1. Thoughts on CO?

   SLS7533 replied to MovingRN's topic in Colorado

   I live in Colorado Springs. I moved out here 3 years ago from Maryland, right outside DC. I do not care much for this area. It's very pretty and the weather is nice and there are lots of hiking trails. Colorado Springs does have a very conservati...

2. Anyone going to PPCC?

   SLS7533 replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado

   Bekindtokittens--I did attend the info session on Monday night. I got a copy of the review sheet for the Bio 090 placement test, so I need to bone up on that and see if I can place out of the class. I got so excited after the meeting and it was a lit...

3. What's your story? Why did you take up nursing?

   SLS7533 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   I am just beginning the pre-req process for nursing school so I'm not there yet, but the science of it all is what is drawing me to the profession. I used to work as a veterinary technician and since leaving that 3 years ago I've realized how much I...

4. Help choosing classes at PPCC

   SLS7533 replied to robynv's topic in Colorado

   I will let you know. I was just looking at the catalog and I see that I can take Bio 090 on the late start semester (although I can't find an exact date of when that is) so maybe I can get into that class if need be. Maybe I'll see you at the info ...

5. AHA....lay people don't check for a pulse?

   SLS7533 replied to catlynLPN's topic in General Nursing

   This change came when they released their 2005 guidelines. They release new guidelines/changes every 5 years based on the research they have completed. You can check out the summary of all the 2005 Guidelines here http://www.americanheart.org/downloa...

6. Help choosing classes at PPCC

   SLS7533 replied to robynv's topic in Colorado

   Hey Robyn. I plan on taking A&P 1 and Human Growth and Development this summer and then A&P 2 and Micro in the fall. That's provided I get permission to skip Bio090. But as I last took A&P in high school and haven't had chem since fre...

7. Anyone going to PPCC?

   SLS7533 replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado

   I will probably have to speak with an advisor. I took A&P in high school and did well, of course that was 10 years ago now. I took 3 quarters of Chem for my first undergrad degree but again that was 7 years ago. Thanks again!

8. Anyone going to PPCC?

   SLS7533 replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado

   Bekindtokittens, did you take Bio090 or request permission from the department chair to go straight into Anat & Phys?

9. Does anyone else like working night shift besides me?

   SLS7533 replied to Joyfullme's topic in General Nursing

   How does the night shift effect your relationships? Are you always on that schedule even when you're off? Or are you able to spend time with your family and friends during your days off without it throwing you too much?

10. Anyone going to PPCC?

    SLS7533 replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado

    So, they're running two a year? One fall, one spring? That's encouraging. Now that my mind's made up I want to get going and am not overly enthused by the wait. But I have to get my prereqs and saw another poster talk about how they got some of the p...

11. PPCC Wait List

    SLS7533 replied to SLS7533's topic in Colorado

    Thanks for you help! I am going to be attending the meeting on the 21st. It's too bad you can't apply to the wait list and then complete prereqs . . . it wouldn't seem like waiting then. Although I am very impatient and just want to get going now....

12. PPCC Wait List

    SLS7533 posted a topic in Colorado

    I'm going to attend the next info session at PPCC for their nursing program but until then . . . does anyone know the approximate wait time once you get on the wait list? Does anyone know how that works? Are you able to register on the wait list an...

13. Jobs while in school??

    SLS7533 replied to wbrantle's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm concerned about this as well. I am only in the very beginnings of starting the process towards an accelerated BSN program and this is one of my biggest concerns right now. Can you get enough of an overage in your student loans to cover living e...
