    How are the wait lists in Colorado?

    hope3456 replied to salsaking's topic in Colorado Nursing

    2-3 year wait for the CC ADN programs, but the BSN programs at the state universities admit competitively, but then it is very competitive. UNC in Greeley takes only 40-50% of all

    Centura Hospitals

    hope3456 replied to bridgfor428's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Last year, I inquired into their 'new grad' hiring. What they told me, is they have these luncheons (which were held in march and april) where they conduct preliminary interviews. Then, they choose...

    hope3456 replied to labfreak's topic in General Nursing

    hope3456 replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, Tazzy that is cheap for daycare. Where do you live? I live in CO, and the going rate is $40-50 a day for daycare....for the 'home' providers, the centers are even more. Maybe I just have to...

    What nursing shortage?

    hope3456 replied to labfreak's topic in General Nursing

    If you have experience in a given area (ICU, ER, med/surg, ect.) you will get hired elsewhere into a position easily, but the key word seems to be experience. As a new grad, it isn't always so easy....

    What nursing shortage?

    hope3456 replied to labfreak's topic in General Nursing

    when I graduated nsg school, I applied to a major health system in N. CO. You see advertisements for them everywhere-for RN's. The nursing recruiter outright and abruptly told me they were not...

    Insurance

    hope3456 replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    By state insurance, do you mean medicaid or CHP+ - the federal child health plan for the 'working poor?' Not all Dr.'s want to take medicaid pts, but more, not all, will take CHP+ pts. b/c the...

    hope3456 replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had PPH after delivering my DD last year....read the 'birth report' and EBL was 1100cc - I didn't receive a blood transfusion- I'm not sure what my H&H was, but all I know is I passed out, don't...

    hope3456 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    hope3456 replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    And then what about the attrition rates? I don't know about the other campuses, but in Ft Collins the number of students who dropped out or failed was ridiculous. A RN who recently graduated told me...

    Acceptance letters from FRCC?

    hope3456 replied to Melina's topic in Colorado Nursing

    hope3456 replied to Nurse2bducky86's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm in FC - pretty much the only place you can work as an LPN around here is in the LTC facilities. Even for RN's - it is somewhat competitive to get hired into acute care, esp as a 'new grad.' And...

    Nursing Shortage Where YOU work?

    hope3456 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    My theory is that nurses tend to migrate to communities with reasonable living costs, good schools, nice climate,ect. Such places have less of a 'shortage' than do places that are less desirable to...

    hope3456 replied to JMinCO's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am in a northern front range community - my facility gave a 4.2% 'market increase' in Dec. to RN's. They are scared of losing us to denver hospitals. What type of facility do you work
