    Asia53 replied to nclexear's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Asia53 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

    Asia53 replied to eve5483's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Exactly! I have a Nurse/Educator friend, and she told me the very same thing---almost word for word. Plus--high failure rate in 1st year Nursing makes the school look bad. As to people having a...

  12. New Grad, Denver/Colorado Springs area

    Asia53 replied to Jgb7f7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It's really hard to answer your question. Do you just want to get a foot in the door? Now bear in mind, I haven't worked as a nurse at these facilities, but I've done clinicals at most of them. If you...

    Asia53 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

  21. Must be a CNA to Get Into Nursing School?

    Asia53 replied to CLUVRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree! My school didn't require CNA, and I wasn't one. I went into nursing school without the simplest skills. It was hard for me, always coming from behind to catch up. Fortunately, my study group...
