  2. Nursing School Supplies?

    IrishMama replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    If you can swing a stethoscope, I'd just get one for the whole semester. Everyone will have their own. I have a Littman Classic II SE or something like that. It was $60 on amazon and works great.Books...

  3. Nursing School Supplies?

    IrishMama replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    For school supplies, everyone is different. Some use a different binder for every class, some try to keep it all in one binder. There are lots of notes to print out. Definitely get a planner, or use...

    IrishMama replied to DarkLotus's topic in General Nursing

    DarkLotus, I don't want to get your hopes up, but my acceptance letter last fall didn't arrive until almost 10 days after they we mailed out. I called three times and they wouldn't give me any info...

  5. CPR Renewal in Boise/Meridian

    IrishMama posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm waiting to hear any day now if I was accepted to BSU's BSN program (I was told letters go out Friday) and have now decided it is a good time to get all my paperwork in order. I've been certified...

    IrishMama replied to Kissa6190's topic in General Students

    Oohh, I want to get in on this thread just for curiousity's sake (not because I'm considering having another baby while in school ). I'm tempted to leave it at that and let those who have been there...

    IrishMama replied to ejf88's topic in General Students

    To the OP, I think it sounds doable and congrats for paying off your debt! I'm not wanting to hijack the thread, but it sounds like some of you said you weren't eligible for financial aid- where did...

  11. Looking for current info on BSU application process and experience

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully, I have a 4.0 in all the required classes, so I'm hoping that makes me a shoe-in. I've never taken patho and since I will hopefully be starting in the spring, I was considering just sucking...

  12. Possibly moving to AURORA, CO!! Please respond :)

    IrishMama replied to Sl1011's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Ya, Aurora gets a bad rap, but there are some nice pockets. I'm not a nurse yet, but I recently worked at Denver Health (we moved, that's why I don't work there anymore) and I'd highly recommend you...

    IrishMama replied to lindsaylat's topic in Colorado Nursing

    IrishMama replied to NurseVoldemort's topic in General Nursing

    I'm new to Boise and will soon be a nursing student, so I'll be interested in the response to these questions. It seems this board isn't very active up here, unfortunately. I can answer that St....

  18. CNA help BSN applications?

    IrishMama replied to lifewithkids's topic in Colorado Nursing

    When I first got put on the alternate list for the Regis CHOICE program, I spoke with the counselor about this very thing. She couldn't say, if you get your CNA you'll get in, in fact she didn't...

  19. Any other Regis alternates out there?

    IrishMama replied to IphyGirl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I was an alternate for the August 2010 CHOICE program at Regis and never made it. My cum GPA was less than stellar, but I re-took all my sciences and got A's and had really strong references when I...

  21. phone interview with Denver Health

    IrishMama replied to sourapril's topic in Colorado Nursing

    IrishMama replied to AMRN3201's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I also work at Denver Health in trauma services, but I'm not a nurse (yet) so I can't speak to most of your question. UCH is a level II trauma center, not a level I. The list isn't incorrect. The...

    IrishMama posted a topic in Colorado Nursing
