Im currently just a student, but I have done clinicals at Sky Ridge on the med-surg floor. I did enjoy working there and the staff was really nice, but would have to agree that the turn over is high there from talking to the nurses. If you are look...

I have to say finishing up my first semester tomorrow at my clinicals, it has been absolultely wonderful that we not only learn things but we go out into the field and put them to use right away. The program is tough but the teachers are not heartle...

I had been waiting since 2003 my waitlist number was 508. Believe it or not there maybe a lot of people before you but a lot of them will either look elsewhere or drop out. I had heard there were about 40-50 people in front of me that went elsewher...

I'm currently in the 1st semester nursing program at ACC. Unless they change things which is known to happen and I'm almost positive they said the up comming classes will have to also take another class but they did not tell us what class since we ...

I agree with TBird. I am in the nursing program at the moment and I wish they would of required us to become CNA's first. For one, first day of clinicals for us we we're to follow around CNA's and help them. The most we could do to help them was ta...

Totally understand where your coming from. In our class we have a saying C = RN because all you need is a 77% to pass which is a C. Alot of us have said goodbye to those A's we were so use to getting. I know for some taping lectures seem to work,...

WOOT I finally did it! Was 100% on the dot with my BP reading and did great with my other check offs.

Hello all, I usually don't post often, but I guess for some reason I felt compelled to do so just to let some of my frustration out. I am currently in week 4 of my first semester of nursing school and I hate to say but I'm starting to feel like mayb...

I wish going part time was a choice at my school but unfortunately its not or I would diffinately be doing that. That would make things so much easier balancing real life and school. Things are going much better and I'm trying to stay positive. I s...

Thank you all so much for posting! Normally I'm not the type to let something get me down, usually I just try harder and get it right the next time. I went and asked another instructor to help me and see if I could check her bp while she listened al...

I just got into the nursing program at ACC this year, what I did in the remainder of my wait time was take things that could be transfered to a 4 yr school like University of Colorado Health Science Center. I figured if I'm waiting to get in I might...

You are so not alone. I too have been thinking the same thing to myself lately. I've waited so long to do this and I've wanted to be a nurse for as long as I can remember but now actually being in classes sometimes I feel so inadequate. I have two...

There are some schools here in CO where they don't have waitlists, but they have up to 600 applicants each year to apply for 100 positions. (CUHSC) If your not one of the lucky 100....you have to keep reapplying until you get in. So its either wait ...

check out http://www.salary.com It will tell you an aprox amt that CNA's make. I personally haven't seen a big demand for CNA's but that is just looking at the classified ads in the Denver post. Good Luck!

Im currently waitlisted at 508 at Arapahoe Community College in Littleton. So it will take me about 5 yrs to get in to the RN program just to get my associates degree. From what I've heard most schools in the metro area have a waiting list that lon...

Hi Lorrenej, How do you like working in Lincoln? I've been so tempted to move back to NE after I finish my BSN. If I do move back I would diffinately move to Lincoln.

hello, i don't post often, but i just wanted to send out a general question. i've noticed lately in my classes that many people are rn's or cna's and are going to get their bsn's. im starting to feel out of the loop because i have no nursing experi...

Thanks! :rotfl: heheee

im a nursing student, but i currently reside in colorado. im originally from so sioux city ne :) just wanted to post and say....go huskers!!!! :chuckle :)

well its not that i can really "afford" the private school route, it just means i'll have to take out more loans *sigh* thanks for the advice rnkittykat... i don't want work to take away from my study time. i quit my job so i could go to school...

thanks for all your responses.... i still might get my cna this summer just so i can get a job. i'm #508 on the waitlist so god knows when i'll get in to the nursing program. right now im exploring alternative school because the school i curre...

thanks for the advice. i guess i would assume they would teach those types of things in nursing classes as well.

i took it last semester. i found it extremely useful for all my bio classes. i agree that it should be taken before any a&p classes because all the meanings of the words basically reflect on the function or location of body parts. i took it on...
