  1. FRCC Admissions

    Satori77 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm applying to the FRCC Larimer Campus nursing program Fall 2016. All my prereqs are finally finished and I am taking the Hesi A2 entrance exam in a couple of weeks. For anyone currently enrolled in...

  2. FRCC Admissions

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well I took the Hesi this morning. I was planning on taking it yesterday, but the blizzard kind of messed that up! I should get test results back in time tomorrow, but it is making me a little...

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I haven't taken it yet. I'm on Spring Break now, and have been studying this week. Plus, I will be taking it at FRCC, and they are closed this week. I will take it one day next week, since the last...

  4. FRCC Admissions

    Satori77 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I didn't expect anyone to know those statistics. I've already contacted the school, but haven't heard back. I was looking more personal stories from people, and if they knew what other people got in...

  6. other non traditional students / moms

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

    Another nontraditional student here. I'm 38, married, with two kids (12 and 9). This is a second career for me. I've had to slowly take prereqs because of the kids, the fact that my husband is a truck...

    Satori77 replied to TheRedNurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I finally finished my prereqs. I will be taking the Hesi exam here soon, and applying to Fall of 2016. Anyone else applying for the same term? Or perhaps starting right now, Spring

  8. Unhappy Speech Pathologist

    Satori77 replied to SLPrnTobe's topic in General Nursing

    My first choice in going back to school was SLP. I checked out the one local college that offers it. I've never met an unhappy SLP. Not that there aren't any, but they are few and far between I think....

  9. Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

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

    I am not able to move either. My husband has a good job and we can't afford to lose that, especially since I don't plan on working while in nursing school. We also have two kids. We have friends here...

  10. Grades are in! How did you do?

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

    I got an A in Nutrition and Med Term. And Bs in Micro and A&P I. I missed getting an A in Micro by one point which was frustrating. A&P was an 86, and I've never worked so hard for a grade....

  11. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    Satori77 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And what unit do you work on? I am a prenursing student, leaving a very physically demanding job as a vet tech. A lot of bending, stooping, kneeling on the floor, wrestling with big dogs, lifting and...

  12. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

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

    Thank you GrnTea! And thank you for sharing the story of your cat. So glad she is ok now! Those are the stories that make being a vet tech worth it. I need a change, but I'm thankful I've had 15 years...

  13. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

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

    Sometimes. But there is a lot of not fun stuff. More than most people

  14. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

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

    I never meant that I would martyr myself. That I was literally ok with not eating or peeing for a full 12 hours straight. Just that I have had physical, busy jobs. On my feet for 10, 12, even 14...

  15. Should I even apply? Haven't taken A&P 1 or 2

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

    The schools in my area require those three classes before you can even apply. None of the classes can be in progress either. Even if you can apply now, I would wait. I think the chances of them...

  18. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    Satori77 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I do not work in this field, so I don't have personal experience. But I have a friend in NY that works in nurse informatics. He work 2 years in ICU before finding this job. He is a career changer, and...

  19. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

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

    Thanks everyone for sharing your opinions. Like I said, I I do have a physically demanding job now, and I probably should have mentioned that I did work as a CNA for 2 years in a nursing home. But I...

  20. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

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

    Thanks. I've actually been on AN for about 8 years now. Hopefully working nurses will see this post, because prenursing students won't know how physically demanding a nursing job is. Or which units...

  21. Online Microbiology class

    Satori77 replied to kreyol77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The community college system here in Colorado offers science classes (like Micro and A&P) online. It is through CCCOnline. You pick a "home school" and on your transcripts, the class shows up the...

    Satori77 replied to ADNcandidate's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  23. What nursing specialty interests you the most for the future?

    Satori77 replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in General Students

    I first became interested in nursing 12 years ago when my daughter was born and she was in the NICU. I feel a strong pull towards the NICU, I won't lie. And the more I learn about it and talk to NICU...
