Hi there I am an LPN who went to concorde. I would like to tell you that all of my RN friends that went to concorde found really good jobs....and right away......... some in the hospitals and a couple of them went the LTC routt. I also have a friend who got her BSN at the DSoN and now works at Denver Health which was her first choice on where she wanted to work!!! Good luck with your future schooling-Maria

castilme,
Can i ask hen you attended the LPN program at concorde? I am set to start there in August. I had heard a few bad things about their program and it had made me a little nervous. I want to go on to get my RN ( it just isn't financiallly posiible for me to right now) and was wondering if you know of any other schools accept transferred credits from concorde? Also, have you had a hard time finding a job? I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone with any input in regards to this. Thanks in advance.

I am a current student at FRCC Westminster (LOVE IT! :redpinkhe)and I cannot imagine spending the kind of money it takes to go to Concorde or DSN. I am getting the same education for roughly 15000 (with living expenses) at FRCC. I know that DSN has the bachelors but for me it was not worth it. Good luck to you.
The price is much cheaper, but like for me in which I graduated from DSON Dec. 07... who in the HeCk wants to wait 4+ years to get into nursing school. It goes both ways. I have already paid off half my school loan w/i my first year of nursing!!

I agree with you. It may be cheaper but getting into school faster and working sooner pays off the loan. Plus, for me, getting my BSN in 21 months was a perk. I don't want to have to go back to school once I'm working as an RN.
