Looking for a School in Denver, ADN Program

Hello!

I currently live in florida and want to move to Denver as soon as I finish my Paramedic program here. I do not have all of the pre reqs for most nursing schools and plan to finish them while working as a Paramedic out in Denver. I want to get to working and making a decent salary soon after I move to Denver. I have been looking at schools and I believe i have only found one school that has a ADN program option and not just a BSN option, which is the Denver School of Nursing. I have not found too many reviews on the school and I am hoping it would be a good program. I do want to get my BSN but I want to have a more stable salary while finishing the pre reqs for pursuing my BSN. I know it sounds like I am trying to avoid my BSN in total but I am currently not in a good situation living at home and need to get a job where I will be comfortable, salary wise. I do truly want to be a nurse and seeing that there are not many ADN programs offered in denver, it gets me thinking that maybe most places of work are looking for BSN's only. I hope this isn't the case. I feel like i need guidance.

Thank you for your help!

Will

    Research job postings that are currently available in Denver to see if they state BSN required or preferred. If they do, you may have difficulty finding a job with an ADN, especially in acute care. For finding schools, go to the CO BON website and look for a list of approved programs.

    Several community colleges here have ADN programs. Denver is a very tough market even with a BSN, FYI. Are you hoping to stay here after you graduate?

    Yeah, I do. I Love Colorado and have been wanting to live in Denver for awhile. Which Community Colleges around are you talking about?

    thanks
