  1. relocating to Colorado Springs.

    Since Memorial has become part of UCH they have added an O-arm to their system-the only one in the area. Plus, they have a DaVinci Robot and have hired a lot of new doctors. The days of Penrose being better are going to be over soon-especially when ...
  2. relocating to Colorado Springs.

    Memorial Central is a Level 2 trauma center that is planning on seeking Level One status. It will be the ONLY Level one trauma center in southern Colorado when it happens. Penrose Main is Level two. St. Francis and Memorial North are NOT Trauma cente...
  3. CNA job scam? Please help

    Not all job postings are scams. Our local Community Health Center posts jobs on craigslists. But I understand your POV and it's too bad that the bad apples make it bad for the legit ones.
  4. How long will it take to be hired as a CNA?

    Where I live the market is so oversaturated with CNA school graduates. Most places want a years experience-with so many CNA's they can be picky.
  5. Online Medical Assisting Program

    How much is the online program and who is offering it?
  6. $33, 000 for Medical Assistant program

    No they don't. MA's don't wipe people's hineys and do all the grunge work that a CNA does. As for the for profit schools most places will not even look at a resume that lists one as your education. I know several people who have attended such school...
  7. IV insertion problems

    I had surgery a week ago tomorrow. I told the nurse about my valve problems in the top of my hand yet she sticks me there anyway then proceeds to tell me , yes, you are pretty valvely. A few seconds later the site is all swollen and she says she does...
  8. Getting a job after challenging CNA exam

    The OP is lucky-in my state you can not take the CNA test unless you take a CNA course.
  9. Getting a job after challenging CNA exam

    I hope things work out for you. Good luck!
  10. Family Members/Patients Who Write Down Your Name

    Yep, we do. Especially when they are not getting the treatment they need.
  11. Getting a job after challenging CNA exam

    Most places want a years experience-staffing agencies included. If you know someone at a facility or staffing agency like a family member you have a better chance of getting a job there. The market is already over saturated with people who had formal...
  12. Deathbed visions **UPDATED**

    I don't know but it broke my heart to hear her say that. Especially since I knew she WAS dying. Her father was not a very nice person-he sexually abused her-so I was surprised when she said she saw him. She always said he went to h ell so maybe she t...
  13. Deathbed visions **UPDATED**

    A couple of weeks before my Mom died she told my Dad that she had seen her Dad and his parents. Three days before she died(that was the last day she was awake) she told me she was going to die and was going to h ell. I told her no, she wasn't going t...
  14. IV insertion problems

    Every time they try to start an IV on top of my hand they hit a valve. The last surgery I had the nurse tried 3 times before she managed to get it in. I think she was more flustered than I was and she told me to make sure I tell anyone else the next ...
  15. Odd ER visit

    I was once treated badly by one snotty ER nurse. A quick email to the hospital and the next working day I received a phone call from a patient representative telling me they were sorry I was treated badly and they would talk to the nurse. I also rece...
