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?

Katie, could you give me an update on how school's going? Also, could you give me any more info about your standby situation - like did you know what number you were in line? I also got placed on standby for the upcoming year and I really want to get in!!! Any more info would be appreciated. Thanks. :)

Hi Nick,

Fb page sounds great. I am in.

I did contact metro about the paperwork for the background/drug checks. They assured me with the literal term "no worries" that it would be in the mail in the next couple of weeks. The no worries thing bugged me, as it didn't seem too professional but whatever.

Nick and Dennis, what are your last names and I can send you a friend request? Although, I understand if you are a little apprehensive to put your last names up on this board. We could figure something else out if need be.

How about this, I will get a group page up within the next two-three days and post the link here, that way if people want to join they can, and then everyone can become friends off of that. I am worried about the paperwork because I am going out of town Dec 10-Jan 3 and wanted some of the stuff figured out by then, hopefully they send it out soon.

That sounds perfect Nick. Thank you.

As far as the paperwork, I too am worried because I don't know how long the screening takes and we are suppose to be enrolled in classes by Dec 18. At least that is what my email said. I think they just take their time and aren't really concerned with our worries so much. That is a university for you.

I have created a basic page, you should be able to go to this link and then just hit join. Everything should be open to all, but I did make it so you have to ask to join and then be accepted in case we don't want everyone seeing what we post.

I guess it's good they haven't sent he paperwork yet as opposed to it having gotten lost. But I'm getting a bit anxious about it as well. Not that I'm worried about not passing it, but I need to give my notice at work before Christmas so I really want to have everything set by then. I'd just feel a lot more comfortaable about quitting my job.

I am in the same boat as you Dennis. I have to know soon because I have to give notice at work. UGH

There are areas of Denver that are not within the City of Denver. You might want to look at Glendale or Holly Hills which are both Arapahoe County, yet completely surrounded by the City of Denver.

Great, thank you.

Hello out there!

I recently received my acceptance letter to Platt College for the Jan. 4 start date, class #16. I am VERY excited. I am VERY, VERY excited but very nervous too. I have not met with financial aid yet, which is where a lot of my angst lies. Is there anyone out there that can give me some insight? I realize every situation is unique; however, I am trying to get an idea of what to be prepared for.

I met with the Denver School of Nursing and they had decent options, such as, federal aid (which doesn't cover the cost,) then an alternative loan which most cases require a co-signer, the if that doesn't work, you can take an in-house loan which you pay for as you go. Does anyone know if Platt offers a similar deal?

I meet with them next week, but here I am, can't sleep, hoping someone can ease my fears a little.

Also, would love to share in the excitement with my future classmates if there is anyone else out there who has been accepted for this class. The TEAS test was FREAKING HARD for me. Not so much the Reading and English, but the math about killed me.

Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm also accepted to the May 2010 cohort, and I'll be moving from Oregon. I thought it would be nice to live in the student housing, since it's furnished and pretty close to campus, but I called and was told there probably won't be openings until August. If anyone wants to maybe look for a summer sublet together, hit me up! I'm guessing we'll probably get more info as it gets closer, but I'm really excited to be accepted, since Regis was my first choice.

Hey!

Does anyone know anything about the RN to BSN program. I am looking to move to the Denver area this summer after I graduate from my ADN program. I'm hoping to find some sort of job and go to school part time to get my BSN. Any suggestions would be welcomed!
