   Nurse2bNichol replied to lifewithkids's topic in Colorado

   I most certainly helps you get into nursing school to have any kind of healthcare experience, especially working as a CNA. I don't think I would call it "easy" to get a CNA job in Colorado, but it depends on what kind of nurse assisting you want to d...

2. Is ANYONE hiring new grads!!???

   Nurse2bNichol replied to JulsRN's topic in Colorado

   Lutheran has a great New Grad program in July, November and usually in March or April. It is somewhat competitive but not totally impossible and much more likely than getting in at University.

4. CNA job in CO

   Nurse2bNichol replied to amy874's topic in Colorado

   I really think it depends on the program you are in, I did have some previous health care experience but I got a CNA job before I had even graduated from my NA program at a major hospital. Although they told me in the interview it was because the hos...

   University hospital has a great burn unit, I know a nurse working there now and although it's very difficult work she says it has changed her life forever. I would check there first.

8. CNA training in Denver area

   Nurse2bNichol replied to ashaffer's topic in Colorado

   I went to Red Rocks for my CNA and it was phenomenal. We got to do clinicals at a great hospital and LTC facility and the professors got to know all of us very personally. In addition, they allowed us to complete clinicals at night and on the weekend...

   Nurse2bNichol replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado

   CSU Pueblo is a program I hadn't considered before, and may do so now if I don't get in this admissions round to other schools. I am curious though, what did you all take to fulfill their nursing pathophysiology prerequisite requirement?

10. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Nurse2bNichol replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    The Anschutz campus is beautiful, but the 4mile radius around the college is not a good neighborhood. I just left my job there in October to be an LPN in Boulder. For the few years I worked there, it was not uncommon to hear about students getting mu...

11. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Nurse2bNichol replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    I'm not totally sold on DSN, but my old college roommate graduated from CU Colorado Springs Beth-El nursing school, she now works at Saint Joseph's and said that she works with many DSN nurses. Therefore I don't know how much truth there is in "many ...

    A rubric or a syllabus is a document teachers give you to tell you what their expectations are of you for an assignment/test/quiz. It basically details all the requirements and such for whatever task you are completing.

13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Nurse2bNichol replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado

    I called today and got some verification on the process. Even though they don't start signing students up until after 9 a.m. you are allowed to call before then. If hundreds of people are calling, it would make sense to start calling at about 7 a.m. ...

    You need the BLS for Health Care Providers, make sure it includes, adult, child, and infant as well as AED training. The American Heart Association's program is the best because most rotational sites require the AHA's cert, so it's easier just to go ...

15. Has anyone taken BIO at CCConline?

    Nurse2bNichol replied to tlt0616's topic in Colorado

    I just spoke with Connie, the S-Z advisor at the College of Nursing at CU Denver and she said they do take the CCC online courses. I am so glad we have this clear now! And I really wish I would have taken some of my pre-reqs online now instead of kil...
