2. Which is the best route to take for my BSN?

   LuckyKelleyK replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado

   Denver school of nursing's BSN program isn't 60,000 dollars. Its more like 40,000. Time is also a factor, it will take much more time in school to do the ADN-BSN route. So its a toss up.

3. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

   LuckyKelleyK replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado

   The reason that DSN is probably not on the candidate list is that the list was last updated Dec 15, 2008. The ACCST accreditation was received in January. Accreditation is a process, but I know for sure that DSN is jumping through the hoops. I know t...

   LuckyKelleyK replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado

   Yep, I know we will have accreditation by the time I graduate. Even if they didn't, as long as it was accredited a year or 2 after I graduate it would still be fine. Most masters program require a MINIMUM 1 year practice as a RN before you can apply....

   LuckyKelleyK replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado

   I am a current BSN student at DSN, and if you check the FAFSA website we have a federal school code now, so you can get federal loans. I can tell you that for sure, over half of my tuition is covered by federal loans! That also means that the quarter...

6. Denver School of Nursing Schedule

   LuckyKelleyK replied to johnston1211's topic in Colorado

   Well, those were just two major things that stood out, but each class covers MINIMUM 6 chapters a week. Usually 8. And each chapter is many pages, so I left out the hundreds of pages of reading. It's only the first week so I am sure it will get more ...

11. Concorde vs DSON

    LuckyKelleyK replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado

    Sand Dollar, I think you might have the HESI and the TEAS mixed up. The HESI is what you take to get accepted and it has no science. The TEAS you take the first week of class and it doesn't impact your standing, its just for statistical value.

12. Concorde vs DSON

    LuckyKelleyK replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado

    Yep, I already had my meeting for federal loans. Since they are accredited now I am sure you could get the ball rolling if you wanted to because the spots for each cohort are going to fill up faster now than ever before. If you have any other questio...

13. Concorde vs DSON

    LuckyKelleyK replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado

    Well, I don't know about concorde, but DSON actually is accredited, as of January. I really like the small size of the school, and all the faculty are very friendly. I am starting April 6th, so I will know more then! All of the DSON students who I ha...

14. DSON students- HELP, trying to get started
