Thanks!

I started a thread on this a few weeks ago and there were some good replies - http://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses...er-418280.html

Alice88, thank you for your link, I had in fact read through it before but was hoping for a few more responses.
What was your feel about the school when you visited? I have heard some good and some pretty discouraging things about the program which is why I am trying to get more input from students who are actually experiencing the program.

Have you heard back from Metro regarding an admission decision? I too applied for the Jan '10 start date but have not heard back from Metro yet.

I didn't do a full visit, I just talked to the admissions people at the open house in April. They seemed fine - I didn't get an overwhelming feeling one way or the other. As I said in the other thread, I don't have a good feeling about the program based on the admissions process and my e-mail correspondence with them.

I haven't heard anything yet either - I thought they said we find out in late October or November. I have an interview with Regis in a few weeks and I'm hoping that works out. I have a much better feeling about them than Metro.

Congratulations to your interview at Regis! When is it? I got one as well, mine is the end of October.

I am in my first semester of the RN-BSN program at Metro. I have had a great experience so far. I found the admissions staff very helpful and responsive and did not have any trouble with communication back and forth.

As far as the admissions requirements, they provided a very clear list of what was needed. I simply printed the list and marked off each item as I turned it in.

My impression of the instructors is that they are very dedicated to teaching and are very enthusiastic. I'm taking 3 courses, with 3 different instructors and would definitely take courses from them again.

All in all, my experience has been nothing but positive and I look forward to the rest of my time at Metro!

study2Bnurse, thank you very much for your feedback about the program!
Personally, I found the admission staff very helpful as well and they always responded quickly to phone calls or e-mails. I am glad to hear that you are enjoying the program. It is wonderful to hear from current students first-hand about their experience, thanks again for your post and good luck with your studies!
