  1. New to CO, can someone please explain - CU

    IrishMama replied to klone's topic in Colorado Nursing

    And CU-Denver is part of the same system, even though that might be changing since it's actually in Aurora. It's also referred to as University of COlorado Health Science Center (hence the...

  2. Regis Alternate Experience

    IrishMama posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I found out this afternoon I was accepted as an alternate at Regis. This information was online and I haven't recieved an actual letter with additional info. I'm curious if anyone has any recent...

  3. Regis Alternate Experience

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    CK723: I sent you a PM, so let me know if it doesn't work. I've read that you need a minimum number of posts to use that feature, but I have no

  4. Regis Alternate Experience

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Roxy, congrats on getting in! That's great you only had to wait a few weeks to find out. I'm thinking my odds will go down after April if I don't hear anything. I know CU's acceptance letters are...

    IrishMama replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The website on Monday was updated and the admissions counselor said letters were sent out yesterday. I'm an 'accepted alternate' but am still anxious for my letter just to get more info. I started...

  6. Regis Alternate Experience

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well then I guess 20 alternates is accurate if they had 35 for a 45 person cohort. Now I'm just antsy to get more info in the mail. Dennis88, did they give you an alternate number or is it just a...

  7. Regis Alternate Experience

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Like I said, at first I was excited because I was thinking that there were maybe 5 or 6 alternates, but 20 doesn't make me feel good. I could see 20 alternates for a 45 person cohort, and I'm hoping...

    IrishMama replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That's good to know what others have done who applied to the program. The admissions counselor told me it was just as competitive as their other programs and GPA's are well above 3.0. I've asked on...

  9. Anyone do a CNA program in the summer?

    IrishMama posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Since I can't find any past class schedules, I'm wondering if anyone has done a summer CNA program at a community college. I know there is class and a lab, but after a certain number of weeks of that...

  10. To those who live in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Oh, I've heard Poudre Valley Health can be tough to get into as a new grad, but Fort Collins is awesome (which is why it's hard to get a job there, but you have experience). They have good schools...

  11. To those who live in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm not a nurse (yet ), but I work at Denver Health and really like it there. I work with nurses who seem to like it there. There are other larger hospitals around Denver and I work closely with...

  12. Anyone do a CNA program in the summer?

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That's great to know. I guess I'll wait to see if I've been accepted and take the exam when eligible. If I don't get in than a CNA class is probably in order

  13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Summit, which Chem class are you in. They told me I could take any of them. That's not very encouraging that you have an AS in chem and they had you take another

  14. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I feel good about my pre-req grades and I wish it were that easy that if you get A's, you'll get in. I had to get A's thanks to my non-competitive GPA. We'll see how it

  15. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I re-took A&P and Chemistry. I have a BS and took those classes at CSU. However, I only took one A&P (and it counted as A&P II when they did transcript eval), and I got C's in both that...

    IrishMama replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Well, I did apply for it and will hear back by March. I work closely with a nurse who did it a few years ago and she loved it. The only other info I've found on it is on these boards and they are a...

    IrishMama replied to tanner98's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm just curious if anyone on these boards has applied for this program. There aren't very many threads on it (some are a few years old). I'm just

  18. Need advice regarding pre-requisites

    IrishMama replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado Nursing

    This has been a good thread seeing as how I took all my recent pre-reqs at ACC. I just submitted my application to Regis and I know there isn't a time limit on the pre-reqs. I took/am taking my...

  19. What is a "Situatioin phone interview"?

    IrishMama replied to JuLeSx7d7's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I work at DH (in a non-nursing position) and I had to do the Talent Plus interview on the phone. It's annoying, but I passed. I think you can google it and see what they are looking for in those...

  20. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Okay, now I remember seeing that for the traditional program tuition, so yes that would be $60k. The ABSN and CHOICE are different. Thanks! I was starting to

    Sorry, it's Chem 101. I think 103 was my

  22. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I know this thread is about DSN, but I have a question about all the Regis tuition comments posted today. Am I missing something? To do a BSN program there (either accelerated, traditional, or...

  23. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    IrishMama replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm taking Chem 103, the basic chemistry class, at ACC right now. I've taken general chem a long time ago, but this is a lot easier. I have one test left and need a 50% to keep my A. I have a great...

  24. My dream is turning out to be a nightmare!

    IrishMama replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't know if this will help much, but try not to get too down on the whole situation before exploring all your options. Do you have a previous Bachelor's degree? I'm guessing no, but if you do...

  25. University of Northern Colorado??

    IrishMama replied to Cmunst45636's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The other 4 year universities here (as far as I know) are Regis University, which is private, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center, UNC and CSU-Pueblo. I know Regis only has something like 7...
