1. Any info on these hospitals

   lilshamrock replied to Byrnsgrl's topic in Colorado

   Im currently just a student, but I have done clinicals at Sky Ridge on the med-surg floor. I did enjoy working there and the staff was really nice, but would have to agree that the turn over is high there from talking to the nurses. If you are look...

   lilshamrock replied to healthnut#1's topic in Colorado

   I had been waiting since 2003 my waitlist number was 508. Believe it or not there maybe a lot of people before you but a lot of them will either look elsewhere or drop out. I had heard there were about 40-50 people in front of me that went elsewher...

   lilshamrock replied to TiffanyA's topic in CNA/MA

   I agree with TBird. I am in the nursing program at the moment and I wish they would of required us to become CNA's first. For one, first day of clinicals for us we we're to follow around CNA's and help them. The most we could do to help them was ta...

   lilshamrock replied to lilshamrock's topic in Student Assist

   I wish going part time was a choice at my school but unfortunately its not or I would diffinately be doing that. That would make things so much easier balancing real life and school. Things are going much better and I'm trying to stay positive. I s...

   lilshamrock replied to lilshamrock's topic in Student Assist

   Thank you all so much for posting! Normally I'm not the type to let something get me down, usually I just try harder and get it right the next time. I went and asked another instructor to help me and see if I could check her bp while she listened al...

    Hello all, I usually don't post often, but I guess for some reason I felt compelled to do so just to let some of my frustration out. I am currently in week 4 of my first semester of nursing school and I hate to say but I'm starting to feel like mayb...

    lilshamrock replied to ikatiana21's topic in Student Assist

    You are so not alone. I too have been thinking the same thing to myself lately. I've waited so long to do this and I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember but now actually being in classes sometimes I feel so inadequate. I have two...

    lilshamrock replied to cnamaryl's topic in Colorado

    check out http://www.salary.com It will tell you an aprox amt that CNA's make. I personally haven't seen a big demand for CNA's but that is just looking at the classified ads in the Denver post. Good Luck!
