   I know! There is a girl in my class that applied the same day as me and her status still says screen... I don't know if that means anything though. Good luck everyone! It would be nice if we all get it and have a chance to get to know each other befo...

   I applied as well and received an email on 4/22 saying they forwarded me to a hiring manager and my application status says "Route". I want this SO bad! I just wish they weren't waiting until 5/17 to make calls for interviews!

   Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone could give me advice as to how to stand out and get into the residency program. I am graduating in June and applying for the August start date (hopefully I can sit for the NCLEX early enough). I have a 3.62 GP...

   Hi there! I am a DSN BSN student who will be graduating in June! DSN has very challenging quarters (which is to be expected in an accelerated program) and what I mean is they pack a lot of info into 7 quarters. While the first quarter is really hard,...

   Most are 18 months, they get 1 week breaks. We get two week breaks. That is the difference. Also some have 10 weeks of didactic classes in a quarter whereas DSN has 11 week quarters.

   Actually, I live in apartments at the lightrail station. I never drive anywhere, however apartments near the light rail are expensive, as are lofts and apartments down town. Denver as a whole is a pretty expensive city. My recommendation is to rent a...

    The average schedule is 3-5 days a week being in class from 4-10 hours a day. Sometimes you have long gaps between classes because they follow lecture with labs for some classes. There are lots of students in each cohort, 60! So, it is divided alphab...

    The first few quarters are rough. You do not have to keep applying, I don't think. If you pass HESI you get in. You just may have to wait longer to start. I do not recommend working. I worked at a hospital as CNA the first two quarters an it just abo...

    It is not hard to get in. You have to take a HESI (they will give you the study guide first) and as long as you pass you should get in. If you have to take any pre-reqs take it at DSN as there is not wait list then (ex. if you need nutrition, take it...

    The last NLN visit in February went great! I attended one of the forums and it they really liked us! Last year when they visited and decided we needed to do more to get accredited, it was because 1.) Our students were not involved in much. Now, our S...

    I am a current DSN student. I am in the full BSN and am in my second quarter of the actual RN courses. However I have been at DSN since April 2010, as I took my pre-req there as well ( so actually this is my 8th quarter at DSN). I must say that I hav...

    OH! And for those of you wondering about accreditation, the NLNAC conducted a visit and recommended us for accreditation. I sent an email to Dr. Banik and asked her when we would know for sure. She told me that TWO boards of nurses have to vote and a...
