Denver School of Nursing July 2014 Start

[nursinghopeful233]

Hello, My name is Sierra and wanted to start this thread for students applying to DSN and students at DSN to ask questions and such. I would like to talk to others applying!

I want to start off by asking: Since DSN does not have an online application process, we are supposed to send in our application materials. We can apply from November 15- January 1st. I know that the sooner the better send sending in applications, but don't know if I should/ could send in my application that Monday, the 11th? What do you guys think?

Hi there. I have also been reading different threads about DSN and a lot of them have been mixed reviews as well. What I'd like to know is if DSN is accredited? I heard that its NLNAC accredited but is it also CCNE accredited? I just need to know if I can continue on with my Master's in nursing after completing my BSN at DSN. Thanks for the info

If you have questions about the school's accreditation, I would recommend contacting them directly. They are very helpful and can answer your questions specifically. We did just receive our HLC accreditation within the past couple of months.

DSN has all the accreditations now- national and regional. We have NLNAC (now the ACEN)and HLC. Per website:

Yes, Denver School of Nursing has both programmatic and institutional accreditation as outlined below.Programmatic Accreditation

For the students who have been there before I have applied I was doing well in school but some events in my life turned me to have some dropping grades for example I raised a 1.0 anatomy grade to a 3.9 I also have cover 100 volunteer hours and work as a health information management representative for the fransiscan health system. Does Dsn really value the whole student even with things like hardships that occurred in my life ?

Hi! I turned in my application last Saturday for the July start! I'm excited but very nervous! I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet, I'm guessing because of the holidays, but it makes me nervous that maybe I messed up somewhere! Ah! I'm going to be nervous until I hear something!

[Studylots34]

I called UC Denver's campus and spoke to one of the ladies in the nursing department about the same thing. She said as long as you've graduated after the time of when DSN received their accreditation you can apply for any master's program for NP at UC Denver. Hope that helps:)

Hey there!

I mailed in my application for July 2014 start on Dec 27 and have not received a confirmation email. I know it is still early , but has anyone who applied for July start received a confirmation yet?

[stephaniesoto]

no I have not yet. Do they usually do that?

[avp7401]

I received an email about a week after I sent mine in. It was just a general "we received your application" email, nothing to exciting. This was back in October though. I'm sure with the holidays and the admission deadline things are a little hectic. If you have concerns about whether they received it you can call. The admissions people are super, super nice and helpful.

Okay I will try that do u thin I should retake a class that I got a c- in and not a "c" in for one of the prerequisites? I think that they must be busy so that's why I'm trying to be patient just want to know it made it there !

[nursinghopeful233]

I did receive a confirmation e-mail, and was told what information I still needed to send in that I did not provide. So even if you did mess up they will let you know what materials are still needed! :)
