I am from a small farming town outside of Spokane Washington but I live in Colorado now and I was talking to a friend of mine that is also from Spokane(lives in Denver) and she mentioned that SCC didn't have a waitlist:eek: Is that true??? I was sor...

I understand nothing is easy so I should of probably used another words. It just hurts when you were next in line and then the rug gets pulled out of under you. Yes, my preqes gpa is great but now they added things like CNA(which will take around 6-9...

I was wondering if anyone goes there or has any info? I tried to call and they wouldn't give me any info at all and I sort of felt as if I was calling a call center:confused: I know some of these(for profit) schools don't like to really give you any ...

I am hoping that someone can give me some feedback on what to do....right now I feel like I am pretty lost I am done with all my pre-reqs and got on the wait list but as it looks right now unless I am willing to move outside of Denver I am looking ...

As a RN I would like to put a couple years in on a Med-Surg floor to get a feel of things. For a long time I thought I wanted to work in the ICU but lots of different areas spark my interest.

Thanks so much!!! If you don't mind me asking was it hard for you to find a job after school? Also what is usually the pay for a beginning tech and does it matter if it is a diploma or AA? I ask because there is a couple programs that offer both.

As a Pharm tech I have told that it would probably be Walgreens. I know that everyone wants to work in a hospital but I have been told that unless you have experience it isn't going to happen. I believe Walgreens starts out about $10-12hr. When it c...

I have asked this before but does anyone know actually someone who has been through the whole program and is working?

I think I might of miss understood you :) you don't HAVE to take BIO 105/106 you can get right into BIO 201 if you have taken a BIO before like in High School or you can ask a counselor to sign off you going right in. I was able to go right in but kn...

Is there any Platt grads out there that can give feedback? I know of a couple people in their 1st couple of semesters but no one after that. I am wondering the drop out rate :err:

You can't do them at the same time and honestly it would be really really if not impossible to get a good grade in taking both at the same time. I did amazing in BIO 106but BIO 201 is kicking my butt and is really demanding more then I could of ever ...

Commuter that is exactly what I felt with the slippery slope. I just could see it hurting nurses harder then most doctor's I don't know why but I really do.

what part of WA :) I am from WA originally and grew up there:)

OK, I know everyone goes into nursing for different reasons and I will be the 1st to say with any career you should look at the salary range and job market. With that said I am still shocked with some of the things some people say:uhoh3: I was lookin...

That makes sense Communter I thought you were in Texas LOL did you move? I do agree with you about moving people complain about the longgggg wait list in the Denver area but if they are willing to commute 2+ hrs or move out of town Colorado has plent...

Commuter I was talking to a friend of mine tonight who said the same thing why is it so hard in California to bridge?

I have never heard of them before where are they?

No advice but I would just call the then directly and just ask :) You could always not give your name and just ask tons of questions. GL!
