  1. How to get into and through Nursing School with NO MONEY!?

    CBsMommy replied to hakunamatata's topic in General Students

    Take the loans that are offered, cut out cable, fast food, cell phone, get cheaper housing, if possible, take on a roommate, sell stuff you don't really need, get a part time job, get rid of the car...

  2. Has anyone taken BIO at CCConline?

    CBsMommy replied to tlt0616's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Nursesoon - I did have a full credit hour load this past semester and a 2 year old running around the house so I had a lot on my plate. The biggest tip that I have for that course is to not fall...

  3. Has anyone taken BIO at CCConline?

    CBsMommy replied to tlt0616's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My CCCOnline Patho class was HARD. We didn't have to take tests in proctored locations but they were timed and there was NO WAY you were able to look up all those questions in the time alloted. For...

  4. Received grades for 1st semester...

    CBsMommy replied to peytonsmom's topic in General Students

    Congrats! I don't think that you sound cocky at all, just someone who is proud of her grades, which you should be, since you worked hard for them! I can't stand when teachers tell you that you will...

  5. Question from a student to the seasoned nurses :)

    CBsMommy replied to linzjane88's topic in General Nursing

    I have the exact same problem. I am dreading my peds rotation and DO NOT want to have to see child abuse situations. I am much like you but I WILL fly off the handle at the parents if I see...

  6. I am such a dissapointment.........

    CBsMommy replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    Let me tell you a little story about a guy called Thomas Edison. He failed THOUSANDS of times in trying to invent the lightbulb. Do we call him a disappoinment? Just because you achieve your goal the...

  7. Has anyone taken BIO at CCConline?

    CBsMommy replied to tlt0616's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've taken classes through CCCOnline. If your school accepts them, they are great classes to take. I haven't taken Bio 111 through there (in fact, I skipped that class and got an instructor to sign...

  8. Unsupportive Family Member

    CBsMommy replied to Dottie, RN's topic in General Students

    Oh yes, I feel your pain, OP. My mother is never supportive of me. In fact, I asked her why she was so unsupportive. She gives me the, I AM supportive speech. No, she's not. But, this is the way...

  9. How much is school costing you?

    CBsMommy replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    Let's see. When I was 19, I decided that I was going to take college courses. Not towards a degree because I had no idea what I wanted to be but just because college sounded like a good idea. I...

  10. Financial help for single mom

    CBsMommy replied to dlady777's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I'll be honest with you. I'm a single mom as well and there is no such thing as free money. You can try to get a scholarship, which they do have for single moms, but you also have to have a...

  11. Mean coworker

    CBsMommy replied to NoeIssa's topic in General Nursing

    I once had this co-worker that I worked with in a very small office. She was there for 7 years and was a complete *****. She didn't like ANYONE that started new and she literally had several people...

  13. What should I expect? New nursing student, begining Jan 2010.

    CBsMommy replied to Elizabeth Oliva's topic in General Students

    If I were to buy the books at the campus it would've cost me over $400. I bought them off Amazon.com, EBay and Craigslist for less than $200. Cheap compared to the

  14. What should I expect? New nursing student, begining Jan 2010.

    CBsMommy replied to Elizabeth Oliva's topic in General Students

    I am starting the nursing program in Jan as well and for right now, I'm going through the house trying to get organized. Everything has a place and everything in it's place (my current motto)....

  15. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    To the OP: Denver is a nice place to live and the UC campus is beautiful. The light rail goes right in the back (or front) of the college. I would agree that I wouldn't want to live right around the...

  16. Concorde

    CBsMommy replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I went to UCD, not for the nursing program, but for other courses and while the school is HUGE, once you get the hang of it, it really doesn't seem that intimidating! Sand Dollar, good luck on...

  17. Moochers who want to copy your homework or cheat off you......

    CBsMommy replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    I have a firm belief in helping others that want to help themselves. Otherwise, and what you are describing above, is a big no-no in my book. If you don't want to say no, the next time someone asks...

  18. When the tables are turned (nurse on the receiving end of care, acted like a fool)

    CBsMommy replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind getting shots but I don't like getting blood drawn. I can't watch the blood coming out of my own veins or my blood pressure drops and I get very faint. How was the shot though...no big...

    CBsMommy replied to Reminisce's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP: I commend you on figuring out your path early in life and it shows great initiative that you are coming on this board to ask questions. I would also agree with the posts that state to try...

    CBsMommy replied to ybq2008's topic in General Students

    I just finished my last online final! This semester is finally over. I never thought it would happen! Procrastination until the last minute. Actually I still have 40 minutes until the semester...

  21. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    CBsMommy replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi there - PPCC no longer has a waitlist. They are now competitive by grades. And you have to pass the TEAS exam. I'm not sure about Morgan CC. I don't think Pikes Peak's grades are as competitive...

  22. Still penny pinching

    CBsMommy replied to Williss2's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the posters that stated the more money people had, the more debt they had. I did mortgage for years and this statement couldn't be more true in most instances. I remember talking to my...

  23. Hollywood's Portrayal of Male Nurses?

    CBsMommy replied to GiveMeFeedBack's topic in Male Nursing Students

    All I have to say is rent the movie Meet the Parents. It's all about a male nurse and how he is

  24. Blood Pressure...am I really this stupid?

    CBsMommy replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    The reason that I said to inflate to 200 is because you should not hear anything at 200. Once you start deflating slowly, you should start to hear a muffled sound, then clear thumps (record starting...

  25. Blood Pressure...am I really this stupid?

    CBsMommy replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    A couple of tips for taking a BP: 1. Have your "patient" in a sitting position with their arm resting on a hard surface (like a table) if possible. If not, make sure their arm is between your...
