Denver School of Nursing is Nationally Accredited

Most schools now have HESI exit exams as it prepares you for taking the NCLEX. You get a printout of what areas you need to work on before taking the NCLEX. As far as I understand we have 3 tries to pass the HESI before grad.

Also they just added a new NCLEX review book to our books this quarter (4th quarter in the BSN program). I feel they are trying to help get the NCLEX scores up, but honestly it's up to the individual to study and prepare for HESI and the NCLEX. Nursing school is about how much you put into it, no matter what school or program you go into. I've also heard taking the Kaplan review before the NCLEX helps a lot!

I also wanted to add I spoke with our former dean and now head of accreditation this week. She said to come back at the end of Oct and she will have news regarding NLN accreditation. So yes, we are making progess.

No problem! I'll let you know when I hear something from her.
This quarter (4th) is supposed to be one of the hardest. We have 2 full days of classroom and 3 12 hr days of clinicals. So far it's going well, we're only in the first week of classes. Hoping this quarter goes fast and it will be a blur!!

Just wanted to let everyone know we now have HLC candidacy which is the first step towards NLN candidacy.
