Concorde vs DSON

Good Job bfrdncr41! I heard about the good reputation of DSN too! I am not going to listen or believe the opinion or comment of some egoistic, conceited people on this thread! My Aunt from California is a an RN for 15 years and is teaching Nursing students at a local hospital in CA. She thinks that DSN has a good program.
I am very sure whereever DSN students go, they are going to be hired because they have a quality training and so are the Concorde!!!

I would just like to say that I graduated from concorde and had absolutely no problem finding a job, our clinicals were at great hospitals and I feel like i got a very good education. I also work with a good number of DSN graduates and they are wonderful hardworking people. I am very proud of were I graduated from and am so happy with were i work.

bfrdncr41 - I'm really glad to hear Concorde has a good program. Even though I decided to choose DSN its nice to hear it is still a good school.

Pumpkinpie - I would call DSN now if your planning to do so eventually, you don't have to be done the pre-reqs completely to start the process of getting in. You might be able to get into an earlier cohort, and get that BSN sooner - which is always a good thing. The admissions told me the list starts for Jan at the end of July, so it appears to be about 6 months between the two.

I also think the new thing with the CCs requiring you be a CNA is a crock, I guess they have a lot of people drop out when they get into the yucky stuff of nursing. I know what I want to be and a little mess isn't going to cause me to drop out, sheesh!

Duh! I should have looked back and saw that, sorry bfrdncr41.

How are you finding the program, I'm dying to know!! How far ahead did you get your book list, did it give you enough time to find them online? I know the catalog says books are included, but are they really? I have read other posts to the contrary. As well, did the teas have science on it? I think they usually do, but in the catalog it says its only language and math stuff, i was wonder which it was. I am SO excited, I do hope I get into the Jan '10 cohort.
