   Hi everyone! I have a question I need help with. I am an LPN who wants to be an RN. I have already spent 30K on my prereqs and first year and a half of nursing school for an ADN. Unfortunately I had to withdraw from my community college due to a fami...

3. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

   studentnurse3 replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

   Vanderth, I agree... I don't know where the defensiveness is coming from either. I, like you, am just trying to get the word out that if any current or future DSON or even Platt College students want to work at Children's or University then they bet...

4. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

   studentnurse3 replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

   This accredidation can take years is the point. Right now it does not matter that they are in the "process" of getting this. The fact is that University and Childrens WILL NOT hire these grads at this time. They need to have ALL the accredidations i...

5. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

   studentnurse3 replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

   I work at Children's and it is now their policy that they WILL NOT hire anyone from DSON or Platte College as they are not fully accredited. I personally know of two DSON graduates who did get hired but they were lucky because they got hired just be...

   studentnurse3 posted a topic in Career Support

   For any of you out there who work the 3-11 shift whether as a nurse or as a CNA or unit secretary, do you feel that you don't get to see your kids as often because of this shift? Does this shift affect your relationships with your kids and husband/wi...

9. Anyone starting at DSON in April 2008 for the ADN courses?

   studentnurse3 replied to Trixy613's topic in Colorado

   Trixy819: That is very interesting if it is true!! I currently am working on my last prereq. and if DSON now allows you to attend while you are completing the prereqs then maybe I could start there earlier than I thought. When you find more informati...

    studentnurse3 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi RNs! I have a question for you that has been bugging me since I've been taking my elementary algebra class. In order to be a nurse do you need to be very good in the math area? General math I am fine with but any math that involves algebra I am ju...

14. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    studentnurse3 replied to Melina's topic in Colorado

    I totally understand and I wasn't offended by what she said and I certainly wasn't trying to offend anyone either. My point was that passing over people with Cs isn't fair to them either. Just because someone enters the program with lower grades than...

15. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    studentnurse3 replied to Melina's topic in Colorado

    That's not necessarily true, I have a friend who has been a nurse for 12 years and she got Cs in her science courses and she did perfectly fine in school. The Cs she received did not hurt her one bit. She is a superb nurse by the way.
