  1. Can nurses wear skirts?

    Satori77 replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, what an interesting thread. I always though scrub dresses/skirts were old-fashioned and not even allowd anymore. I have never seen a nurse wear one. I am not a nurse (yet), so I have only seen...

  2. Currently in CCCOnline?

    Satori77 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I will have to look into payment plans, probably contact the financial aid department of the school I want to apply to. That is a good idea. That is cool that you homeschool your kids. What do...

  3. ccconline micro

    Satori77 replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Oh, one more thing. You can get financial aid for this, right? Because you have to apply to one of the community colleges first, and the credits are through that college (if I am understanding how...

  4. ccconline micro

    Satori77 replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The classes sound really great. I learn well independently, and I have microscopes at work (wonder if I could just use one of those and not buy one) It would be hard coming up with the money, but in...

    Satori77 replied to hopefullysoon's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Do you ever have set times when everyone gets online to have discussions? Can you talk to other students in the class? How much is the lab kit, and do you get it through

  6. Currently in CCCOnline?

    Satori77 replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I am not currently doing it, but thinking about it. I am in Colorado as well, and it would be so convenient. I have two small kids and work weird hours, so online would be perfect for me. Just not...

  7. Where in CO can I get into a program fast that is also cheep and with a low GPA?

    Satori77 replied to JenniferJen72's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have not heard that about ACC...that is great news! It is one of my top schools to get into. I am looking into their CNA classes this spring, and working on my prereqs there. So I am not on a...

  8. lpn-rn

    Satori77 replied to ashcip's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I think most of the community colleges have an lpn to rn bridge program. I know ACC is, but not sure if that is too far away from you. Don't really know what it is in Golden. I would look for RN...

  9. Where in CO can I get into a program fast that is also cheep and with a low GPA?

    Satori77 replied to JenniferJen72's topic in Colorado Nursing

    If there were any fast, cheap programs, we would all be doing them. You either have to wait, or pay for a private programs. If you are lucky, you won't have to wait long either way. Good

  10. What was your job before you became a nurse?

    Satori77 replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a great thread. I am not a nurse (yet), not even in NS, but hope to be soon. Here is my list: babysitter animal shelter attendant filing clerk (work study program at college)...

  11. Kaiser Loan Forgiveness Program, easy to get accepted???

    Satori77 replied to Max_108's topic in General Nursing

    What exactly is this loan forgiveness program, and how do you apply? Do you already have to be an employee of Kaiser in another department? Or does it apply to people just going to nursing school,...

  12. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I had a couple questions about the school and prereqs. Their website says they will not accept any classes that are over 10 years old. I have finished most of the prereqs, only have a few left....

  13. UCDHSC Students (past or present)

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Bachelor degrees don't expire. And if you have one, you don't need all the pre req's. If you look on their website it talks about it. I know you need A&P, can't remember the other class you...

  14. RTD Light Rail

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Does anyone take this for school and/or work? How do you like it? Is it convenient? Easy to use? Very expensive? I live in Parker, and would look into using it to go to school (if I get in)....

  15. Any Moms Out There?

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Just wondering who else has little kids, and what you plan on doing with them while you are in school. I have two - a daughter who is starting kindergarten next fall, so I am not worried about her....

  16. How long should it take?

    Satori77 replied to Twitchi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Have you already looked into accelerated BSN programs? Already have a bachelors, you could probably get your BSN in less than two years. You might just have to take a few pre-req classes...A&P,...

  17. Hospitals in Denver Metro Area???

    Satori77 replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have heard great things about U of C hospital. They are supposed to have a great orientation for new nurses, though I think they only hire BSN's. On a personal note, I had my daughter at that...

  18. Hospitals in Denver Metro Area???

    Satori77 replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    VA does sound like an amazing place to work. Where is the VA hospital, is it at Fitzsimmons in Aurora? I would be very interested in working there myself. Both my father and husband are vets, so I...

  19. Concorde Career Institute (Colorado)

    Satori77 replied to blueyes27's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is good to know. You can get your LPN, get a job, then work on your pre-reqs while waiting to get into a bridge program. How long is the LPN program? And I think it was answered before, but I...

  20. Starting Nursing At 40...am I Too Late???

    Satori77 replied to SunnyBeach_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is such an aspiring thread! After years of being unsure of myself and not knowing what I wanted to be "when I grew up", I finally found nursing (and allnurses.com!) I just turned 30 and am...

  21. Concorde Career Institute (Colorado)

    Satori77 replied to blueyes27's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Do you know if you get your LPN from Concorde, can you do a bridge program at another school to get your RN? Like a community

  22. OB Rotation is Hell

    Satori77 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Actually, many women do refuse male MD's. I did. I will have a male doctor in general, but when it comes to OBGYN care, I will ONLY see women. I only let women deliver my babies, and would not have...

  23. Any Moms Out There?

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I actually posted it in here to know what people in Colorado were specifically doing. Maybe hear about a program or daycare center that was really good. Too bad more colleges don't offer daycare. I...

  24. OT: RAV4 or CRV for Colorado Winters?

    Satori77 replied to MovingRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My mom has a CRV and it sucks in the snow. I am pretty sure it is all wheel drive though, and I would never get all wheel drive. We have a Jeep and I love it in the winter. Handles great in the...

  25. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Satori77 replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is great you liked the school. I have heard good things. Think I should cancel my appointment though. If I need a cosigner or two for the loan, there is no way I can get it . I don't know anyone...
