  2. Best hospitals in Tulsa area

    LanaBanana replied to blaaveispiken's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Saint Francis Heart hospital is offering $100 Target gift cards to all qualified nurses who interview (heard the ad on the radio today!) So if you're in the area you might want to try to interview...

  3. Future CNA in Tulsa

    LanaBanana replied to tcali's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I don't think the St Francis program counts as the prereq required for TCC because they require either PCT or CNA cert. I did my training through Tulsa Tech. Since August I have been working at St...

    LanaBanana replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

  5. ATI Testing is BS!

    LanaBanana replied to TsavarenaRN's topic in General Students

    We do ATI's and have to score something like a 60 or better but it can be re-taken. We also have access to the practice tests which really helped me get in the right mode of thinking with the...

  6. Best hospitals in Tulsa area

    LanaBanana replied to blaaveispiken's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    If you decide to apply at St. John, send me a pm and I'll give you my full name to use as a referral. I'm not sure if non-nurse referrals still get a bonus, but if we do I'll split it with ya! I had...

  7. Physiology online....????

    LanaBanana posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm trying to find an online physiology class for a friend who has already completed Anatomy. I can't seem to find one that offers it as a stand-alone class. I checked all of the colleges listed in...

  8. CNA in OK

    LanaBanana replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    There's also a place called DreamMakers. I have a friend who did their program and I think it was only maybe 1-2 weeks fulltime. I did mine at Tulsa

  13. Student needs help (Tulsa OK schools)

    LanaBanana replied to rentiesvillenurse2b's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Wow, sounds like you're in a tough spot, but you are still passing! I talked to my teacher yesterday about a hypothetical situation of if a TCC student who had completed level 1 wanted to transfer to...

  14. cna's who don't do their job

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

    I thought I would update everyone on this situation. The aide in question is transfering to another department to be a unit clerk so she will no longer be doing patient care. I'm so excited about...

  15. Student needs help (Tulsa OK schools)

    LanaBanana replied to rentiesvillenurse2b's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    You should probably put this in your own thread, but I'll go ahead and include my response here. If you finish level 2 at TCC then you will actually have completed the equivalent of the LPN program...

  16. Question for OK Nurses

    LanaBanana replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I forgot about OU! And I even have that page bookmarked! They seem to have pretty good benefits, including tuition to go to

  17. LPN saturday classes?

    LanaBanana replied to mistiffy's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Hmmmm...not that I know of. But you could probably find a CNA class or PCT class on Saturdays. Or (and I know it's not the same, but something to get you in the medical field) maybe a phlebotomy...

  18. LPN job outlook in Tulsa???

    LanaBanana replied to Renee73's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Some of the floors at St John are trying Team nursing, where they have a RN, LPN, and CNA on each team and they take 6-8 patients. If they had the proper staffing, this might not be a bad idea, but...

  19. Can LPN's work as a graduate nurse?

    LanaBanana replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    Definately check w/your state - Oklahoma doesn't allow this, you'd probably be considered a

  20. Help! Pregnant and don't know what patients to avoid

    LanaBanana replied to changeofpaceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know you're not empoyed there, but perhaps employee health could help? I work with a pregnant nurse and it seems to me like she takes MRSA and C-diff patients but not VRE. But definately get some...

  21. holidays and hospitals...

    LanaBanana posted a topic in General Nursing

    As a relative newbie to the hospital, I was wondering what most places consider a "holiday?" I know Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years Day are. Are Christmas Eve (day) and New Years Eve (day)...

  22. Question for OK Nurses

    LanaBanana replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Let me know if you want to apply at any of the St John places - I can get a referral bonus and I'll split it with you! I had a nurse tell me that one time and I asked her why she would split it and...

  23. Question for OK Nurses

    LanaBanana replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    I work at St. John Medical Center in Tulsa (currently a CNA and in school for LPN). There aren't a huge amount of LPN positions available, but there are some. As a LPN student I keep a close eye on...

  24. Medical Terminology test?

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

    I had to take a med term test for my job at the hospital. The kinds of things that were on my tests were BP, DC, TCDB, TPR, prn, ac, hs, wc, bsc, brp, IV, post-op, bid, qid, etc. They were pretty...

  25. What Color Are Your Scrubs?

    LanaBanana replied to Miss Kitty00's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    They didn't used to be royal blue...did they? I know the rad tech program used to be royal blue. Seems like RN used to be burgandy? So maybe I need to hang on to my CNA uniform for when I do LPN-RN...
