    cabanaboy replied to mr.hustle's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yep, those costs are about right. And, they are accredited classes through the Community Colleges of Colorado. I took microbiology through CCC online and was very pleased with it and it did saitisfy...

  2. Can a hospital make you repay the cost of training you if you quit?

    cabanaboy replied to confusedRN2010's topic in General Nursing

    They can make you repay if you signed a contract that stated you would. The only way to know if they are not going to make you pay is to not pay it. Then they will either decide to sue you, or they...

  3. PLEASE tell me there is more to nursing then this.... otherwise, it's for the birds..

    cabanaboy replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a new grad, but in school clinicals I experienced both what you describe your situation to be now, AND what you describe you want your nursing career to be like. I think it has a lot to do...

  4. Colorado New Grads- Do you have jobs?

    cabanaboy replied to Work in Progress's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I took the NCLEX on a Wednesday, found out on Friday that I passed, and my license was issued on Monday. I was able to look up my license on DORA on Monday afternoon or Tuesday...I don't remember for...

  5. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    cabanaboy replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm not totally against this. It depends on the situtation. Six months sounds a little long, but with the job market and the economy the way they are, I would be willing to try out the hospital, and...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Chico David and Herring, Your examples were 1) the union (not staff in the sense that the hospital could have singled them out to punish) threatening to go public, and 2) the union filing a complaint...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Being able to publicly disbarrage the hospital, administrators, and staff = better patient care? There are still many other avenues that someone could take if patient conditions were subpar. And...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    so, the union's demands were more about compensation and less about patient safety. i don't see anything new in the contract regarding better patient care or working conditions. nothing wrong with...

  9. will pending case of shoplifting will show in background check?

    cabanaboy replied to Racharina's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    That's good news. It depends on the school, but it is my understanding they do the background checks so that someone who won't be able to obtain a license won't be taking up a spot in school. What...

    cabanaboy replied to Racharina's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    hi rachirina, you didn't tell me you were such a criminal mastermind. scoping out jc penny for chocolate, then to throw them off you bought a watch just so you could bring it in later to get...

    cabanaboy replied to Racharina's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Racharina, I'm about to graduate, and before nursing school I was a Judicial Assistant for almost 5 years. I'll share what I know, I think it will help. If it was me, I would call the DDA handling...

  12. How should I approach getting a BSN?

    cabanaboy replied to tn42's topic in Men in Nursing

    Hi TN42. I was in a similar situation. I graduated in 94 with a 2.4 GPA (and took 7 years to do that and includes some "A" credits for "varsity athletics") and now I will be graduating from an...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    If I got some facts wrong, my fault and I apologize. If you all want to be treated the same, all work under the same contract. When you have your own, you're going to get some things others don't,...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    The benefit of reaching your goal is being able to work at a prestigous and top-notch hospital with high-quality collegues, and as such are able to say you love your job. Sounds like things are...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Ponder no more, I will tell you! The other groups are either 1) have a different contract and when the time comes that issue will be dealt with or 2) more likely they aren't union employees and the...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    lol! no, a bs of an argument is that you bravely organized a union for the benefit of your patients. you avoided my question of what you did to work with the hospital to improve conditions before...

    "Maureen May, president of the Temple Nurses Association stated, “We will have RNs available on the picket line in the event of a genuine patient emergency to assist if requested.” Doesn't this...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    i didn't say leaving would necessarily be the first option. changes can be made without organizing. and if they can't be done, maybe it is time to leave. and i don't see it as turning tail and...

    cabanaboy replied to IphyGirl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm about to graduate from Metro's accelerated BSN program. It doesn't have the the reputation Regis and CU do, but I'm very happy with my decision to go there. I've been in clinicals with CU,...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    NICURN001, I've only been following this story for a day, so I wasn't aware of any renegging on a past agreement. Maybe I will be a good administrator someday. Is that bad? You make it sound like it...

    cabanaboy replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I'll ignore the personal tone in your responses, RNICUME. Maybe I worded my thoughts wrong, because you misunderstood what I was saying about CNA's. I'm well aware they can't do the job of RN's....
