Anyone in the January 2010 DSN cohort?

The schedules change dates and times every quarter, so I can't really tell you when you will have class. But you will have Patho and Pharm, which are 2x a week classes. Health Assessment and Topics of Professional Nursing are 1x a week. Health Assessment has a lab that runs about 3 hrs long. Hope this helps!

Does any one know what hospitals clinicals are at? Since I am out of state, I am trying to figure out if I will need my car or if I can get by without one. Any advise?

Hi! The clinicals are all over. I have been to close hospitals and far. I live in the suburbs but even my friends who live in Denver are sent all over the metro area. There is really no way to get through school with out a car. We did have one quarter with no students at any downtown hospitals. Sorry for breaking the news. Best wishes on starting school! I can tell you it will go by fast and it is hard but it is interesting and fun!

Thanks Penny nickel dime! I am glad I know that now so I can plan accordingly. Since I am from out of town...where do you recommend living?

Hi CM1215, I'm starting in Oct. and just moved to colorado. There is a nice apartment steps from the englewood light rail station...

I just my thumbs up from kelly.. I"m for the JAN 2010 BSN... horray!

Hi!

I think I'm pretty much on on the right path... I had all my titers done, etc.

I also saw Robin on Thurdsay! she is fantastic. The cost of this isn't cheap by all means.. But they do whatever they can.. she really works with you. But if your already caped out on FIN AID like your staffords, then you have to apply to salle mae, and if your denied, then they offer you in house. Lots of info that helped the ease of the cost of all this... I thought whatever we don't have we have to pay up front... But its not that way, we can make reasonable payments...

so whos going for what? RN or BSN?

I haven't really had a chance to get started with the physical, drug testing etc but I know I do need to get on it.

I am doing the straight RN program.

On another note, I am coming from the Evans and Holly area...if anyone else is too, maybe we could carpool. Otherwise, my plan is the light rail as it will get too expensive to drive and pay for the parking downtown.
