   Newnurse75 replied to Newnurse75's topic in Colorado

   Yeah UC at Colorado Springs is one of the few programs that I've found that will accept a nurse with some sort of experience. I've researched on different threads and stuff and have seen that it can be hard for an out of state nurse to get a spot in ...

   Sometimes I can stumble when I speak. And it can be hard for me to think of the words to say..kind of like they're on the tip of my tongue but it might take me a few seconds to think of the word. I mean I am still an effective communicator with a tea...
