Its funny that you should post this when I was going to do the same thing. I saw an ad in the base paper, and was curious myself.
it says you must get a 75 on the entrence exam, and be a CNA, which i am not. I'm currently taking classes at ppcc and would love some info from ANYONE!!!

I talked to a couple people at the school and the DNEP and they sounded like honestly nice people!!! They were very open about their school and willing to open all the questions I had. I am defintly going to keep it on the list of things to look at!

I know that I was told IF you arent a CNA you could take their CNA program & they still had some openings for this September class...they only run their program once a year in September.

Also I notice you said you saw it in the base newspaper and they had mention in you are in the military they do accept military benifets

I called them and here is their low down........
They are a new program accred. and approved by the board of nursing...
You must be a CNA and HS grad to apply.
You have to take thier entrance exam cost as of the time I called is 50.00
Thier program is 12mths long and costs include tuition, books, tests, graduation, Insur. ETC...or as she put it "everything".... for the bargain price of 18,600 or 1,550 a mth.
The program runs M-F they do have day and night classes.

I about fell out of my chair at the cost but it is what it is. Had they told me 10,000 or maybe even 12,000 I would of been so there but not at that price. at least right now... especially since I'd have to commute from the springs...
Its definitly not cheap but the postitive is they don't have waiting...... course neither does the Colorado Tech School in Pueblo.... but they too are expensive. Just have to weigh costs vs time over lower cost colleges with longer waits.....
