I need to take an intro to Chemistry class before starting my nursing program in May and was wondering at which school to take it. I have taken Biology classes at ACC before and was less than impressed with the staff and structure of the classes. However, ACC is very conveniently located and would cut my driving time in less than half. Has anybody taken Chemistry classes at ACC before? How was the staff, did you like the course structure?

Hello all,

I was just wondering if there are any people going to metro state next year, starting January 2010 for their accelerated Nursing program.

I just thought it would be fun to get in touch with people and get to know one another.

Thanks! ]]> Colorado Nurses jbeddow http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/mscd-metro-state-438508.html http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/bilingual-rn-more-436690-new.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:45:04 GMT Does anyone know if bilingual nurses get paid more at Denver Health?

Once I finish the RN program, will I be eligible to sit for state boards, and will I be eligible for hire? This is all confusing to me as I have heard many different opinions about the NAU program.

Despite being in the high risk catagory he did OK, he got Tamiflu which really knocked his fever down. We have had worse complications with other flues because if his asthma. He sterted with symptoms on Tues and fever on weds. By Saturday his fever was down to normal from 104F. On Sunday mornig he could not stand or walk because of calf pain. he could not dorsiflex his feet without yelling. It was scary. Children's hospital said it was Post Influenza myositis. I had never heard of this befor. He just started standing and walking today although he still has pain. Has anyone ever seen this before? I heard it is not very common.

I would really like to shadow a nurse in a hospital setting here in Denver, I have contacted Denver Health and they declined my application as I have to know a nurse and get their approval. Does anyone have any ideas or know of any hospitals (preferably a pediatric setting) that allow shadowing??

Hello can anyone tell me what the new grad base pay and night differential is for health one hospitals now?? It may have changed throughout the last year so if you are a new grad that just got hired through health one I would greatly appreciate some information. Also do they increase your salary if you have hospital experience because I have three years of C.N.A experience. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance. ]]> Colorado Nurses nurse901 http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/health-one-new-433597.html http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/anyone-hear-metro-433499-new.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 21:09:38 GMT Has anyone heard any information from Metro yet?

I have been waiting, but I have a deposit due next week for another school and wanted to hear from Metro before I decide. I know people are going to say just pay the deposit ($1000) and then I can decide later when I hear from Metro, but I really don't want to lose money I been saving. I was thinking of calling or emailing Metro to see how far along in the process they are, but I did not want to annoy people there if they have no idea.

We are planning to live in Longmont, and I've given myself a 30-40 mile radius as to what hospitals I'll look at. On a whim, I contacted a travel company to look into doing the traveler nurse thing. She was not able to give me exact salaries, but she said that I should expect to be paid $25-30/hour. I was shocked, as that seems so low! She said that CO is a "high demand" area, like HI, FL, and NY, and so hospitals know they don't have to pay the travelers as much as they would in other states that are harder to fill.

So I'm wondering what the hospitals in the area are paying their experienced nurses. I'm wondering if it may just make more financial sense to try to get a permanent job directly through a hospital, rather than go the travel nursing route.

TIA

Hi there,
So my question is, if you have your license and have been working in another state and the online application asks "Do you have a Colorado nursing license" and you honesty check no, does that kick your application out before HR/hiring managers ever see it? How about as a new grad, if you check no but are intending to get one as soon as you graduate?

Thanks in advance, esp from anyone with HR experiance! ]]> Colorado Nurses lumberjack http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/applying-license-another-433278.html
