MSU Denver ANO Program

Published

Hello All!

My name is Ashton and I am in the process of completing my prerequisites for MSU Denver's accelerated nursing program. I graduated from Metro in 2012 and went to graduate school for a semester for counseling and decided that nursing was for me! I just wanted to know from others what helps a person getting into this program?

I have my CNA and volunteer experience, but no healthcare experience. So far I am doing well in my pre-reqs, I think I may bust through three of them this summer so that I can apply for Jan 2014. I have three pre-reqs left.

Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated :)

what three pre-recs do you have left?

A and P II l, micro, patho. Denver school of nursing doesn't require patho

Yeah, but if you want to be ahead of the game, I would take patho before starting! trust me! I work at UCH and my DSN friends recommend taking it before you get in. If you don't take it, you will have to take it and your first two quarters will be very difficult. It's up to you though.

Do you think they will let me start in patho in August at another school and still be taking it when I start DSN in October? Because I have heard that too...I've taken my other pre reqs at acc and have loved my classes and teachers and would like to still take patho there.

I don't think they will. :/ If you like ACC, how come you don't want to apply to their ADN program?

Because I already have a bachelors and want to go for my BSN :)

I already have a bachelor's degree as well and I'm considering the ADN program at ACC. I see more benefits than none going that route. 1. it's wayyy more affordable 2. you can work as an RN and do a BSN bridge program...that way you are making money and have the potential of having an employer pay for your schooling. Just a thought though! :)
