  1. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I forgot to add...if you want to take a BIO entry course that will transfer to a 4 year university, you can take Bio 111. I don't think it has any

  2. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I did not take Bio 090, I took Bio 110, so your question had me running to the class list to see what Bio 090 is. I think Bio 090 and Bio 110 are the same class, because they told us Bio 110 would...

  3. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, hostility from the other nurses, the CNAs, the unit secretary, etc. My clinical instructor tried to remedy the situation but things only improved a little. I can honestly say it was the only...

  4. how are you paying for nursing school? or how do you plan to pay for nursing school?

    bekindtokittens replied to mashamontago's topic in General Students

    My husband is in the military and he was able to sign over half of his GI Bill benefits to me. I don't qualify for FAFSA. And I haven't found any scholarships I qualify for. I'm trying my hardest...

  5. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, they are starting two programs a year now, which seems like it should cut that wait time in half! My clinicals so far have been weekdays. But some classmates who missed a clinical day had to...

  6. Taking Anat & Phys I and scared "crapless"

    bekindtokittens replied to Brian 77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The study suggestions were all great. I recommend making your own flashcards as opposed to buying pre-made ones. The action of writing the info down was a great way to study for me and helped the...

  7. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I forgot to mention that they did start a new RN program this Spring, so that's good

  8. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Here is a rundown on my first semester. Pharmacology and Nursing Fundamentals. For me, Pharmacology was by far the easier class. You're learning about different classes of drugs, how they work, side...

  9. PPCC Wait List

    bekindtokittens replied to SLS7533's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm glad I could help you both! It's nice to see some people posting from Colorado Springs. As for the classes -- Patho was interesting, but very hard. Try your best to get this one out of the way...

  10. PPCC Wait List

    bekindtokittens replied to SLS7533's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I need to correct my previous post! I actually finished my pre-reqs Fall 06, not Spring 07, oops! I took some other classes required for the nursing program during Spring 07 while I waited. These...

  11. Anyone going to PPCC?

    bekindtokittens replied to AK2282's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm going to PPCC, hello! I started the program in Fall 07, so I start my second semester

  12. PPCC Wait List

    bekindtokittens replied to SLS7533's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I got on the military spouse list when I finished my pre-reqs in Spring 07, and was able to start the program in Fall 07. They hold 10 slots for spouses. You have to write a letter of intent and...

  13. PPCC Wait List

    bekindtokittens replied to SLS7533's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi there, I attend PPCC, and am starting the second semester of the nursing program tomorrow. I was able to get into the program quicker because I am a military spouse, but most of my classmates had...

  14. Who's gonna admit it that they went into Nursing b/c of the salary?

    bekindtokittens replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    When I decided to go back to college, I had a hard time deciding on a major. I wanted an education geared towards a specific career, not the Liberal Arts degrees I'd seen so many of my friends...

  15. already in a pickle at Nursing School

    bekindtokittens replied to I'MIV's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    So your department chair didn't say that you'd never again have her as a teacher, only as a clinical instructor? It's definitely frustrating dealing with people like this. But you're causing yourself...

  16. Grey's Anatomy poly/rayon scrubs...anyone?

    bekindtokittens posted a topic in General Nursing

    I do realize that there are *many* threads about scrubs on this board, but I was unable to find any specific information about these particular scrubs. I am a student 4 weeks into my first set of...

    bekindtokittens replied to bekindtokittens's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.uniformsandscrubsbarco.com/thumbnail.asp?offset=0&deep=1&cid=362 Hopefully that link will work. Expensive, but worth it if they won't irritate my

  18. On the verge of Failing

    bekindtokittens replied to PurrRN's topic in General Students

    It is easy to dwell on the bad grades and make yourself miserable about them. I do it too. I try and remind myself that no matter how much time I spend beating myself up over them, those past grades...

  19. Discussing grades with classmates?

    bekindtokittens replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Students

    It doesn't seem like a big deal to me. My teacher usually tells us the class average when she hands back the test. I like being able to compare my grade to the average. But if someone asks me what...

  20. nurses who don't want students

    bekindtokittens replied to crimsondawn's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry you're feeling so down. I start clinicals next month and I worry about this problem, because I am too sensitive at times. I understand some nurses don't want to be teachers. By the same...

  21. Banning Crocs due to Static Electricity

    bekindtokittens replied to nurse-to-be1000's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I wonder if the weather is dry in these areas of Croc/static electricity "problems". My husband and I shock each other all the time, especially in the wintertime here (Colorado). We have to ground...

  22. Tests to enter nursing program?

    bekindtokittens replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school also administers the NET test to students who have been accepted into the nursing program, but it is not used to exclude students who fail the test. My school uses it to see where your...

  23. Ill fitting scrub tops...suggestions?

    bekindtokittens replied to bekindtokittens's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your great suggestions. I looked into all the brands you mentioned and those Urbane scrubs look like a nice fit. I tried comparing the chest to hip ratio on all the brand sizing...

  24. Ill fitting scrub tops...suggestions?

    bekindtokittens posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just started nursing school and I've been searching for decent scrubs for clinicals. I have no brand or style restrictions, just that they have to be white. I have tried on different styles of tops...

  25. Do you work night clinicals?

    bekindtokittens replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    My class is given all early clinicals except one group out of our 8 gets evenings. Days go from 6am-2pm, nights go from 2pm-10pm. I was really really hoping that my group would get that later...
