OUHSC LPN to BSN 2020-2021
Wishing you luck! Planning on applying for the Spring part-time program. Do you need to have an Oklahoma license if you have one in another state? Also, how do you prove the year of work and 1000 hours? Do they ask for evidence of some sort?

Thoughts on vegetarian/ vegan diet
I can tell you have done your research. There are so many health benefits & I really wish I could give up animal products but I feel as if i'm literally addicted after learning about casomorphins. Are you plant-based? I've been trying for a while to just quit but after a few days I give in. Lots of diseases run in my family & I also feel REALLY bad about eating them. I'm just trying to eat more ethically & one day tell my family that I actually tried to do something about the planet & their home instead of just passing on the responsibility to them. I've done a lot of research & found that humans really haven't been eating meat for that much time so there aren't any risks to a plant-based diet as evolutionary biology hasn't affected us humans much. I would greatly appreciate the tips. I also noticed being more energized after doing it for a while & would like to continue to feel that way.

Thoughts on vegetarian/ vegan diet
Yeah I agree to not push a vegan diet on younger women, especially if they are suffering from an eating disorder. As healthy as it may be, they usually take it to extremes. I'm over here laughing at the person who thinks someone snapped their trochanter bc of a vegan diet. That's hilarious. Comments like those remind me of how poorly educated about nutrition many people in healthcare are. Being vegan & vegetarian does not mean they are healthier though. I would say the vast majority are & on rare occasions you find those who are living off of amy's mac & cheese, pizza, & beyond burgers. With any diet, anything in excess is typically unhealthy. You usually never have to worry about vegans though as their immune system is typically better & their cholesterol is NEVER an issue. Try to educate yourself on the positives & the negatives of it. I left dairy for 3 months & the day an employee at starbucks gave me a cow's milk instead of almond milk, I nearly died after spending hours in the bathroom. Makes you wonder how harmful it is if just a bit of time without it makes you intolerant to it & causes such a severe reaction.

This is accurate. It is extremely rare to be unhealthy as a vegan or pescatarian though I do know SEVERAL overweight vegetarians. My daughter would just come home after school & just eat Daiya mac n' cheeze if it weren't for me cooking healthier alternatives. She's in college & is currently living off of taco bell & carl's jr beyond burgers yet still thin. I'm sure here sodium is not looking that great though.

Thoughts on vegetarian/ vegan diet
Tried pescatarian, vegetarian, & vegan due to a bit of a guilty conscience to contributing to world hunger, climate change, deforestation, global warming, ocean degradation, & animal cruelty but I couldn't stick with either. I still have cut down substantially on animal products but I was just raised eating all that junk so it's TOUGH. It's definitely much healthier. My family & I did the blood work after being one month vegan & the results were impressive. Diabetes, high cholesterol, & breast cancer run in the family so I stick with a lot of plant products as meat is carcinogenic here. I admire those people but I couldn't stick to it. Many docs are going vegan.. esp CV. Try to see what they would recommend. Don't let those healthy-lifestyle-hating people influence your perception of it either. Unfortunately, our society has gone from telling people to "eat their veggies" to talking down on those who do. You'll really hear more from the pescatarian/vegetarian/vegan haters than them themselves. My daughter is one but you would never know if it weren't for the big smack talkers that our unhealthy family can be at times.

mount sinai hiring process...?
Hey, I am thinking about moving to NYC by the beginning of January and thought about applying here. I heard that the job market for nurses is pretty rough. I'm currently in an RN-BSN program and I should be finished by the end of the Summer of next year. I just wanted to know what made you stand out from other applicants and helped you get hired here.

If we have already taken RNSG 1301 do we still need to take VNSG? Also, can we take another class in level 1 if we already have A&P done?

I got placed as an alternate for the ADN program but they said I could request for my application to be reviewed. I haven't heard back from the LVN program. I have called and emailed and yet nothing. Have you guys tried to contact them? It's frustrating and annoying at this point ): I just really want to start learning on how to become a nurse.

Thanks so much! Anybody applying to both north & central, & if so, which one is your 1st pick? North was my 1st pick initially bc I'm closer to it, but I just saw that their NCLEX pass rate is not that great & the program is newer. I'm not even in at any yet but it is a bit concerning & I may be considering driving a bit more to go to Central bc their NCLEX pass rate is over 5.5% higher/:

Ah! Thank you, you angel! I emailed them asking about that and whether I had to have everything typed into the application but they did not get back to me at all. I am just waiting on my titers and doing my drug screen next week but I filled out the whole application with pen. Do I have to type it all in?

HESI A2 exam 2018
remember any questions on critical thinking and any tips on how to study for it? I remember getting a question asking about accepting chocolates from a patient's family member, what to do if you're about to give a patient a pink pill that they claim to have never seen before, and what to ask a man who is about to take a new liquid medication, a patient trying to add someone on social media to talk about their situation.. I just never know how to study for it and I only scored 800.
