   JamieA0321 replied to Rmedin19's topic in Colorado

   Thanks for posting this. I'm going to be in a similar situation. Although I haven't finished my pre reqs, I currently have a 4.0 in my pre reqs. I hope I can keep it. I'm happy to hear others are getting accepted into programs.

   I'm taking A&P I this summer with Psy235. I wanted to take it by itself, but I couldn't get my fin aid without taking 6 credits. I am expecting it to be difficult, but I am determined to make it work, somehow. I talked to previous students who...

4. UCD adding new prerequisite

   JamieA0321 replied to Sart45's topic in Colorado

   This doesn't surprise me. Metro is adding more pre reqs also. Sometimes I wonder if I'll ever finish, and if I do ever finish, if I'll ever even be accepted. But, I guess all I can do is continue on and try.

5. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

   JamieA0321 replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado

   Well, I shouldn't have said opposite, I'm saying that thinking in terms of corporate desk job vs. patient care/helping career. I'll be switching from legal to healthcare.

   JamieA0321 replied to MR1010's topic in Colorado

   I am not the OP of this thread, but I have a question about this. This information is for Regis, correct? I believe I saw that you were on faculty there. I'm currently finishing my pre reqs right now and plan to apply to CU, Metro, Regis and UNC. ...

   JamieA0321 replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado

   Just reading these threads freak me out completely and I'm not even IN nursing school yet! I'm going to have a BOATLOAD of student loans when I graduate (second degree, career change) I'm not above working as a CNA or whatever position I could get h...

8. Denver jobs for new grads

   JamieA0321 replied to verklempt's topic in Colorado

   The market in Denver, from my understanding is really bad. I'm very, very worried about finding a job when the time comes, even though it will be a good 3 years before I even get to that point. The amount of nurses they are graduating right now com...

9. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

   JamieA0321 replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado

   Thanks :) Where did you go to nursing school, tlapierre? I know things will be different when I finally get into and graduate from nursing school, whether it be better or worse, it will be different (and I'm praying for better right now!) I was hav...

    JamieA0321 replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado

    Thanks! It does help! The hospice case manager position actually sounds like a great position! Not something I had really thought of, but one that sounds interesting to me none-the-less. Right now I think I would like a hospital job, as that is w...

11. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

    JamieA0321 replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado

    Who should I talk to? When I talked to the last person (I think it was in volunteer services b/c I was asking about volunteer opportunities as well) they said they wouldn't arrange that for me, I had to know the person I was going to shadow and arra...

12. What is it REALLY like for new grads right now?

    JamieA0321 replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado

    Thanks! I've done a lot of soul searching and I'm sure this is what I want to do. Sitting behind a desk and hating it made me start thinking about what I wanted out of life. I've done some volunteering (though I realize is a far cry from the actua...

13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    JamieA0321 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    Thanks! That's so nice of you! I did register for the inclass one. Since this is my first semester back and I've been out of college for 10 years, I figured since it was available and I could do it, I should. I'm sure it will help to be there in ...

14. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    JamieA0321 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    An earlier Bio lab spot opened up so I registered for it. There is currently 3 spots available in the Saturday Stats class (as of the last time I checked). Should I drop my online class and get in the Sat. class? This will mean I'll be on campus o...

    JamieA0321 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    Oh gosh, the story about your friend has me freaked out completely! It's not that I'm not organized (I'm completely anal about being organized) but I am working FT plus some, I am a single Mom to a 2 yr old and taking these classes, I feel overwhel...
