

    LanaBanana replied to babyphat's topic in General Nursing

    I found out yesterday that the hospital I did my phlebotomy internship at (and where I would eventually like to be a nurse) has color-coded all of their departments. All nurses are now wearing navy...

  20. Anyone taking A/P thru Edukan?

    LanaBanana replied to bullcityrn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So are you going to take A&P 2 there as well?? I was told by the school I plan to transfer to that you have to take both from the same place. Do you think you got as much out of it as you needed...

  21. bp cuffs...

    LanaBanana replied to LanaBanana's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks. It is just for school because I know that most hospitals/offices have their own. I'm going to watch for a cheap one on eBay. I have an Adscope Light stethoscope and hopefully it will be...

  22. take my survey for stats class - PLEASE!

    LanaBanana posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay, this is short and sweet. I need 30 responses. I realize that this isn't getting a random sample, but the purpose of this project is to show that we know how to imput data into our software and...

  23. take my survey for stats class - PLEASE!

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

    THANKS EVERYONE! I HAVE FINISHED THE CLASS AND THE PROJECT! No more replies needed but I really appreciate everyone's

  24. RN Scrubs

    LanaBanana replied to babyphat's topic in General Nursing

    We could have them made like prisoner ones with our name and title in BIG BOLD letters across the back! And maybe down the legs too just for good

  25. Platt College/ Tulsa

    LanaBanana replied to crazy.house's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    bummer. Don't know what to tell you. Just make sure the wages around here for MA's will be high enough before forking over the money. I was led to believe that wages for that would also be around...
