   jonjor2m replied to purplepixie's topic in School Programs

   I worked with a gal who got accepted and will start there in January. She is a terrific CNA and I think she will be a great nurse. She is a hard worker and will succeed where ever she goes. Me I am waiting to get into Front Range because I don't w...

   jonjor2m replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

   Last days are hard... I would go in... Just think of the money you won't get if you call in... leave with your head high... don't look back... had the same thing happen to me about a month ago and I had a resident pass away on my shift that was reall...

   Glad you do know it all....

8. If You are Paying for a CNA Course... aka The Post I Wish I'd Read a Month Ago.

   jonjor2m replied to MadruGada's topic in CNA/MA

   One of the most important things I have learned from a life of working with a variety of ages is when to pick you battles. If I would have told my classmates, who were much younger than I was, to get back on topic I would have had no one who would b...

9. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

   jonjor2m replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The answer is probably EVERYONE!... you are right about the amount of study but I don't know if it is memory lapses... I don't mean to make judgements but sometimes "old gals" like us who are paying for their coursework take their studies more seriou...

10. Is 61 too old to start Pre-Nursing?

    jonjor2m replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I actually think being over 60 will not be too old to start a career in nursing. Many patients possibly will be over the age of 60 and they may be able to relate to you and you might be able to be a very effective advocate for them. I would take ea...

11. If You are Paying for a CNA Course... aka The Post I Wish I'd Read a Month Ago.

    jonjor2m replied to MadruGada's topic in CNA/MA

    Ok-- I am a former teacher and also interested in nursing so I feel I can address this issue. Sometimes it is not the best idea to speak up, etc. if you have an instructor who may not pass you in the class. If the class is this disorganized and poo...

    jonjor2m replied to MadruGada's topic in CNA/MA

    I am also a former teacher making a career change in Colorado and want to be a nurse. I am also over 50. I realized to get my "feet wet" I needed to be at least a CNA. My course cost $1200 dollars and lasted about 15 days including the clinicals. ...

14. Denver School of Nursing - January 2016

    jonjor2m replied to chancifur's topic in School Programs

    that price for rent (650 to share with others) in that area of town is very very very good.... you should get it filled up fast when others find out the price of rent... I live in the Denver area so if you out of staters have any questions please go ...

15. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    jonjor2m replied to purplepixie's topic in School Programs

    I agree with you about they don't put the effort into classes. Some of those who give bad reviews are angry because a teacher wanted them to redo an assignment to get a better grade. How can you be mad about that? I guess they think they should ge...
