The school only provides Sally Mae loans. If you can somehow get a personal loan for that amount then you would be fine.

I was extremely excited to hear, when I called to find out what pre-reqs I needed to take before applying, that they now include the pre-reqs in the programs. So instead of being six eleven week quarters, it is now eight. (this is for the associates degree) So basically, no waitlist, pre-reqs are offered/included, and its an all around plus! The only negative is the financing...which can be worked with! I talked to Jeff Johnson, he was very helpful and enthusiastic! He told me that the n-clex pass rate over the last few years is above 90%, higher than any community colege in the state! So I am really excited, I plan to meet with him in June, and start in October! Wish me luck!! I will continue to post!

I actually just went on the Denver Board of Nursing website, and what he said about the nclex-rn pass rates aren't true. It says 2006 61.3% 2007 90.2% for the BSN Program and 2006 72.1% 2007 93.6% for the ADN program.

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!!

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

[bfrdncr41]

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?

[bfrdncr41]

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?

[bfrdncr41]

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.

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