  3. books!

    GoBear replied to Stephanieee's topic in General Students

    Check Craigslist in your area, too! I bought an expensive textbook/DVD bundle from a student who had failed the previous semester and saved myself a ton of money on that

  4. Type of calculator needed for pharmacology class

    GoBear replied to Truth14's topic in General Students

    Same here, no special calculator needed. Most of the calculations are basic division and multiplication; plugging numbers into different formulas (eg calculation drip rate and how many milliliters to...

  5. Vent - Uniforms!!

    GoBear replied to sh1901's topic in General Students

    "Wait..we have white pants and I wear black underwear because you can't see anything underneath." I just want to know how you can wear black underwear under white and not have it visible Do you have...

  6. advice about scrubs purchase

    GoBear replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm the opposite of plus-sized (XS scrubs), but I do agree that the elastic-waisted pants are waaaaay better for ANYbody, of any weight. The tie-waist ones are a huge

  7. Nursing school weight gain

    GoBear replied to rocket2010's topic in General Students

    "read this carefully. write it down. lock in into your longterm memory bank. EAT LESS, MOVE MORE." And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the golden nugget of truth! I gained nothing during my first...

  8. What does it mean to be put on a waiting list?

    GoBear replied to ysosa1's topic in General Students

    I was on the wait list for about 33 months before I received my spot. Most people in my class (of 42) were on the list for even longer...about 36-40

  9. Ironing your Scrubs

    GoBear replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

    I agree with everybody who said to 1) just hang them up right out of the dryer, 2) throw them back in the dryer with a damp washcloth if they're slightly wrinkled, or 3) use Downy Wrinkle Release...

  10. When you are in NS do you do anything during the summer?

    GoBear replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Nothing required of us, though we have an informal "reading group" formed; we plan to read most (or all) of our med/surg stuff, and possibly some of the OB/peds text, so we'll be somewhat prepared for...

  11. Waiting Lists

    GoBear replied to colta's topic in General Students

    42 people on the waitlist...that's ALL? :wink2: I was #1104 on our waitlist and was on it for three months shy of three years when I got my spot. When I got on the list, they were only up to...

  12. Kind of bummed...My 4.0 is ruined

    GoBear replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    Hey there GeneralJinjur, nice to see you here again :heartbeat Happy snow day! Kristen, that stinks about losing the A! In the program I'm in, an A is 93% and higher...which is different from all...

  13. Wearing scrubs to nursing school?

    GoBear replied to jpearl119's topic in General Students

    We have to wear ours to lab and clinicals, but not to lecture or

  14. uniform and shoes help!

    GoBear replied to pe5322's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thank goodness our color is purple! Though I look like a little purple stick walking around in the scrubs LOL! Since you have to wear white, make sure to have nude-colored bras and underwear! As for...

  15. Where can I take courses online?

    GoBear replied to pinkmckee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've taken all my pre-reqs online at CCCOnline.org. It's a Colorado-based community college system, but we've had students from other states in several of my classes. You will need to check with...

  16. Arapahoe CC Spring 2009...who's with me?

    GoBear replied to GoBear's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Denise, nice to "meet" you :) I have three children also! See you a week from

  17. Arapahoe CC Spring 2009...who's with me?

    GoBear posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm in for Spring 2009! That means I will have been on the wait list for about 33 months by the time classes start :wink2: Who is in with me? I met a few people at my CPR class this past weekend,...

  18. ACC Waitlist Update

    GoBear replied to GeneralJinjur's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm 1104 and got on the list in May 2006. I have all my pre-reqs done so I'm taking pathophysio and MAT 103 this fall to get ahead of the game. I think I'll be in the class starting January

  19. Waitlist Question for Community College Students

    GoBear replied to HGJ78's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Believe me, she wasn't much of a contact :angryfire I was always scared to call her because she was soooo grumpy all the time, and I was afraid she was going to get ticked at me and somehow "lose" my...

  20. Waitlist Question for Community College Students

    GoBear replied to HGJ78's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I thought CCC was entirely OUT of the process, ever since the schools took over their own waitlists again...? I got on the CCC list in May of 2006 and could NOT get the woman in charge to give me a...

  21. Statistics

    GoBear replied to JaxiaKiley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did anybody take stats online? I signed up in August but dropped it (before the class even started) because I received a e-mail pretest...which I failed miserably LOL! But I'm enrolled again for...

  22. ACC - Nursing Program

    GoBear replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There's no option but this wait list -- all the CCs in the metro area are under the same wait list with the CCCS (Colorado Community College System) program. You can select I believe three programs...

  23. ACC - Nursing Program

    GoBear replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I wish I could enroll there, but it's impossible with my kids' schedules, and a husband that's gone about 75 hours a week. I'll have to personally stick with paying out the nose for a BSN program...

  24. ACC - Nursing Program

    GoBear replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It's ridiculous how poorly-run the whole wait list thing seems. I've gone ahead and applied for UCHSC and will probably also apply at DSON since I already have a B.S. I just wanted to try to go the...

  25. ACC - Nursing Program

    GoBear replied to anglenwhiteshoes's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm just so frustrated with the CCCS wait list situation, regardless of whether or not I need two more classes I finished the wait list prereqs in May, immediately updated my file and called to get...
