  1. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (FNP)

    Nurse216 replied to Slhengy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Everest! The online program is nice- very flexible, HOWEVER, time consuming. The first classes aren't horrible, but once you start getting into patho and clinicals, it becomes very busy. Lots of...

  2. UCCS FNP

    Nurse216 replied to lauraross1's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There are a few other threads on here about what to expect from the UCCS MSN FNP experience. Here is my post from one of them. UCCS is probably just like any other online learning platform. A lot of...

  3. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (FNP)

    Nurse216 replied to Slhengy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi all, I'm in the FNP program currently (Since fall 2016) with Slhengy and Tami (though different loads, I'm PT, I think Tami is FT). The work is hard, its a lot of reading and you have to really be...

  4. UCCS FNP Spring 2017 applicants

    Nurse216 replied to katy89's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    UCCS is probably just like any other online learning platform. A lot of it is reading (A LOT) and teaching yourself through discussions, case studies, etc. Our professors seem nice however I wish they...

  5. Health One vs Centura

    Nurse216 posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    Has anyone worked for both of these companies and preferred one over the other? I'm just curious.

  6. Question on Denver/HCA

    Nurse216 replied to Sleep03's topic in Colorado Nursing

    It depends on the hospital, I think. As far as pay, it has been said HCA pay is "comparable" to other hospitals, and that our benefits are better. If that is the case, I can't say for sure as I...

  7. "Your job is to make me happy"

    Nurse216 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was taking care of a patient today who told me... "your job is to make me happy". I was taken aback, but responded "my job is to make you healthy... healthy and happy, but healthy first" I feel a...

  10. BSN premium on the table.

    Nurse216 replied to tokmom's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    YES YES YES. Hospitals are all about pushing nurses to get their BSN- only for Magnet. There is no pay increase

  11. Why Colorado Nurses need a Union

    Nurse216 replied to mikkie1317's topic in Colorado Nursing

    There was a push back in the early 2000's by a group of nurses from St. A's, apparently that never worked. We need a union. I have 2 years of experience and I'm only making $25.00/hr. For the stress,...

  12. MSN-NP at CU Denver?

    Nurse216 replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I did, my email had a hiccup so I had to have it resent, but I got the info! I'm even MORE nervous now that we have our own "individual agenda". Excited, but

  13. I'm a frustrated Nurse who has not been able to get a job in a hospital.

    Nurse216 replied to Mlewis1106's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the need for something different, new, more acute. Unfortunately, again you have to appeal to hospitals. Nurses with a BSN are more appealing than ADNs. Nurses with past acute experience...

  14. MSN-NP at CU Denver?

    Nurse216 replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm so nervous. I'll be easily picked out as the blonde who looks like a deer in headlights

  15. Health One vs Centura

    Nurse216 replied to Nurse216's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I currently work for an HCA/HealthONE facility. I know we have the lowest pay of all of the hospital systems, and also, we are a for profit system. Money is constantly the

  17. Are You Nurse Jackie or Nurse Zoey?

    Nurse216 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am Zoey to a "T". I've had many patients say that I remind them of her, so much so that that's the reason I actually ever watched Nurse

  18. FRCC Admissions

    Nurse216 replied to Satori77's topic in Colorado Nursing

  21. University of Colorado Colorado Springs (FNP)

    Nurse216 replied to Slhengy's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Oh! they failed to mention that to me. That relieves a lot of anxiety. I don't think I've found or talked to many others that even know about the UCCS FNP option. I can't tell if its a best kept...
