  1. Need advice on hospitals in Denver!!

    Good luck in trying to find a job anywhere in Denver as a new grad. Forget what you hear about the nursing shortage. It doesn't exisist here.
  2. Officially a Regis student

    I guess I never provided follow-up, but earlier this summer I sent out a note on this BB about me being number 5 on Regis' wait list for their Nursing program. I just wanted to update everyone and say that I got in. In fact, I spoke to a fellow stude...
  3. Help Help Help Please!!!

    I strongly suggest you reconsider your position. It really doesn't sound like nursing school is going to "fit" into your schedule, at least not while you're here in Colorado. Wait lists are usually long; acceptance rates are quite low and VERY compet...
  4. Below 3.0 GPA -

    I second what tlackey said. As long as you aren't applying to Regis or CU, you should be fine. In fact, at the information session I attended at CU, there was a gentleman in the audience that had the same problem. They flat out told him that it would...
  5. On Regis' Alternate List

    I just found out that I'm 5th on the list. Guess that's better than 10th.
  6. On Regis' Alternate List

    Okay gang, I need your help in sending me positive thoughts and to keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm on Regis' stand-by list for the fall semester. I applied to both CU's and Regis' nursing programs, but only got an acceptance letter from Regis (...
  7. Plastic Surgery

    AWESOME! Thanks for the response Jules. After graduation from Nursing school, I was going to go into the ER, but now I'm thinking of the OR so I can more easily work my way into a job at a plastic surgeon's office. If anything else, the environment a...
  8. Advice for newbies in the OR

    After working 16 years in a professional office setting, the same could be said there. No matter where you go, there will ALWAYS be someone, or a group of someones, trying to trip you up....especially if they see you as a threat to them getting a pro...
  9. Plastic Surgery

    I'm soooo glad to see this post. I selected this particular part of the website to post a question regarding the same thing. I also would like to have more info regarding plastic surgeon's hiring OR nurses. I live in CO atm and I have to say that I'm...
  10. Womens interest in male nurses

    Johny1, you are my hero! If the world had a bulletin board for all to see, I would post it there. It's been a long time since I've heard such wise words coming from a guy, and I'm a guy.
  11. Anyone attending Regis?

    I've applied to both Regis and UCHSC. Waiting to hear from one of them in the next few months. I haven't noticed anyone talking about Regis. Anyone go there and what were your experiences like? TIA
  12. Accepted to UCHSC

    Congrats to all those accepted. You are among the VERY LUCKY FEW. Hope u don't take it for granted.
  13. I see a difference. Is it a coincidence?

    Howdy Gents! I've worked in the gov't for 15 years and have decided to head into nursing. It was a decision that was a few years in the making. My wife has a few more years in the gov't than I do (she's an engineer) and thanks to her income, we can a...
  14. We need a Nursing TV show

    I've seen that show. It's not bad when they actually show nurses doing something other than working the maternity ward. RANT ON: As a guy who is studying to be a nurse, it always baffles me why everytime I turn on Discovery Health it shows nurses he...
  15. Right choice?

    When I was a child I remember reading a poster in my father's place of business. It read - "If the human mind can conceive it and believe it, then the human body can achieve it." Can you do it? Of course you can....as soon as you've convinced yoursel...
