I know people that use to work there this is what they tell me. It's high turn over. Pay sucks $25. Schedule sucks. Medics think they are above the RN's.

so, hmm 2 private prisons in Ault. :o and gang/school problems in greeley. a lot of strikes but still have a lot of positives in our list, nothing is set on stone yet family and I are still doing this 'pros and cons' thing.

Hi Hannahrn, My family and I took I-70 better scenic route and a lot faster!! I'm too from So.Cali thinking of relocating to Northern Colorado. Coming back home we took I-25 South to 40West this was the longest boring drive and it's a lot longer. I recommend the I-70 through Nevada/Utah. Good Luck to you!!!

I read that there were rumors of a prison in Ault some are against it and some are for it. Is Northern Colorado that desperate for jobs that they are willing to have a medium security prison in their community? My family and I are really wanting to relocate but all these 'bad news' are making us doubt, maybe will consider another area in Colorado.

Thanx for the info. The builder's sales rep warned us about this specific middle school in Greeley to avoid. I notice a lot of the houses there have basements are tornados possible?? Where are you located?

Wow! $18 for a CNA that's good money. I stumbled upon this I copied and paste. BUSINESS CLIMATE - Industry Linking Business Needs with Business Resources. The economy remains strong in Northern Colorado. In fact, the Fort Collins-Loveland area ranks as the eight strongest economy in the nation, and the region continues to grow. (Source: Policom Corporation, July 2002) hmm.. it is pretty outdated.

Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley Area.

My family and I are really interested in moving to Northern Colorado early 2007. We visited No.Co in April we found it very nice and simple living. A lot of the locals say the economy is not very strong up there now. A lot of industry went to other countries so many people lost their jobs some would commute to Denver or it would take others up to 3 months to find a job. But what we saw while we were up there was a lot of 'building', new construction homes to retail shops. So, the economy can't be that bad right? Well I'm an RN (4 yrs) and DH is a Electrician (8 yrs). I hope we won't have trouble finding employment. A broker told me that high incidents of foreclosures and BK's there? Is this true. Thanks. P.S. we are from So.Cali

in my hospital it used to mean 'Violence' it was changed a couple years ago to 'code gray' due to complaints and significance of 'Code Black'.

Good for you!!! I'm right behind you!!! :balloons:

thanks!!

thanx everyone. just so used to 12 hr shifts and every other weekend.

I have the Med Calculations Test this Thursdays my co-worker who's ahead of me in the process told me don't worry about it. I would really like to get in.I'm burnout with Acute Care nursing. It's Staff RN with the Sheriff's Dept. Is it competitive to get in? My co-worker already got hired just awaiting background check which can take up to 2 months.Why so long? How extensive will it be? I'm clean nothing to hide.

Just applied to my local sheriff's dept for staff nurse.What I heard they are 8 hour shift/40 hours a week with weekend commitment. Hypothetically if it's your weekend on then you only need to work 3 days on the weekday for example; M T W Sat Sun if it's your weekend off then you'll be there the following week; M T W Th Fri. But then you'll be there 7 days straight counting back from your weekend on;Sat Sun M T W Th Fri. That's 7 days straight. Wouldn't that be too much? Sorry to confuse everyone. Am I right ? It's a 2p-10p shift. TIA
