1. Short Journey

   dreams2bnurseco replied to ellebilo's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks for sharing - I have hirschsprung's disease, and I was lucky enough to have made it through the corrective procedure when I was 3. Now I'm 25 and going strong! I can only imagine the struggles my parents went through.

2. Let the waiting begin

   dreams2bnurseco replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks, everyone, for the positive vibes! I still have about 2-4 weeks until I know if I got into either school, but I did get an interview with one of the programs (the other program doesn't do interviews) - so that was awesome news! Interview is o...

3. GI Patient Questions - Scope & Hirschsprungs

   dreams2bnurseco posted a topic in Gastroenterology

   Hi - I am a 25 year old GI patient (and pre-nursing student!) w/ Hirschsprung's Disease, pull-through correction in 1988. I've had little to no issues since the correction, but over the past 3 months my docs (PCP, GI, even cardiologist - I have Tetr...

4. Your desired specialty

   dreams2bnurseco replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Anything peds, probably pediatric oncology, and then eventually Forensic/SANE/Legal Consultant Nursing.

5. Regis- Interview process?

   dreams2bnurseco replied to delish5's topic in Colorado

   I also got the interview email! I think Rmed has some great tips. I am curious - when did you apply to CU? Only asking because I applied at the same time as Regis but haven't heard anything yet - I assumed 6-8 weeks for an answer? Good luck to you ...

6. Let the waiting begin

   dreams2bnurseco posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   After years of mental back-and-forth, two unrelated (and frustratingly useless) degrees, and a semester of pre-reqs, I have FINALLY applied to nursing school! Two different programs in Colorado, both accelerated BSN's....one program is much cheaper ...

7. Request info on Forensic and SANE-A

   dreams2bnurseco replied to JillVan0920's topic in Student Assist

   Also - check out publications by Virginia Lynch...she's pretty much the pioneer of this field. This is a great book: http://www.amazon.com/Forensic-Nursing-Virginia-Lynch-FAAFS/dp/0323028268

8. Request info on Forensic and SANE-A

   dreams2bnurseco replied to JillVan0920's topic in Student Assist

   I have a Masters in Forensic Science, and after having a terrible time trying to break into the industry (despite several years of unpaid internship experience), I'm now going on for my BSN. I'm considering becoming a Legal Nurse Consultant, which i...

9. Has masters and pre reqs....

   dreams2bnurseco replied to WifesAfutureRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The above response is exactly the pro/con list I sorted through when making my decision -- I, too, have a masters degree, and being a newlywed, I really thought the "saving money" route was the way to go. But after realizing that I didn't have 2 yea...

10. nursing admission essay help...edit??

    dreams2bnurseco replied to jreneex2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Jen - I truly hope a school wouldn't hold your valuable experience against you, or anyone for that matter. I'll be applying to two accelerated BSN programs this summer, and I have a bachelors + a masters. I am currently unemployed (laid off Septemb...

    Thanks, everyone! And good luck, mzchas!

12. Help! Any self-paced or online Anatomy & Physiology courses starting soon?!

    dreams2bnurseco replied to ChineseLantern's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just a side note - check to make sure the nursing programs you'll be applying to don't require a lab component...many schools won't accept online A&P classes. Something to keep in mind. Good luck!

13. Finally!!!

    dreams2bnurseco posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've been a member on this site for years, and have posted the same message again and again, "I think I'm going to apply to nursing school..."...but never actually did it. Life got in the way I suppose - moved several times, got married, and other e...

14. Safe areas to live in/near Denver Regis?

    dreams2bnurseco replied to muircv's topic in Colorado

    Hi There - I recommend Westminster or Broomfield - I have lived in both. Those are safe areas pretty close to Regis. (I'm considering attending Regis within the next year or two for nursing and the commute was certainly a nice bonus!) I think Thorn...

    dreams2bnurseco replied to dreams2bnurseco's topic in Colorado

    Hi Peeker19 - Thanks for the reply. I'm glad you're enjoying the program, I must say that I'm pretty jealous! ;-) It's a bummer for me that it's a full time program, looks like I might end up having to shell out $40,000 for Regis if it means being ...
