Looking for LPN school in Colorado

[phines8098]

I am looking for a LPN program in Colorado. I heard Emily Griffith has a great program but I want to later move into RN program. I also checked in Regis What do you think?

salsaking have you figured out financing yet? I am going to look into various private loans as well as sallie mae. I talked to Jeff today and he is sending out conditions of admission this week, so look into that!!

[salsaking]

What is condition of admissions? I have not figured out financing yet, it's looking hopeless for me.

[albpreemieRN]

You need to sign the conditions of admission to be accepted to the school. It's the step after they receive your application. I talked to Jeff about the Sallie Mae loan and he said to look at all other options too. I think it's $3000 as a down payment and $1600/mo.

[salsaking]

I have not sent in my application yet, he told me to hold off and just turn it in when I go and visit the school in a couple of weeks. the $3000 down and $1600 a month, is that if you pay by cash?

[albpreemieRN]

yes it's if you pay cash. I'm looking into finding a private loan that will pay me so I can pay the school.

Let me know what you think of the school when you visit!!

[salsaking]

Are you sending your application through the mail because you are not local? Which program are you applying for?

[albpreemieRN]

I already sent in my application, I will be visiting the school in July. I heard A LOT of good things about DSoN so I'm not concerned. I'm appling for the Oct 08 BSN program. :)

[salsaking]

Cool, me too! Maybe we'll be classmates?

[albpreemieRN]

that would be cool if we were! :)

Do you know if we can do any other type of loan? The only thing I worry about at this point is money.

[albpreemieRN]

Also can my fiance co-sign on the sallie mae loan since we aren't married yet?

Hi ladies, sorry to say that I can't go to DSON after all. My mom doesn't want to be the co-signer for such a big loan, and I have no one else with great credit willing to co-sign with me. I wish there were other financial aid available, because it's a good school. However, for me, the Sallie Mae loan would have had a variable interest rate of 11%, and the payment after I graduate would have been about $520 a month. There's no way I can afford that, even as an RN, not with a child and several other bills to pay. It's too bad. I will be going to Concorde, however, for their LPN program. It's not cheap, but I will get full Pell grant for both financial years and Stafford loans, so that should cover it. Good luck to all of you that are DSON students and those considering going to DSON. I wish that others won't have as much financial difficulty with it as me. Best wishes to all future nurses! :)
