   Well, I heard it's easier to get into than the other BSN programs in Colorado. I sure hope so! I have a couple of C's in my prereq classes, so I'm afraid that'll hurt me wherever I apply, but I don't want to retake them! I don't know anyone who's be...

   Hi! I had to call the school and ask to be transferred to the nursing department; no one would ever answer the number on the nursing department website. I had to pay $25 to apply to CSU, but there was no fee for the nursing school. And they told me I...

   Has anyone else applied to the CSU Pueblo degree plus program for summer of 2010? I just turned in my application. I haven't heard too many great things about the program, which is discouraging, but I don't have many options available for getting my ...

4. Moving to Arizonia

   plastic_cow28 replied to ToBANurse2010's topic in Arizona

   I feel sorry for those who hate living in Arizona! Wanna trade places?! I went to school there for 4 years and I absolutely loved living in Tucson. I moved back to Colorado so I could have in-state tuition for nursing school, but my heart is still in...

5. Hospitals in Yuma area

   plastic_cow28 replied to mlok's topic in Arizona

   Yuma Regional Medical Center is indeed the only hospital in the area. That shouldn't make it hard to find a job, though; Yuma County has a shortage of 1,400 nurses!!! (I know this because I spent my summer doing a health needs assessment of Yuma Coun...

6. Advice to Students: say "thank you"

   plastic_cow28 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

   Good advice! I start my clinicals on Thursday and I've been scared that I'll annoy someone, but you're right, gratitude and a good attitude can go a long way. :)

7. Otero Junior College

   plastic_cow28 replied to plastic_cow28's topic in Colorado

   Thanks, that would make sense. I sent in my fingerprints for a background check almost a month ago, so hopefully I'll hear back from them soon. I am not currently attending OJC; are you? I'm actually a student at a university out of state and will ha...

8. Using words like honey, sweety a no-no?

   plastic_cow28 replied to bee212's topic in General Nursing

   I love being called "honey" or "sweetie" or something of the sort. It makes me feel like the person actually cares about me. And I HATE being called "miss" or "ma'am." I'm not from the South either. But...I am only 22. (Although I must say, my mom h...

   Thanks, G-Fan. :) I have the general info and fact sheets, sent in response to my question! Hopefully since we are in mid-March now, I can get an answer.

10. FREE TUITION - FREE BSN - University of Arizona

    plastic_cow28 replied to nursing123098's topic in Arizona

    giardiafan, I understand that the College of Nursing is quite busy right now, as I've had a few friends applying for 2009 and I'm quite familiar with the timeline. What irks me, however, is that I first spoke with a nursing advisor last semester ...

11. FREE TUITION - FREE BSN - University of Arizona

    plastic_cow28 replied to nursing123098's topic in Arizona

    I'm trying to find out more info about the Yuma program also! The info I've received so far is very limited; I don't even know if it starts in 2009 or later. I e-mailed the contact person to see if I could get more info without actually traveling to ...

12. Who is applying FALL 09?

    plastic_cow28 replied to ChicagoICU_RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I applied to one school for Fall 2009! I finished all the pre-reqs: Statistics, A&P 1&2, Bio, Chem, English, Nutrition, Human Development, etc. My overall GPA is a 3.4 and I will probably graduate with a 3.4 as well. (I will have my Bachelor...

13. Where in CO can I get into a program fast that is also cheep and with a low GPA?

    plastic_cow28 replied to JenniferJen72's topic in Colorado

    Any community college in a rural area would be my bet for being the cheapest, shortest wait list, and they will accept you with the min. GPA. For example, I just applied to Otero Junior College in La Junta, Colorado, and it's first-come, first-serve...

    plastic_cow28 posted a topic in Colorado

    Is anyone else applying to Otero Junior College in La Junta for Fall of 2009? Or is anyone in the program right now? Graduated from it? I'm interested in talking to people familiar with it. I received this e-mail: "Your application to the Otero Junio...

    Oh, man, I would love to trade places with you! :) I want someplace wetter, colder, and darker!!!! I'm sick of the Tucson heat.
