APN/RXN in Colorado

Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:28:26 +0000

Hi!

Anyone have any idea how long APN licensure is taking? It's been ~2 months and DORA is impossible to contact.

Also, do you HAVE to have 3 years experience to be eligible for the mentorship required for RXN? I can't get an answer from DORA, of course!

Thanks!

NCLEX Help

Fri, 21 Apr 2023 18:07:56 +0000

I live out of state and am trying to sign up for the NCLEX in Colorado, I signed up via Pearson and got the acknowledgment of Registration but then licensure board states I need to have graduated before I can fill out an application. I graduate in about 3 weeks so is it an issue that I wait to fill out my application or will Pearson need to reregister? I tried calling the Nursing Licensure Board but couldn't get through, sent them an email as well but wanted to see if anyone had any experience with this?

Online RN in CO?

Thu, 26 May 2022 01:23:39 +0000

Does anyone know of a legitimate entry-level RN program (can be Associates, Bachelor's, or Master's) that is acceptable for Colorado residents? I have a previous bachelor's and master's degree in another subject.

We have some great traditional in-person programs here in Colorado, but I would LOVE to find a program where the coursework is done virtually, with local clinicals as I homeschool my babies.

Thank you for your input and ideas!

Possible to take a trip first semester of NP school

Wed, 15 Feb 2023 07:22:07 +0000

Hi! I applied for NP school that will start in Fall 2023. I also learned recently that my husband won a once in a lifetime all expenses paid trip to go backpack Jeju Island in Korea in October. I would like to go with him, and he really wants me to go too. We'd be gone a total of 7 days. Curious for those who have been in or done NP school, is it feasible to take a week long trip? I imagine I will complete the week's assignment before we depart. Thanks!

AMB-BC or CRNI certification??

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 17:30:00 +0000

Hello,

I am planning on getting a certification this year but am having a hard time deciding between the Ambulatory Care Nursing Certificate (AMB-BC) and the Certified Registered Nurse Infusion (CRNI) one. I work at an ambulatory infusion center so the CRNI one was what I had originally planned on, but I see that a lot of infusion nurses have the AMB-BC. I can't seem to find any exam content for AMB-BC though so I just don't know if it would be a better fit. Anyone out there have advice for me?

Thank you!!

Prospective FNP student - Homeless Clinic Nursing

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 22:02:13 +0000

Hello! I am a new grad nurse currently working on a medical telemetry progressive care unit. I chose this unit because I felt it would be a good foundation for a future FNP working with underserved populations, specially at our local homeless clinic. Has anyone gone down a similar path ? I would be curious to hear your thoughts. Should I also gain ER experience ? How long should I work on the floor before going for my FNP? Thank you for your thoughts !

Direct patient care requirement for BSN

Fri, 23 Dec 2022 16:06:28 +0000

Compliments of the season to all.

I am pursuing an accelerated BSN, and one of the requirements I need is direct patient care pertinent to the field of nursing. These skills need to include taking vital signs, assisting with ambulation and other activities of daily life, interacting with nurses and other care team members, and serving as a patient advocate.

I was previously a Navy Corpsman and a surgical technician, but that was about twelve years ago. I also recently completed all of the course requirements for CU UCAN.

Is getting a CNA my best option, or can I get patient care experience volunteering at a clinic/ hospital?

Kind regards,

surge

PACU Sky Ridge Medical Center

Wed, 09 Feb 2022 06:01:24 +0000

Can anyone tell me anything about working in the PACU at Sky Ridge medical center? I am currently an ICU RN who would like to transfer into PACU, and am wondering if this would be a good transfer for me or if I should apply for jobs within Centura, UCHealth, SCL, or Denver Health. Any info is helpful!! Specifically, what is the schedule like? Weekend requirements? Management? Teamwork? I just don’t want to get myself into another job that I really don’t like and doesn’t treat me well.

Fri, 26 Dec 2014 05:19:30 +0000

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some insight from current or recent employees of Healthone (preferably Swedish) or Centura Health (possibly Castle Rock Adventist). I was wondering if anyone could give me a better insight to these places...perhaps covering the following topics

1) pay (base/differential/sign-ons?)

2) benefits

3) work environment

4) management

5) do you like/dislike where you work(ed)

Thank you so very much for your help!!!
