    Yes, as soon as you

  2. UCH New Grad RN residency program?

    Izzy11 replied to tsl701's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'll add that you need to do this about a year or more before you are graduating. My program kept telling us "don't work, don't work" so I didn't. By the time I started getting advice on how helpful...

  3. Sooo freaking angry at NJC...vent :(

    Izzy11 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree with SummitAP. The other schools that switched to merit based waited until they took everyone off their waitlists, which seemed more

  4. How hard to get into Metro Fast Pace Bachelors of Nursing Program?

    Izzy11 replied to ashaffer's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't think they consider previous healthcare experience, but I don't know. I didn't have any and I'd say about 3/4 of our class

  5. CCD discontinues ADN nursing program.

    Izzy11 replied to B_OTT's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It's because the economy tanked, so all the older nurses that were expected to retire have stuck around because they can't afford to retire now. Plus a lot of experienced nurses came out of...

  6. How hard to get into Metro Fast Pace Bachelors of Nursing Program?

    Izzy11 replied to ashaffer's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It's hard to say exactly. I just graduated from the program and I got in with about a 3.1 GPA (3.6 science) for what that's

  8. CCD discontinues ADN nursing program.

    Izzy11 replied to B_OTT's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My experience with grad schools is that they want the national accreditation, not the regional, so with NLN it should be fine. But of course you should always check for yourself to make

    Izzy11 replied to B_OTT's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Right. It doesn't really matter what the BON does, it's what employers want. They want BSNs, not

    Izzy11 replied to B_OTT's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Platt has a BSN program and they just received their NLN accreditation. It's very expensive, though. Metro is working on a traditional BSN but I don't know when it's going to

  11. University Colorado Nurse Residency

    Izzy11 replied to A.Manning's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm in the 3.6 range, so that still doesn't encourage me, especially if there are only a "handful" of positions going to non-ACPs. I guess I should have figured that since they ask for a transcript...

  12. Is a nursing home job looked at negatively when applying to hospitals?

    Izzy11 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I'm graduating this week with a BSN and as we all know, the job market sucks for new grads right now. Given how competitive all the new grad hospital positions are, I'm looking at the possibility of...

  13. Is a nursing home job looked at negatively when applying to hospitals?

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Nursing Career

    Thanks for the replies. My concern is that if I work in LTC for 6 months or a year, the hospitals will say that the experience doesn't count. But if I take an LTC job and leave after just a few...

  14. University Colorado Nurse Residency

    Izzy11 replied to A.Manning's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I heard from someone who is currently an ACP that they get around 800 apps for 20 to 30 spots, and the spots either go to ACPs or out-of-state applicants with 4.0 GPAs. Obviously I have no way of...

  15. University Colorado Nurse Residency

    Izzy11 replied to A.Manning's topic in Colorado Nursing

    According to the application, they ask for a two-year committment. The program is a year like klone said, and then they want another year to get a return on their investment. I have no idea how they...

    That's the same boat we're all in. I know my first job is going to be whatever I can find, and that's fine. Good luck to you as

  17. Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    Izzy11 replied to mbw5680's topic in Colorado Nursing

    They've been flooded with applicants for the last couple of years. I think a big factor was up until recently it was a non-competitive application process, except for the competition of trying to get...

  18. Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    Izzy11 replied to mbw5680's topic in Colorado Nursing

    i think nln just changed their terminology. if you look at it, it says "nursing education programs" but then it also says they are baccalaureate and associate. to be a teacher, you need to have a...

  22. What are Accelerated BSN programs like?

    Izzy11 replied to HelloKitty123's topic in General Students

    It varies. Last semester we had class about 6 hours on Wednesdays and Thursdays, 4 hours on Mondays, and then a few labs scattered about. We had 6 clinical days of 8 hours the last 3 weeks of the...

    Izzy11 replied to Anoetos's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My first semester was 18 hours (all nursing classes). This summer I'm taking 17. It's definitely doable. The key is to stay on top of things and don't fall

  24. What are Accelerated BSN programs like?

    Izzy11 replied to HelloKitty123's topic in General Students

    How accelerated is it? I'm in one that is 17 months (4 semesters) and so far it hasn't been too bad. We're in the middle of the second semester. This is the first year they've done it over 17...

    Izzy11 replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    Our program has tried to accomodate people who had scheduling issues for similar things. But if you do end up with a clinical on a day you had something else scheduled, you're SOL - you go to...
