Looking for LPN school in Colorado

U.S.A. Colorado

Published

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?

I didn't get in. So it looks like I'm going to Metro.

That's too bad. I'm sure Metro is going to be great as well though. Have you applied to CU as well?

I need to take an intro to Chemistry class before starting my nursing program in May and was wondering at which school to take it. I have taken Biology classes at ACC before and was less than impressed with the staff and structure of the classes. However, ACC is very conveniently located and would cut my driving time in less than half. Has anybody taken Chemistry classes at ACC before? How was the staff, did you like the course structure?

TIA!

I'm taking Chem 103, the basic chemistry class, at ACC right now. I've taken general chem a long time ago, but this is a lot easier. I have one test left and need a 50% to keep my A. I have a great teacher who actually cares about people understanding and not just giving you the information. She also speaks highly of other teachers. The environment is a little different than my other nursing pre-reqs because a lot of the kids in Chem are younger and taking general courses, so there are some slackers. Not like A&P where everyone seems really focused and going to nursing school.

Yes, but I haven't heard anything yet.

I understand why Metro changed their start date, but it's annoying because I have to make a decision by January and can't wait to see if I get into Regis or CU. It would be nice to have the flexibility to have everything final before having to decide where to go. But this is how it is so what can you do.

I agree, the various start dates make it impossible to wait for all admission decisions before deciding which school to choose. I applied at CU as well but will be well into my remaining prerequisites for Regis before I find out if I got accepted. I believe we are supposed to get admission letters sometime in February/ March?

I made the priority deadline so there's an off-chance I could get accepted this month, but odds are I'll be deferred until March.

cool thanks oneone, that's encouraging!

Anyone have any idea where they're living? I'm hoping to get an apt close to school so I don't have to waste much time driving around. Have you guys heard much about the absn/pt housing? I like how the place is already furnished so I don't need to drive a uhaul from seattle!

Well, I'm still hesitant. I think Regis or CU is the way I must go... if I go through and get a DSN BSN and later they get NLN, I don't think schools are going to retroactively recognize my credits for MSN... are they?

It's too bad because CU is impossible to get into and Regis is still hard and costs 50% more than DSN.

SummitAP - we all have different paths we must take...I can't wait for CU and Regis too ridiculously expensive for me, although I am confident with my grades and background, I could get into both. I think DSN is a great school, despite being young. The founders and teachers look to mostly be graduates of the aforementioned schools, so I feel confident I'll be getting a great education. They should get there accreditation before you'd graduate, it doesn't take too long after they get candidacy. CU told me that it had to be within 3 years of your graduation date for it to be recognized, but others schools have told me as long as they are NLN accredited when you apply, it doesn't matter, they aren't going to go back and check dates. Good luck!
