  1. Moving to Colorado

    Satori77 replied to amandabrownrn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I live in southern Fort Collins, near Loveland. I love northern Colorado. It's a great area to live. The only hospitals I know about are Poudre Valley in Ft Collins and McKee in Loveland. I have...

  2. nursing (humans) vs animal jobs

    Satori77 replied to Nursing_Student'15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Savoytruffle and GaGeek said it very well. And I am in the same boat. When I first went to college, I was pre-vet. But after 2 years, and learning more about veterinarians, I didn't think it was for...

  3. Who motivates you? Inspires you? Share your stories.

    Satori77 replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Children are amazing and resilient. I know a couple of nurses that work with children, and they say those kids, their big hearts, inspire them every day. When my daughter was born, she was in the...

  4. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

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

    That's great! My husband is also a vet, and hasn't used much of his GI bill. I actually looked into using it a couple years ago, but was told I didn't qualify since he had been in 9 years, and he had...

  5. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

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

    Thanks. I am looking for work, but unless I find something from the hours of 9-3, I will lose money paying for childcare. That is why I had to quit the job I had over the summer. My childcare plans...

  8. Who has volunteered?

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

  9. Online Anatomy & Physiology?? (accredited!)

    Satori77 replied to Lynn829's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know it is more expensive than doing it in person, but exactly how much more? And how much for the lab kit? I am a Colorado resident, so that is why I started looking into

    Satori77 replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mom ended up going to nursing school when I was 12. I was very proud of her, but it didn't make me consider nursing school. When I was a kid, I wanted to be a vet. I loved animals. As I got older,...

  11. Who motivates you? Inspires you? Share your stories.

    Satori77 replied to Futurenurse75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My children are my biggest motivators. I hate struggling financially. Not being able to give them everything they want and need. I want to provide and better life for them. And I agree with illusion,...

  12. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

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

    I am wondering how many here had to rely on financial aid? I know we don't have money for classes, especially with me not working. I don't want to take a lot of loans out either. How many got grants...

  13. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

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

    What a great thread! I have read through all 28 pages, lol. I am 35, married, and have two kids ages 10 and 6. I have been a veterinary technician (so nice to see a few others on this thread!) for 14...

  15. University of Northern Colorado May 2013 start

    Satori77 replied to allycat77's topic in Colorado Nursing

    How do you like the program so far? I live in FoCo and am looking at UNC for a BSN. I am also looking into FRCC, but I really think that getting my BSN straight away instead of the ADN first would be...

    Satori77 replied to wyosamRN's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Did you find a job? I live in FoCo and would like to know how the job market is in this

  17. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

    I'm curious, especially from people posting 3 years ago, and new grads now - who has jobs? Who is hiring? Has things turned around at

  18. CNA or EMT Training??

    Satori77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering which would be better to pursue while waiting to get into nursing school. If anyone here has had EMT training, or both, please tell me what you thought about it. I am leaning towards...

  19. Restraint-free facility?

    Satori77 replied to reussir1's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    My facility is restraint free. We do have the bed alarms, and the wheelchair ones. And belts on the seats that go into the tubs. Otherwise, no. Side-rails were recently taken off as well. They...

  22. Taking my CNA Class

    Satori77 replied to nurseinthemaking2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just finished the class. It was a 3 week long class, 2 weeks of lecture, 1 week of clinicals. Pretty intense, but not that hard. Just make sure you pay attention during class, do your homework...

  23. No HS diploma or GED, but is a CNA?

    Satori77 replied to Leelee2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Am I the only one bothered by this? I think it is scary as well. The work might not be complicated, but it is important. I think you should have a diploma or GED. I also think you should be over...

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

    Wow, I am a newbie and had no idea! I just finished my clinical rotation, and all the CNA's knew everything wrong with their residents, and they would tell me what was going on with each one. I...

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