1. Colorado Mesa University BSN Spring 2018

   rock hopper posted a topic in Colorado

   Anyone else applying here? It seems to be one of very few schools in the state that admit in the Spring. Does anyone have any idea of how stringent their admission process is, or if they consider out of state students? It looks like they only look ...

   rock hopper replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in Colorado

   I want to say it was just a few weeks after the deadline to apply like they had mentioned.

3. Denver School of Nursing - BSN January 2018 applicants

   rock hopper replied to LPNwithBIGdreams's topic in Colorado

   I had a 2.65, all prereqs, previous BS degree and got an interview. Unfortunately had to cancel as I ultimately couldn't swing the massive tuition burden that comes with it. Good luck to everyone, I wish I could join you

4. Applying to CC Nursing Programs in other states...a long shot?

   rock hopper posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Im moving from one state to another with family and want to start a degree in nursing in the spring, so will be applying very shortly. I am trying to apply as an out of state student with a Bachelors degree. Does anyone know if it is fairly difficult...

5. Jobs during nursing school?

   rock hopper replied to marisa.m's topic in General Students

   Im not in nursing school yet, but in CC you get your LPN on your way to your ADN, no? So couldn't you conceivably work as an LPN on a couple nights/weekends while in nursing school if you got your LPN cert? I have also worked as a scribe and would hi...

6. Jobs before applying to nursing school

   rock hopper replied to onelovefob's topic in Pre-Nursing

   EMT? I'm considering getting my EMT-B this Fall before starting nursing school in the Spring. My nursing school is hella easy the first semester (basically all classes i have already taken at uni) so I figure that I could work a bit to pay rent.

7. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

   rock hopper replied to PlentyOfMurses's topic in Male Students

   Get involved in activities you enjoy in your community...Meetup.com has an awesome app which creates groups to do some fun stuff like outdoor activities, coding, fitness, sports and anything else you could think of. Get yourself out there. Also i'm ...

8. If you could redo it....would you choose nursing?

   rock hopper replied to ICURNPA92's topic in General Nursing

   Some encouraging and discouraging posts here from a perspective of a prospective nursing student. I suppose that I have been floundering on obsessively looking over career choice websites or trying to find something that pays decent and doesn't requ...

9. Summer 2017 Chat

   rock hopper replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   There is a small calculator on the upper right hand portion of the computer screen that you can use (which I ironically forgot about while working out multiple number-crunching problems). Reading through the ATI Test Prep booklet from Amazon, I was s...

10. Summer 2017 Chat

    rock hopper replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Just took the TEAS for the first time. Virtually no study apart from briefly (15 min ) looking over the science section. Got a 72.7 % on first try which apparently is about average. Best scores were in math and reading. Science section was toughest b...

11. Semester is over / Psychology question

    rock hopper replied to littleboyboo's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Psychology was a cakewalk, and I was a pretty bad student when I got my degree in it. I did enjoy it immensely though.

12. Denver LPN Concorde

    rock hopper replied to Ryandoug72's topic in School Programs

    I want to get more opinions on Concorde too. I am considering applying for the Denver location and either doing LPN or ADN. I suppose it would make more sense to go the ADN route. Lady on the phone told me there basically are no prereqs to get in, w...

13. Colorado LPN or more lenient ADN Schools

    rock hopper posted a topic in Colorado

    Hello all, It's been awhile since ive posted but my family is moving to Colorado and i will be moving to be closer to them as they are not in the best health. I am going from a career of construction/business to nursing, with a degree in Psychology (...

14. Advice on current situation

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thank you for the responses. I was just notified that the D i received in Micro will disqualify me from the BSN Nursing program I was looking into. I suppose I should really consider the CC route. My family is moving to Colorado so I will be applyi...

    I've already mentioned the 55k tuition as my reason for turning that school down.
