    DamailaRN replied to mallory4's topic in General Students

  7. Pediatrics Heart team at P/SL

    DamailaRN replied to Amagoo's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I would think your experience as a surgical tech could be very helpful, especially if you have 6 years in hearts already, but I'm not sure how likely they are to hire a new grad from outside the...

    DamailaRN replied to madwife2002's topic in First Year After Licensure

    DamailaRN replied to smile4stamps's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Maybe it depends on which area/hospital? My hospital is also HealthONE and I started at more than that as a new grad nurse, though I have CNA/Nurse Tech experience. I am also assuming by your screen...

  11. Job Market/wages/Ratios?

    DamailaRN replied to smile4stamps's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I work nights on a Med/Surg floor at a big hospital in Denver. Our unit is very fast-paced and can be higher-acuity so they have been trying to get the ratios down to more like 1 nurse to 4 patients...

  16. Interested in moving to colorado

    DamailaRN replied to jessicams's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'd have to second Mi Vida Loca on the grim new grad job situation here. I am originally from Colorado but went out of state for my nursing degree. I graduated summa cum laude / at the top of my...

    DamailaRN posted a topic in Colorado Nursing
