  1. Mulling a move to Denver

    GeneralJinjur replied to redshott's topic in Colorado Nursing

    My community college is doing away with the waitlist. However, everyone who had their prerequisites completed by the middle of December gets their spot on the waitlist and the school will process all...

  2. Arapahoe CC Spring 2009...who's with me?

    GeneralJinjur replied to GoBear's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I'm in for January, too! I was on the alternate list, but then I got a phone call mid-October. It's exactly 3 years since I signed up for the state waitlist. I've got my BSN pre-reqs completed, but...

  3. What Is Atp?

    GeneralJinjur replied to kiwi08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I always picture it as snapping a dry breadstick or a cracker into two pieces, which always creates crumbs. I break off the adenosine monophosphate and create energy. Then (unlike the cracker) I pop...

  4. Where in CO can I get into a program fast that is also cheep and with a low GPA?

    GeneralJinjur replied to JenniferJen72's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I got a message from Arapahoe Community College that they are doing away with the waitlist. Anyone who has met all the requirements and gotten a number by December will enter the nursing program...

  5. Online group papers?

    GeneralJinjur replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've usually been the one who sets deadlines and collates everyone's work at the end. Most students do not care, so getting a response beyond "That sounds like a good idea" is probably not going to...

  6. Mom Needs Study Tips PLS!

    GeneralJinjur replied to itsa307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have 3 kids and started back when my youngest had just turned 1. Are your kids sound sleepers in the early morning hours? Can you get up early and get half an hour or more of reading out of the...

  7. How many student are left?

    GeneralJinjur replied to NurseBettyICU's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My micro class was like this, too. It explained why my professor was so casual about letting me waitlist into the class -- she knew more than half of the students were going to evaporate. We were a...

  8. Community College Waitlist

    GeneralJinjur replied to WhitePillow's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just got my invitation letter to be an alternate for Spring 09 semester at ACC. I got on the waitlist in December 2005. If I lived in the Springs, I'd definitely head south for my nursing degree,...

  9. Digital voice recorder?

    GeneralJinjur replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the Sansa, too! Love it. I bought mine refurbished off Woot for $30. I recorded almost every Patho lecture. It is really nice to play them back while you are doing stuff around the house....

  10. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    GeneralJinjur replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I practiced muscles and bones on my children. I did little run throughs every night during baths. When I was reading, I also pointed to my own origins and insertions. Sometimes I found myself...

  11. should I take a&p I and a&pII at same time?

    GeneralJinjur replied to hapiyogi's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have seen a few people trying it at my school and they haven't done well. Both are tough classes and I think you need time to absorb the information. Besides, it's not like some classes where you...

  12. Rate My Professor

    GeneralJinjur replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have used this site, too. I try to share each professor's style when I review them. So far, I've been lucky when I have only 2 wildly divergent reviews. At the end of the semester, I write my own...

  13. What the most protein you have seen in a 24hr urine??

    GeneralJinjur replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Pre-eclampsia developed at 26 weeks, HELLP at 28 and delivery at 29. In the week before delivery, I had two other 24 hour urine tests that came back at 4,000 and 11,000. My son spent 11 weeks in...

  14. What the most protein you have seen in a 24hr urine??

    GeneralJinjur replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    He's great! Thanks for asking. He just turned 10 this summer and aside from being in the 7th percentile, has no permanent issues from prematurity. It took a year for my kidneys to straighten out...

  15. What the most protein you have seen in a 24hr urine??

    GeneralJinjur replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My own hit 14,000 when I had HELLP Syndrome. Now I'll go back to lurking on the student forums, where I belong. :)

  16. ACC Waitlist Update

    GeneralJinjur posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    I just called to check and they have stopped at 1035 for the fall semester. That includes all the alternate letters that went out. I guess this means I'm in for January. I've done all my bachelor's...

  17. ACC Waitlist Update

    GeneralJinjur replied to GeneralJinjur's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I am 1064. I signed up for the list in December 2005. I got in under the old rules that you only needed A&P 1, PSY 235 and another class to get on the list. I expect there is a huge gap from...

  18. Still in shock...

    GeneralJinjur replied to dannibee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Happy shock is good.

  19. UCDHSC Waitlist?

    GeneralJinjur replied to kitsune01's topic in Colorado Nursing

    One of my Micro classmates was waitlisted last year. She officially got in about 3 weeks later. Congratulations on making it so

  20. Nursing School Wait Lists

    GeneralJinjur replied to Rosie55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Regis is another local option. When I was taking A&P I (in Fall 2005), my teacher said her niece was attending Regis' nursing program and had gone straight in with no wait. They are good about...

  21. WHY are LPN programs so expensive?

    GeneralJinjur replied to jelly221,RN's topic in General Nursing

    In Colorado, you can take one extra course in your second semester of the ADN program and then take the LPN boards over the summer. If your CCs operate this way, they may feel that they are meeting...

  22. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

    GeneralJinjur replied to moosiesmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are CLEPing to get into a BSN program, double check that your intended school accepts the test results. The one I want to attend only accepts CLEP credit for a few courses, which...

  23. How Hard Is A&P1?

    GeneralJinjur replied to mammaoftwo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you taken any biology before? It has a lot of information about cell metabolism and if you have some familiarity with the subject, that is helpful. There is also a lot of rote memorization. By...

  24. Waitlist Question for Community College Students

    GeneralJinjur replied to HGJ78's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Calico5, I stopped by the nursing office this week because ACC's voice mail had not been updated with where they stopped on the waitlist. Applicant #959 was the last person to join January's program....

  25. Wait for AS or complete BSN

    GeneralJinjur replied to 2B_RN_2008's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I've done the same thing while waiting. I can apply to CU this summer and start a year ahead of when I would start at ACC. If I don't get in, I've still got the CC program to fall back on. I hate...
