Don't do Concorde in Denver for RN!!! I just finished the LPN program. EVERY upper management person quit the past two weeks including the director of nursing!! everything has gone to pot and they don"t have enough instructors! Check Denver School of Nursing...

I agree, and call aggressive pit protocols the "pit to distress, then cut" routine. Docs who have high c/s rates and like doing them, are the same ones that like the rapid fire knock em down/drag em out pit routines. WHAT'S THE BIG HURRY? oh ya, LDRP turnover, and daylight obstetrics. I am so grateful for the nurses who try to soften the blow to moms and babies with gentle care practices.

Dear Friends - I am Canadian and have been living in the US for 4 years. My husband had an H-1B visa and I was a dependent (H-4 visa, no work permit.) Six months before we were to receive our green card (we were almost through the long process) he divorced me. I have been trained as a laction consultant, certified birth assistant and Lamaze teacher. So now I am in LPN school in Denver, to become a nurse so I have a hope of staying in the USA where I have made my home. My H-4 expires after I finish nursing school. Till then, I won't be risking questions by Immigration Services about my divorce by travelling outside the country... My goal is to work as an OB/GYN nurse, or go on to get a masters and become a certified Nurse-Midwife. I want to stay in Denver, Colorado where I live now (may be open to travelling...). Otherwise, I am super-flexible. 1) Can I become a permanent resident easier as an RN? Is it important to take this step (LPN to RN) right away to stay in the US long term? 2) Is it advisable to just be an LPN and stay on the TN, renewing over and over? Does anyone get permanent residency with TN visa only? 3) I will also be taking my NCLEX in one year and plan to have Colorado LPN license at that time, what else do I need to find an employment offer? Any words of advice or resources are greatly appreciated!!! Faith
