Halfway done.......hardest quarter so far is 4th. Hopefully it will be smooth sailing after that!
Good luck to you!

Well, I'm still hesitant. I think Regis or CU is the way I must go... if I go through and get a DSN BSN and later they get NLN, I don't think schools are going to retroactively recognize my credits for MSN... are they?

It's too bad because CU is impossible to get into and Regis is still hard and costs 50% more than DSN.

SummitAP - we all have different paths we must take...I can't wait for CU and Regis too ridiculously expensive for me, although I am confident with my grades and background, I could get into both. I think DSN is a great school, despite being young. The founders and teachers look to mostly be graduates of the aforementioned schools, so I feel confident I'll be getting a great education. They should get there accreditation before you'd graduate, it doesn't take too long after they get candidacy. CU told me that it had to be within 3 years of your graduation date for it to be recognized, but others schools have told me as long as they are NLN accredited when you apply, it doesn't matter, they aren't going to go back and check dates. Good luck!

Interesting... good info... I like the looks of DSN too, just need a guaranteed path to MSN that doesn't come from Phoenix.

With that in mind, I'll probably apply to DSN because I'm not sure I'll get into CU.

Did you apply to CU this year? If you apply to DSN in January, you'd be in for the July start date and you'd know from CU in March/April, so that could help make your decision! Better to have something solid just in case, rather than wait until you find out from CU, then have to apply to DSN and start in October or January for next year!

Just curious...what's wrong with University of Phoenix? I know some MSN's who got theirs through UoP and are working some pretty good jobs. I am looking in the ADN program and planning on doing the UoP to BSN a few years after that.

Just keep in mind, when and if DSN gets in the NLN process, it is a 4 year process from my understanding. Every recruiter and nurse manager in the Denver area is going to know when it does happen. So they will know whether it was accredited at the time someone graduated.

mtnmedic - pretty much every hospital hires DSN graduates. Only CU doesn't, but they plan to very soon. The NLN process is generally 4-5 years from the start, they've been in the process for quite some time now and are listed as a candidate on their website, so it shouldn't be too much longer. Many people have issue with UoP because some places will not hire graduates from there in all fields, not just nursing.
