    Asia53 replied to krab8969's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ohhh, myyyy! It had been 28 years since high school for me, when I started Nursing School, and high school was lackluster for me. Don't worry about then, set your mind on NOW! You'll do fine! :wink2:...

    Asia53 replied to KeithT66's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I worked full/time while going to Nursing School, 48 to 56 hours/week. A leave of absence wasn't possible, plus, I worked in an a unrelated field. My bosses worked with me on my schedule, making it as...

  3. Leaving before finishing

    Asia53 replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    I belonged to a Union for 25 years. Proper protocol for your concern: 1. Talk to your union steward. Find that clause in the contract, the steward should help you do this. 2. Schedule a meeting with...

  4. What Pre-Reqs Should I take at Community College before applying to a Nursing School

    Asia53 replied to NAM210's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Asia53 replied to BettyB123's topic in Nursing Career

    I was 46, when I started Nursing School, finished when I was 51. I worked full/time, work would interfere, and I'd have to drop-out a semester a couple of times. I couldn't take a leave of absence,...

    Asia53 replied to la bellota's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I completely understand. Family is a good thing. Once again, schools, rent, etc depends on where you choose to live. Here's a link for schools, crime rates by cities, etc:...

  11. New Grad - Move to CO?

    Asia53 replied to la bellota's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi La Bellota, Take your NCLEX before moving out here. It's a great bargaining chip when you're looking for work. Plus, it'll (stress and anxiety) be behind you, and you can turn your attention and...

  12. Hospitals in Denver Metro Area???

    Asia53 replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    No! Good Sam's is in the city of Lafayette, CO, Boulder County. Definitely not a suburb of Denver. (cringe) Jules, get your map out. We'll do a quick down and dirty geography lesson. As Core0 pointed...

  13. Hospitals in Denver Metro Area???

    Asia53 replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, and we do quite a few of the local hospitals for clinical rotations. I can't tell you the best, but I can tell you the ones to avoid: North Suburban Medical Center- very...
