  2. coming to Denver from So CaL

    mingez replied to Hannahrn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Cheyenne? There's no reason to go north to Wyoming, and then south to Denver, unless you want to explore Wyoming. But that takes you WAY out of the

  3. coming to Denver from So CaL

    mingez replied to Hannahrn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    No, not treacherous. Thousands of semi's traverse that route everyday. There are some relatively steep grades, but remember it is after all a 4 lane freeway. But one advantage of going thru...

  4. Any Graduates of Approved (Non-Accredited) Programs in CO?

    mingez replied to Nashima's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm not yet a nurse, but from what I've heard and seen...Probably not. MOST of the metro area programs are not accredited either. Call the BON and see what they think of your particular situation,...

  8. Required to wear girly scrubs

    mingez replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Don't get me wrong. I personally think that the idea of colors suggesting feminity or masculinity is silly, but it's not me I'm talking about. Society at large as decided that certain colors are...

  9. Required to wear girly scrubs

    mingez replied to SteveNNP's topic in Men in Nursing

    Apples and Oranges. That analogy is like suggesting that a man wearing a dress is akin to a woman wearing pants. It's not the same. You can't tell me that a girl wearing Navy Blue is the same...

    mingez replied to mingez's topic in Nursing Career

  21. Denver public transport.....

    mingez replied to neuronursein06's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yes, you can get there via Bus. However, don't expect anything similar to what they have in Chicago. The public transport out here is kind of a joke, but they are working on it. Some areas are...

    mingez replied to livtek's topic in Colorado Nursing

    The culture in Colorado Springs (Conservative Christian) makes for a strange atmosphere. Southern Cal is pretty conservative in areas (especially compared to NorCal). I'd say Southern California is...

  23. The Most CRNA friendly States

    Wow. I thought it was obvious as hell that MmacFN was being light-hearted. And it seemed to me what was said was more of a compliment than an

  24. Clarify why LPN to RN vs. Strait ADN Program diffs

    mingez replied to mingez's topic in Nursing Career

    Thank you much. I was just thinking that there was something I was missing. It's strange the overwhelming response that I've heard/received from RN's who think I'm making a mistake by going the LPN...

    mingez replied to NO1_2NV's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I have heard nothing but 22 to 24 from all of my RN friends. An LPN starts at around 17 to 18. And aside from the housing (which there is a HUGE difference) you'll be surprised at how similar the...
