    darlanow replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I love the wink about the cost... There's a commercial out right now on the radio that says something like, "And Regis is not as expensive as you'd think..." Even my daughter (age 10) now replies to...

  7. Plan B

    darlanow replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    darlanow replied to allthingsbright's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Darla checking in... down 1.8 lb, but that may be b/c period over rather than any excellent work on my part. I have been watching portions and asking myself, "Are you really hungry or eating for...

  14. Background check/drug screen before clinicals

    darlanow replied to RANCH GIRL's topic in General Students

    For my program (Regis, Denver CO), not only was a background check required, but a physical and, of course, those immunization cards. Since I was born in the dark ages before parents kept such tidy...

    darlanow replied to Rosaleebear's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    darlanow replied to NurseguyFL's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a middle aged woman in the midst of a career change from clinical social work to nursing. To see if I'd even like the field, I got my CNA and EMT-B along with the pre-reqs (I call it being...

  19. Cant find schools! Help!

    darlanow replied to Razorbak's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You're right about the long lists for positions in the Community College ADN programs (esp. in the Denver area where I live). You're eligible to test for LPN after completing the first year, but it's...

  22. Bradley Birth instructor equates nursing with 'maid service'

    darlanow replied to Merovingienne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    darlanow replied to Merovingienne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    darlanow replied to Merovingienne's topic in Ob/Gyn
