1. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

   jdarcy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

   I moved to Pueblo to finish Nursing School. I have finished my RN/ADN program at Pueblo Community college. Excellent School experience and I feel very well prepared to take NCLEX in a few weeks. I looked at my RN to BSN articulation at CSU Pueblo a...

2. New Application to the Board Monday

   jdarcy replied to LittleToe's topic in Colorado

   I was curious about that too. We were told that it would be about a month from the time we recieved our transcripts, sent them to the board, paid pearsonvue, etc. ...before we would recieve permission to test. I realize that you are thru the proces...

3. Microbiology and Pathophysiology for Summer semester?

   jdarcy replied to eve5483's topic in General Students

   I would be very afraid that you would do one of two things with that kind of schedule. The first is that you would fail one or the other. The second is that you would pass both and not learn a dang thing from either one. That is actually a WORSE s...

4. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

   jdarcy replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Well, all Nursing Programs should be "hard". At the very least they should be intense. This La junta program (like most) will require all your time. ALL of it. I only know a few people that worked during the semester and passed. People were driv...

5. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

   jdarcy replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am at La Junta. We just finished finals. Class started with 32 and I think there are about 16 or so left. I mean this semester, as the fall semester was about 37 or so. I think. Grueling but challenging. Lots and Lots of paper. I am not all ...

6. Anyone take Microbiology and A&P 2 same semester?

   jdarcy replied to megn2boys's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am speaking from experience as I have taken AP2 and micro at the same time. Yep. It's hard but wait until you have MedSurg and OB/PED's and Patho at the same time. You will look back on that semester of micro and AP and say..."Ah, those were the...

7. My name is Tweety and I'm an Alcoholic

   jdarcy replied to Tweety's topic in Recovery

   :redbeatheTweety, I was looking for something else when I saw your story. Even though you would think that the medical community would know better we still have a tendency to think of Alcoholics as down and out wino's on skid row or the guy strappe...

   jdarcy replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado

   Oh, the numbers on the pass rates. go to http://www.dora.state.co.us/nursing/education/RN-PassRates.pdf I was wrong about Pueblo. It's 70.2%!! the average of since 2000 for first time pass rate is 75.4%

9. ACC - Nursing Program

   jdarcy replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado

   yeah, i saw that coming and signed up for the Patho and Math 103. It looked to me though the CCCS system didnt require either of them, most of the colleges just added both of those to their cirriculum. So, I figured why kill myself...take em now. ...

10. Three Years?!

    jdarcy replied to onexmorexgirl's topic in Colorado

    Good stuff here. Actually a lot of the schools had a sudden shortening of the wait times because the acceptance requirements changed. GPA, Math, Micro instead of Patho, Nutrition etc...the biggest was the GPA. some who were on the wait list got bum...

11. ACC - Nursing Program

    jdarcy replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado

    I understand your frustration. I felt much the same way. What it required was some research on my part to find the best school with the shortest wait list. I am currently a student at Front range and would have loved to have gotten into that progr...

12. Do CNA's Make better RN's? HELP!!

    jdarcy posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    HELP!! My girlfriend is badgering me to get my CNA before going to Nursing School for my RN. (I start in the fall of 2007 @ OJC La Junta) She was a CNA and is an OT now and she believes that Nurses who have NOT been CNA's are probably not as good ...

13. Micro before A&P?

    jdarcy replied to IaCountryGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am currently about to finish AP202 and Micro in the same semester. I had an idea that AP202 would be easier and Micro would be a death march to finals...well, guess what? It was sort of the other way around. In many ways they complemented each o...

14. ACC - Nursing Program

    jdarcy replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado

    I would check into that again. If ACC is Arapahoe Community College then they are part of Community Colleges Colorado System. Go to their website at CCCS.edu and check the nursing requirments. I know that with AP201, ENG121 and Psy235 you can get on...
