Good NIGHT, you two. Find way better ways to expend your energy, please! Yeesh!

I have to be honest...I was ready to dive in head first and it was only the wait-list at ACC that slowed me down. I was going to get my credits together to apply to CU, but the wind has kind of gone out of my sails. The more I look into it, the mor...

I'm not even in nursing school, so I could be completely wrong on this, but...the job market for new grads is dismal here. The link above is to the "Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence" which, as far as I can tell, is funded largely by the hospit...

I know we're not supposed to name names, so I'll stick with initials. I took it through ACC. TH, was the instructor. Nightmare. Complete and total. I withdrew rather than have it tank my GPA. The second time signed up (again through ACC) MS wa...

I took it online as well. NOT easy. It was the toughest online class I've taken. My experience was that if I didn't know the answer to a quiz question, there is very little time to look it up. Not easy, but it can be done! Good luck!

I can't really tell you anything about either school, but I would say that I, personally, would not choose to live in the Springs if I was going to school in Pueblo. During good weather it's not a horrible drive, but during snow/ice, it can be reall...

If you are open to living anywhere, the southeast corner of the state is usually hurting for medical people. However, much of the southeast corner of the state looks like Kansas. I grew up in Canon City...I have no idea if they need nurses and I've...

Congratulations! I was accepted to the nursing program there when it was the University of Southern Colorado in the early 80's. I got distracted by my current profession and am now working on getting back into nursing school. I haven't been bac...

Thanks for the reply, CalebMommy! Here's part of the email I got back from ACC: >> All candidates who had applied to the program and received a waitlist number by the "cut-off date" of December 19, 2008 will, in good faith, be offered admissio...

Calebmommy, I'm dying to know what school you go to!!!!! I attend ACC. This is the info I got from them recently: >>> Your waitlist number will not change. ACC enrolls twice per year; one group in the Spring and the second in the Fall. T...

All I know for certain is in regards to ACC...I don't even know if it applies to all the Front Range CCs or not. Very frustrating, I know! The ACC info: https://allnurses.com/forums/f138/arapahoe-community-college-new-wait-list-requirements-34773...

Hate to be a downer, but I wouldn't be able to do it every day. It's a four lane (badly maintained) road most of the way, heavily traveled by 18-wheelers, and one of the more dangerous stretches of highway in the state. JMO, but...I would approach...

And lucky to be alive, if I had been in the room. :chuckle

I think we have a winner for that brain transplant.

Hopefully not within earshot of the loved one!

Okay, I'm a moron. My wishful thinking prevented me from reading this logically. ;-) I misunderstood...they are starting the competitive selection process after everyone who is currently on the waitlist has gotten into the program. That means it'...

HOLY MOLEY! I don't know why I didn't get the email on this sent to my ACC account...I've emailed them to find why. I am done with my pre-reqs! I am also a screamingly happy girl that you posted this! Thank you so much for posting this info...I'm ...

I was registered for patho through Arapahoe Community College this semester. I was taking it online. I know we're not supposed to post names here, but I hope initials are okay...ANY class in the ACC biology department that has T.H. connected with i...

The math concern aside, if you're getting into nursing because of the pay, you likely won't make it through your first couple of semesters of school.

I was put on birth control pills for the same reason, and my mother had an absolute COW. And I was 19 years old! Best of luck...with such a caring mama she'll be fine!

How funny...I was just about to suggest Canon City and then saw micco's post! I grew up in Canon. It's much larger now than it was when I lived there (I graduated from high school in '79) but it's a great size and a great little town. The winters ...

This is so interesting to me...I always swore that my Mom became way more funny and had a far better sense of humor as her dementia deepened than she ever did when I was a kid. It's interesting to see that maybe changes like that really do happen. M...

I have nothing to offer but my gratitude. People like you made my Mom's final years more bearable. God bless you!!!!!

And some of us have the joy of just being yeasty people. I seem to be very susceptible to it, unfortunately, and know the first warning signs of thrush very well. Hormonal changes can really impact the ability of the yeasties to take over. Some wo...

My Dad was in the hospital a few months ago...I saw a guy on the corner out in front of the building with cigarette in one hand and his IV stand in the other. I just had to walk over to him and ask if the hospital staff knew he was out there. He sa...
