   Thanks for the support! I'll let you know when I hear. Tyvin - I've had other interviews at different hospitals that did the group thing but this was way more people than what I've been through, it's usually just 2-3 people. #1ME - Good luck!!

2. interview today...only went ok

   RNin'08 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   So I had an interview today for a position in the MBU at the hospital I currently work at and I'm a little discouraged. It went ok. I don't feel like I knocked it out of the park but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. It was a group interview, there wer...

3. night workers- how do you keep a normal routine/life?

   RNin'08 replied to arnie1234's topic in General Nursing

   I work 7p - 7a and it's not so bad, like everyone else has said, just find what works for you. I nap for 3-4 hours in the afternoon before my first shift, get up and help hubby get dinner ready for the kids, help with homework, make sure things are r...

4. Can anyone give us New Grads a glimmer of hope?

   RNin'08 replied to nurse901's topic in Colorado

   I've been looking for a job since Feb and have had a really hard time, the best advice I can give is to send emails, make phone calls, leave messages, talk to any one and everyone that may be able to help you and don't give up. I just interviewed for...

5. UCHSC supply list?

   RNin'08 replied to TemperStripe's topic in Colorado

   You can wear pretty much any style of scrub pants that make you happy. I wear the cargo style, all the pockets come in *very* handy. I also bought my own scrub tops and had the school embroider them (an extra $10). I just didn't like the way the ones...

6. UCDHSC Waitlist?

   RNin'08 replied to kitsune01's topic in Colorado

   I believe that the students who were accepted have until mid April to turn in their letter of intent, so the school will probably be going through the waitlist into the first part of May as they find out who is accepting and who is not. I can't remem...

   RNin'08 replied to cardiaccassie's topic in Colorado

   Have you already had your interview? How'd it go? I have had some of my clinical placements with Exempla and enjoyed them, I also have a friend who has worked at St. Joe's for the past 6 years and loves it (she's nearing the end of her first year as...

8. PPCC advice

   RNin'08 replied to robynv's topic in Colorado

   I know I'm adding to the conversation a little late but I thought I'd throw in my :) I took A&P 1 at FRCC during the summer semester, it moves quickly and is a lot of info but it is definitely do-able. I also wanted to say that if you're using ...

10. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    RNin'08 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado

    I agree with line and bensmom, I've loved my experience so far with UCD (also graduating in Dec. 08!) The education has been great, I have only had one professor that I wouldn't recommend, and I feel like we're being well prepared for what's to come....

11. Best and Worst Schools?

    RNin'08 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado

    Agreed, the waitlists were just too long for me. I put myself on the waitlist for FRCC (Westminster) around 4 years ago and still wouldn't be started (I still get their emails even though I've asked them to take me off their list). I decided to work ...

13. Denver OR Nurses Help!!!

    RNin'08 replied to bridgfor428's topic in Colorado

    I know of new grad RNs being hired right out of school into the OR at Porter, Denver Health, and North Colorado Medical Center. I'm not sure how common/uncommon it is but I do know it can happen. Maybe you can try to get your Senior Integrated Practi...
