  3. Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    TemperStripe replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've had lots of problems with FRCC, too. I am waitlisted like everyone else (for over a year now,) but then randomly a few weeks ago, I got an email about being removed from the waitlist since they...

  4. Accepted-Now having second thoughts

    TemperStripe replied to veronica123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear you! And, I totally second your thoughts. I start school in June and am about to finish my gig here in corporate america. I had my meltdown this past Sunday night and ended up taking a day off...

  5. UCDHSC or Regis? Need Your Opinion, Please!

    TemperStripe replied to TKBSN2b's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I will be attending UCHSC in June...I looked at Regis but the cost was just not reasonable so I ended up not even applying. Also, private schools are sometimes less inclined (or simply have less...

    TemperStripe posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

  20. Dissecting a sheep's brain?

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

    TemperStripe replied to TemperStripe's topic in Colorado Nursing
