  1. Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

    Satori77 replied to girtenbt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just loved this post, thank you! As for my 2 cents...I just finished my last day of clinicals in my CNA class, which I started 3 weeks ago. I have two kids, two dogs, and have worked as a vet tech...

  2. CNA job in CO

    Satori77 replied to amy874's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Probably depends on where in Colorado you are looking at working. I am taking a CNA class up in Fort Collins. I don't expect to be hired on at a hospital, you pretty much need 6 months to a year...

  3. Scared to Touch Residents

    Satori77 replied to Blueroses91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you for posting this. I am in my CNA class now, and very scared to touch people. Or, I should say, scared to hurt people. I don't want to do anything wrong and harm a resident. Glad to know...

  4. My first day of CNA class

    Satori77 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Is today! And I am so nervous. The last month and a half I have been doing training through the county workforce center. They have been teaching classes on how to find jobs, how to interview,...

  5. Nurse Vs Daughter! Help Me!!!

    Satori77 replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad you reconnected with your brother, and hope you do get in touch with your father. I had a falling out with my mother (actually two of them). The last one was a year ago. I was finally...

  6. Unsafe environment

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have recently started a CNA training class. Before we actually do class time though, all the studients (there are 9 of us) are going through internships/job shadowing at local facilities. Two...

  7. Unsafe environment

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in General Nursing

    Ok thanks, I will pass this info along. I know my one classmate really wants to report them, and wasn't sure how to do it. I don't think I should, because I wasn't there and didn't witness any of...

  8. UNC - 2011 start

    Satori77 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Thanks for posting this! This is my first choice in nursing school. I just moved to Fort Collins this past year (I love it!), and looked into FRCC and UNC. Both good schools, but since so many...

  9. Chemistry online--good or bad idea?

    Satori77 replied to DenRN71's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have wanted to take some of these pre-req's online, and love the idea of doing the science ones at home. But I have also worried about the money. I know if you do CCOnline, you have to register...

  10. Anyone do a CNA program in the summer?

    Satori77 replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just moved up to Fort Collins (loving it!) and thinking about taking the CNA class at Front Range CC. It is supposed to be a good school, and since I missed te spring semester deadline, I am...

  12. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Satori77 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I haven't been there, but Ihave heard it is a very competitive school. But a very good school (one of my top choices). I know even with a BS you need certain prereqs...A&P I and II, micro and...

  14. Poudre Valley Hospital

    Satori77 replied to linden-nurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    So is it pretty much impossible to get any type of position with them right out of school? Even med/surg? What about other hospitals in that area? Is there anywhere that a nurse can get a job in Ft...

  15. When do you think this hiring freeze will end?

    Satori77 replied to Divest's topic in General Nursing

    It would be nice to have a clearcut answer to this. I have been working for the last few years (part time, and I had a kid) working on prereqs...now I don't even think I want to go to nursing school....

  16. Poudre Valley Hospital

    Satori77 replied to linden-nurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Me and my family are moving to Ft Collins next month. Great area, great schools (we have 2 kids) and closer for my husband to work. But I am discouraged by the (seemingly) lack of jobs up there. I...

  17. Frustrated...Is it even worth it??

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am thinking about just giving up on nursing. All the schools are changing admittance, it is even harder (and longer) to get in. Community colleges are revamping. I was going to try and get into...

    Satori77 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    This has been a great thread, just wanted to bump it up so more people will post about their experiences. I love hearing all the school stories. Thanks to everyone who has

  19. Looking for a hospital

    Satori77 replied to typoagain's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, forgot to add that. One of the reasons I would eventually want to get my BSN, because I would love to work at Children's. Such a great place to work, been to several with my kids (most recently...

  20. Looking for a hospital

    Satori77 replied to typoagain's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I like where I live, in Parker. It is south of Denver, relatively small, though has been getting bigger the last few years. A little more expensive than some areas as well. We have Parker Adventist...

  21. can't believe what they are doing ..

    Satori77 replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There is also a big shortage of nursing instructors, you have to take that into consideration. Look at any nursing program and I bet they will have openings for teachers. And the number of wannabe...

  22. LPN jobs

    Satori77 replied to ashcip's topic in Colorado Nursing

    From what I have been hearing in Colorado at least, the job market is horrible. They don't want LPN's, they don't want new grads. I am getting pretty disappointed and scared to start nursing school....

  23. NCLEX pass rates

    Satori77 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How important is this in considering a school? I am currently looking at some vocational and private school that offer an LPN program. I want to complete this first, work for awhile, then go back...

    Satori77 replied to caddismt's topic in General Nursing

    I know things like this happen every day, I know someone personally whose child was shaken by a caregiver. But I don't understand it. I never will. I have two beautiful children. They drive me crazy...

  25. LPN jobs

    Satori77 replied to ashcip's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Don't know about LPN jobs specifically, but I heard that the Boulder are is pretty saturated with nurses, especially in hospitals. You might want to try something closer to Denver, if it isn't too...
