2. Denver jobs for new grads

   Penny8611 replied to verklempt's topic in Colorado

   I have to be honest...I was ready to dive in head first and it was only the wait-list at ACC that slowed me down. I was going to get my credits together to apply to CU, but the wind has kind of gone out of my sails. The more I look into it, the mor...

3. Denver jobs for new grads

   Penny8611 replied to verklempt's topic in Colorado

   I'm not even in nursing school, so I could be completely wrong on this, but...the job market for new grads is dismal here. The link above is to the "Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence" which, as far as I can tell, is funded largely by the hospit...

4. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

   Penny8611 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

   I know we're not supposed to name names, so I'll stick with initials. I took it through ACC. TH, was the instructor. Nightmare. Complete and total. I withdrew rather than have it tank my GPA. The second time signed up (again through ACC) MS wa...

5. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

   I took it online as well. NOT easy. It was the toughest online class I've taken. My experience was that if I didn't know the answer to a quiz question, there is very little time to look it up. Not easy, but it can be done! Good luck!

6. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

   Penny8611 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

   I can't really tell you anything about either school, but I would say that I, personally, would not choose to live in the Springs if I was going to school in Pueblo. During good weather it's not a horrible drive, but during snow/ice, it can be reall...

7. new grad-Colorado Springs

   Penny8611 replied to angelstrings's topic in Colorado

   If you are open to living anywhere, the southeast corner of the state is usually hurting for medical people. However, much of the southeast corner of the state looks like Kansas. I grew up in Canon City...I have no idea if they need nurses and I've...

8. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

   Penny8611 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

   Congratulations! I was accepted to the nursing program there when it was the University of Southern Colorado in the early 80's. I got distracted by my current profession and am now working on getting back into nursing school. I haven't been bac...

9. can't believe what they are doing ..

   Penny8611 replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado

   Thanks for the reply, CalebMommy! Here's part of the email I got back from ACC: >> All candidates who had applied to the program and received a waitlist number by the "cut-off date" of December 19, 2008 will, in good faith, be offered admissio...

    Penny8611 replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado

    Calebmommy, I'm dying to know what school you go to!!!!! I attend ACC. This is the info I got from them recently: >>> Your waitlist number will not change. ACC enrolls twice per year; one group in the Spring and the second in the Fall. T...

11. Anyone hear the waitlist is changing? Again?

    Penny8611 replied to CBsMommy's topic in Colorado

    All I know for certain is in regards to ACC...I don't even know if it applies to all the Front Range CCs or not. Very frustrating, I know! The ACC info: https://allnurses.com/forums/f138/arapahoe-community-college-new-wait-list-requirements-34773...

12. Drive from Ft Collins to Denver?

    Penny8611 replied to Cmunst45636's topic in Colorado

    Hate to be a downer, but I wouldn't be able to do it every day. It's a four lane (badly maintained) road most of the way, heavily traveled by 18-wheelers, and one of the more dangerous stretches of highway in the state. JMO, but...I would approach...
