   Thanks Sand Dollar! I'm having a great first week here at the hospital! Good luck in the hiring process, and make the most out of your senior year! Lonestar - They UCH application does ask for GPA, but they also want to see what kind of nurse/ person...

   Sorry for the late reply! - I did the health screening this week on Monday, and currently live in Aurora. Hope everything worked out for you! See you tomorrow!

   I hope so too! Yes, I'm also on MDSS. During the interview, I remember the hiring manager saying that they require uniform scrubs. I assume that means scrubs with the logo!

   Thanks for the info newgradsd! I hope to follow up with them tomorrow... Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! Knew you would! It took CA about a week to post mine on their website. Since CO isn't as bombarded with new grads, it may be sooner for you...

   Hey newgradsd! Thanks for the info! Do you mind if you share the name of your license specialist? Maybe I can talk to her... 86% of new grad nurses pass the first time around!!! I think you'll be fine. =) I know the documents said July 16, but when I...

   I'm still waiting on my endorsement. When I called the supervisor/ license specialist, they simply say that "The application says not to make any life changing decisions." And when I ask her if I'll get my endorsement by July 20th she states, "It is ...

   Hey newgradsd - sorry about your dilemmas too! I would keep calling the CO BRN and see if you can talk to the supervisor about speeding it up. And ask them how long it will take to get your RN# after the test. Looks like we're all stressing together...

    NewGradNurse2012 replied to Sitch321's topic in Colorado

    Yeah, sorry about that. It sounds like you turned your things a week earlier, and I feel as if I had one more week then things would be okay. You can always call the HR person you've been in contact with to make sure/ check next week on the CO statu...

    Calinurse, when were you planning in moving?

    NewGradNurse2012 replied to Sitch321's topic in Colorado

    I called them this morning, and I'm working on it with them, but they said the chances for wiggle room are slim. If the license is not posted on DORA before the orientation then you can't start the program. If they get enough calls/emails from people...

    NewGradNurse2012 replied to Sitch321's topic in Colorado

    I talked to the CO BRN this morning, and they said they don't normally send out temporary license unless your state takes longer than a few weeks to send in verification. I don't mean to cause any stress, but it seems to be cutting it close and I wan...

    NewGradNurse2012 replied to Sitch321's topic in Colorado

    Hey Calinurse, Thanks for your response - did CO Board say anything about needing the original license verification from California before they can issue anything? California takes forever on anything, and that's what worries me the most. The other t...

    NewGradNurse2012 replied to Sitch321's topic in Colorado

    Congratulations to all! I will be on the medicine subspecialties unit (as long as this endorsement process goes smoothly...). I'm extremely excited, but I have a major concern - I tested for California (my home state) since I didn't know whether or...
