  1. UCHSC supply list?

    TemperStripe replied to TemperStripe's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I can't say for sure if cargo scrub pants are okay but I did buy my own separate black pants to wear with the top (which you have to have, and it's cheaper to get it from school rather than get it...

  2. RTD Light Rail

    TemperStripe replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I live north of Denver and go to school in Aurora at UCHSC. I take the bus every single time I go down there and also to almost all of my clinicals. In fact, I am almost morally opposed to driving...

  3. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    TemperStripe replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm in the accelerated BSN, graduating in December 2008 (!) and I feel like I've gotten a fantastic education. Quite frankly, I couldn't ask for anything more. Sure, not everything is perfect but show...

  4. Thoughts on CO?

    TemperStripe replied to MovingRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm originally from Kansas City, Missouri (lived there for 17 years) and have lived in Colorado (near Boulder) for about three years. I do NOT miss the craptastic midwestern weather, that's for sure....

  5. Anyone use meditation?

    TemperStripe posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm starting nursing school on Monday, so needless to say, I'm feeling some tension (I say this after cleaning and organizing for the last two hours.) I just tried my free demo CD from Holosync...

  7. Question for UCDHSC Students on Classes

    TemperStripe replied to TKBSN2b's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Happy to help, and sorry for my super slow response! If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know. It's exciting to see the new class of students--that was me not too long ago and I had...

  8. Question for UCDHSC Students on Classes

    TemperStripe replied to TKBSN2b's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi, Here's my $.02 as a current UCHSC (accel) student. It's not a problem taking the labs several days after the lecture. My schedule was a bit different than yours (I took health assessment in the...

  10. Anxiety/sleep problems during school

    TemperStripe posted a topic in General Students

    I'm about to start my 2nd semester of school. I absolutely love it. In fact, I told someone yesterday I wished I could stay in nursing school for the rest of my life. But I digress... While I do love...

  11. How to avoid burnout (kinda long)

    TemperStripe posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm almost a nursing student. (Starting in June, only 145 days left but who's counting?) I don't know if I've had a string of bad luck or what, but I've had lots of jobs (5 jobs last year, and I have...

  12. How to avoid burnout (kinda long)

    TemperStripe replied to TemperStripe's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! I started nursing school last week, and also quit my old job that was making me crazy. When I'm working full time again, I'm going to be focusing hard on boundaries...

  13. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    TemperStripe replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely. It's a symbiotic relationship. Each profession offers different things, one is not better than the other, and one cannot function without the other. You make your choices based on your...

  14. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    TemperStripe replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um, no! Just because we have different priorities/interests/whatever doesn't make you less of a person. We need doctors,

  15. Aspiring Nurses: Why not Med School??

    TemperStripe replied to muurman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought about med school pretty seriously when I was younger. Even thought about one of those direct-entry 6 year programs...life happened, I ended up studying technical theatre for about 3 years...

  16. Anyone else moving into the "Nursing Student" forum next week?

    TemperStripe replied to meggers628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm "moving" on June 4th, as well! See you

  17. What are the huge "DO NOT EVER DO" things that new nurses need to know about? calling

    TemperStripe replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused...can you explain this a little more?

  18. A nurse's week story

    TemperStripe replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely, and well said. My post was definitely not specific enough. This is totally the

  19. A nurse's week story

    TemperStripe replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    Happy Nurses Week, everyone! To respond to the above postings, I don't think it has to do with nurses being afraid to talk about money. I think it has to do with women in general being afraid to talk...

  20. Where do you buy your textbook?

    TemperStripe replied to eve5483's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I usually research campusbooks.com which lets you compare prices at a few difference places. It's not always completely up to date, though, so on my own, I check ebay, half.com, abebooks.com, and...

    TemperStripe replied to katiebugg's topic in General Nursing

  22. Outdated Mosby's-Should I Get A New One?

    TemperStripe posted a topic in General Students

    I ordered a Mosby's Diagnostic & Lab Test Reference book. I got the 7th Edition from 2005. It appears there are newer versions. Should I get the newest or does it really

  23. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    TemperStripe replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm sure that Melina wasn't trying to offend anyone with her statement. I think what she may be saying is that it is very frustrating to those who have made higher grades to be passed up by Front...

  24. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    TemperStripe replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Very good point...but where is the line in the sand here? We could tighten the admissions requirements at the risk of losing some very able-bodied students. I do wish they would get rid of the...

  25. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    TemperStripe replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree, it's definitely frustrating, but I do think community colleges serve a certain purpose in this instance. They are there for people who otherwise couldn't afford or choose not to pay the...
