Jeffco puts out great nurses. Excellent clinical skills. Jump in if you can. They usually have a waiting list but worth the wait.

I graduated from Jeffco in 1994 as RN. All the instructors did a wonderful job.

McDaniels, Clayton, Eimer(who was stricken with cancer) she was wonderful loved them all. I feel they sent me out to work being completely competent and I would recommend Jeffco to anyone.

Specializes in LTC.

I'm a happy Jeffco grad; got my PN certificate and am back for the RN.

Check out the NCLEX pass rates, and also how many students who start the program actually finish. Saving money doesn't do you much good if you don't pass the NCLEX and can't practice. Some SLCC campuses seem to have better programs than others. Jeffco is inexpensive and effective.

Stats are available here for the PN; I can't seem to locate the RN stats:

They're down on page 5, under Associate's degrees or whatever the heading reads (sorry, it's very late)....looks like 91.something% for last year..

I got my LPN from JeffCo in 1994. I was so prepared for state boards that it only took me 20 minutes to take and pass them. In my jobs I felt (and so did the other nurses and supervisors) that I had extremely better skills than nurses who attended other schools. The passing rate that year was 100%, or close to it. Best decision I ever made.
