Info on UCHSC and Colorado???

by tineann

Hi-
Am thinking of relocating from the east coast where I have worked for 10 years (last 8 yrs on psych inpatient unit). Am considering returning to school to obtain a MSN - either psych CNS or psych NP and am thinking about applying to UCHSC. Can anyone give me some inside info on this school - even better yet, specific info on the psych program?

Any other info on Colorado and places to live outside of Denver that would not require a long commute ( not say, more than 30-40 mins each way). Ideally, some kind of view of the mountains but can't afford a $500,000 place. In other words, is there anything affordable in the surrounding Denver area? I want it all, I know... can't hurt to ask!!

Thanks in advance!
Christine

I'll tell you a secret. There is a place downtown about 4 blocks from the UCHSC and it's perfect for students. I lived there. It's small, there are only studios and 1 bedrom apts. It's a twelve story mid-rised building that houses both students and the elderly. Perfect location next to Lodo (the strip) and practically across the street form Coors field.

But...only 4-500 per month!!! Utilities included!!! And Cable TV...sort of. The only problem I had was that you can't yet get highspeed internet there.

It's called the Tamai Towers. But there is a waiting list. Call and get in now, it took me a year to get in, but I hear it's usually around a year to two.

It's in Sakura Square (the Japanese Cultural mall/shopping place) Great location that nobody knows about.

Yeah, I'm Half Japanese. I'll lose my membership if I don't.

As for the apartments...yeah it is ghetto by any stretch. Carpet had something left to be desired as it's old and out dated, but it's a find if you can get in. And NO ethnicity has nothing to do with it. There just happens to be a lot of asians there.

I loved it. Hit lodo, and then WALK home. Although, it kinda encourages drinking a bit. :hatparty:

Hi fellow CO nurses! I live in north Capitol Hill and I love it. I don't have a car so it is perfect for me, three bus lines and everything I need just a block or two from my apartment. There are tons of hospitals right near me, UCHSC is about a 15 minute bus ride away. Right now, the market for housing in this area has gone down and prices for rentals are bottoming out so housing is not as expensive as you would think for a downtown apartment.
