  1. LTC vs Psych

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Nursing Career

    Unfortunately the psych facility is not associated with a hospital, it's a stand-alone

  2. LTC vs Psych

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Nursing Career

    And that's exactly what my fear is. I really enjoy psych, but I don't see myself doing it long term. I actually like dealing with psych issues with my medical patients, and not doing just psych....

  3. LTC vs Psych

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Nursing Career

    I had the feeling that SNF would have more skills that I would utilize, no matter where I wanted to work in the hospital. I have applied for all the women and infant services and even L&D in my...

  4. FRCC Fall 2016

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I think you have a good chance. The semester I was admitted, we had ten on the waitlist get in last fall I had a friend get in, and she was 5 on the waitlist. From what I've seen for the last two...

  5. Help with Topic for Paper

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You both have given me some great ideas that I had not even thought of. Thank you so

  6. Help with Topic for Paper

    Satori77 posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am going into my 4th semester of nursing school, and I will have to write a paper on an area of nursing I am interested in working. I have chosen the NICU. I need at least two peer reviewed journal...

  7. Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    Satori77 replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Its pretty simple. I like posts that I agree with. It has to be more than a few words though. A well-thought out response will get a like. Sometimes even if I don't agree, but I understand their...

  9. Senior Practicum in OR

    Satori77 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I am going into my 4th semester of school. I got my assignment for our senior practicum, and I will be in periop. I will be switching between pre-op and in the OR for 3 week (96 hours total). In...

  11. Starting Nursing School Next Week!

    Satori77 replied to dshaynna's topic in Colorado Nursing

    One of the hardest parts of nursing school is the test taking. You can know the material backwards and forwards, and still do bad on a test. I went from a straight A student to failing a few tests,...

  12. Med surg rotation

    Satori77 replied to Kimmie70's topic in General Students

    I was terrified for my med surg clinicals. But I ended up loving them. It was so very different than LTC (which I hated). We are paired with a nurse, who normally has 4-5 patients. We would come in...

  13. Starting Nursing School Next Week!

    Satori77 replied to dshaynna's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Congrats on starting nursing school! I am going into my 4th semester at FRCC Larimer Campus. Boot camp is nothing to be scared of. They talk about the program, test taking skills, organization, etc....

  14. HESI test scores!

    Satori77 replied to Shayna0629's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sorry to hijack the thread. I am going into my 4th semester at FRCC. I've only done clinicals at PVH, but will be doing my senior practicum at NCMC. Have you done clinicals there? What did you think...

  15. Front range community college

    Satori77 replied to Cnala's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am at Larimer Campus, but for the most part we have weekends off. The only time I had something school related on a Saturday was for my psych clinicals. And that was just one Saturday. We do have...

  16. Front range community college

    Satori77 replied to Cnala's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am in 3rd semester right now. We have lost at least one person every class. Sometimes several. I won't lie, it's been difficult. You need to stay on top of your studying. If you are struggling,...

  17. Online Prereqs

    Satori77 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering how many people did their prereqs (when possible) online as opposed to go to a school. I am trying to work for as long as I can, and can't really do that if I take regular classes. I...

  18. FRCC Fall 2016

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I understand your concerns. I'm 38 with 2 kids, and this is a second career for me. I feel like I can't fail either. Do you have any specific questions about the program? I really like it so far, but...

  19. He Said I "Act Like I'm In Med School or Something!"

    Satori77 replied to SunshineeStudent's topic in General Students

    He's not worth the time or effort. You already aren't interested. So its not like someone you care about made the comment. Yes, I'd be pissed to, but responding will not change anything. Just ignore...

    Thanks! And good luck to you. You have a lot on your

  21. New Grad Starting NICU Position - So excited!

    Satori77 replied to babyrnhlw's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I love hearing stories like this. NICU is my dream job (at least for now, I haven't started school yet). It is the reason I am going to nursing school. I am finally starting my program this Monday and...

  22. other non traditional students / moms

    Satori77 replied to KThurmond's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It seems like forever ago that I commented on this thread, and now I am starting my nursing program on Monday! I'm so excited but so nervous at the same time. Good luck to all of your still working on...

  23. Anatomy and Physiology Lab without Cadavers (formaldehyde)?

    Satori77 replied to MissHopeful111's topic in General Students

    We did a lot of dissections in my class. We had cats that we worked on the whole semester, plus some individual organs that were either sheep, cow, or pig. We were lucky enough to have human cadavers....

  24. What Prerequisites Does Your School Have?

    Satori77 replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is an ADN program in northern Colorado. I needed A&P I (they recently took A&P II off the prereq list, but you need to take it by 1st semester if admitted), Micro, Human Growth and...

  25. Front range community college

    Satori77 replied to Cnala's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am starting this fall in the program. So I only know my schedule, not what other semesters will look like. Though they have two sample semester schedules on the FRCC nursing website. The challenging...
