Agreed, he's a snake oil salesman, he will tell you whatever you want to sign with the school. Although after talking to the associate dean about accreditation they are on track to submit regional accreditation by this fall and NLN accreditation soon after that. They have been in talks with the NLN for quite awhile and have been setting things up according to guidelines. Some people don't understand this is a process and takes awhile. The school has only been around since 2004, it's going to take time for everything to come together. It is also harder b/c they are both a BSN and ADN school, which requires a lot of different requirements.
I currently work at both U of Colorado Hospital and The Children's Hospital and both are willing to hire me upon graduation. I graduate in Sept 2010 and we should have all 3 accreditations by then if things go according to plan.

Hi Niecystewka,

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get hired with a sign-on bonus so much that would help pay for the tuition???

I would love to know about all the opportunities so that I know where to look when appling for jobs as a RN. Thanks in advance!

bfrdncr41 - that's so great to hear both of those hospitals are willing to hire you!!! Especially Univ. of Colo., they've been so stickler about DSN, so I didn't think they'd be open so quickly!

They are waiting for us to get NLN accreditation and said they have been waiting for awhile! They look forward to hiring our grads according to the new grad program coordinator. So that's great news for DSN!

Hi! I'm interested in applying to the BSN program at DSoN for July 2010. Can anyone tell me about the application process? I am just confused.. on the website it just gives a date (Jan 4) to call and set up an appointment.. I don't get it. Can someone just run me through this?
Thanks

You have to call on Jan. 4 to set up an interview. The catch is that you have to actually reach a live person, you can't leave a message. And if you don't get through to a live person before they fill up the interview spots, then you have to wait three months for the next day to call.
