Concorde

I am not sure what the hours would be for you daughter........but when i went to concorde (very 1st LPN class) we attended class hours 12noon - 6pm and the days we had clinicals we went to clinicals 6:30A - 3pm and of course there wasn't class on the day that we attended clinicals. As far as prereqs a&p, pharm were taking as part of the LPN program.....good luck to your daughter, she will do well....almost 13 years later and i don't regret taking the progam at all!!!

Just a note of caution: driving from the Springs to Denver in the winter can be very dicey. Monument Hill is just a BOOGER. Geographically it gets more snow, and since it is a long, gradual hill, it can be nasty to navigate in snow and ice.

And she won't be able to call and say, "Oops. Bad weather. See you guys tomorrow!"

This kind of weather doesn't happen every day in the winter, to be sure, but if one HAS to be there on a daily basis, I would consider the Monument Hill situation to definitely be a factor.

Best of luck to her!!!

I agree with Penny. I was in a similar situation years ago. I moved down to the Springs but was still working in Aurora. There were many times I couldn't make it over Monument Hill. It was complete white out, it was icey, just horrible. But I would call into work, and they would have nothing there. After awhile, I had to quit....or I probably would have been fired. It just wasn't worth it. And I would NOT suggest it.

Information from the Colorado BON site: Gloria Ohmart has accepted the position of Director of Nursing Education Programs (DNEP) at Concorde.

Cool, thanks for posting the info! :) I googled her and she seems like a very well-educated and interesting lady. She's a Certified Nurse-Midwife and RN, among other certifications. I can't wait to meet her. I hope she stays on as the Director for a good while.

Yep, Gloria O sure looks like she could do a great job. Very well-qualified.

I wanted to see if any of you went to Concorde that was talking about it and how did it go or how is it going? Thank you for responding!

Is anyone planning on going to DSON starting in July? I'm taking the test next week and would love to meet other potential students to hear what they'll be doing work wise while in the program. :)

:wink2:

just to clarify!! when does the RN program for Aurora Colorado really start!!?!?!?!? May 2009 or is it in July!?!!?!

I have no idea about this year, but it started in July last year. You might want to call to clarify.

I will be starting July 2009! Looks like it has been a while since this post. Anyone else out there? To answer your question Jessiejae I won't be working while in school. What are your plans?
