    jonjor2m replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College 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...

    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...

  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 Medical Assistant, 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...

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

    jonjor2m replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

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

    jonjor2m replied to Kikzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    jonjor2m replied to MadruGada's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

    jonjor2m replied to MadruGada's topic in Medical Assistant, 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...

    jonjor2m replied to chancifur's topic in School, College 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...

  15. Denver School of Nursing BSN reviews, please?

    jonjor2m replied to purplepixie's topic in School, College 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...

    jonjor2m replied to nursinghopeful233's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Congrads on your acceptance. I have noticed that some of the Denver School of Nursing students share homes with other students. If you go on the Denver School of Nursing Facebook page that might...

  20. Denver School of Nursing - January 2016

    jonjor2m replied to chancifur's topic in School, College Programs

    oh yeah one other thing that made me say DSN is ok. 78% is the passing mark to pass a class. If you don't pass one class, you have the option of doing some type of retake option while staying in...

  21. Denver School of Nursing - January 2016

    jonjor2m replied to chancifur's topic in School, College Programs

    I had my interview last Thursday the 8th. I had mixed feelings about DSN. The facts are there aren't very many nursing schools in Colorado and even fewer of them take students who already have a BA...
