My only problem with the DSON is that it would cost $34,000 for an RN AAS as opposed to $15,000 in the Community Colleges.

Cap Hill is where everyone lives in their 20's. Sloans Lake / Highlands (not Highlands Ranch) is a bit more age appropriate and quieter for those of us closer to 30. Wash Park is awesome and one of the most expensive places to live in Denver, but on occasion you can find good rental prices. It really depends on what you are used to. I personally like the Highlands, area more than Cap Hill. But I wouldnt be opposed to living there again. Glendale isnt a lovely area but there is plenty to rent and its near Cherry Creek Mall. The Uptown area is very nice but the rental prices reflect that.

You can search for nationally accredited schools here: http://nlnac.org/Forms/directory_search.htm But most of the schools in Colorado are accredited by the Colorado State Board.. Im sure any advisor would be happy to tell you all of their accreditations.

Hi All! First I have to say I am so turned off by how, seemingly, difficult it is to get into Nursing! Why all the obstacles? I am only in my second semester of prerequisites while working full time. I had hoped I could go to school full time next semester. But Ive discovered I have 4 semesters of Biology to take (and only 2 other classes) and they must all be taken sequentially. OK, fine, another year+. But then I discover the wait list. You must complete the prereqs before you can get on the wait list... and the wait list is 2-3 years! O M G. (and this is just for the AAS RN) So! Im trying to look for schools all around the country with shorter wait lists. I cant seem to find anything that lists the duration for all or a group of schools. Does this mean I must call each and every school individually? :angryfire I know you all have dealt with this. How is this extreme wait time acceptable? I understand there is a shortage of teachers, but it would seem the medical community would try to get more nurses in - maybe by pointing potentials towards other schools. I guess Im frustrated by being forced to wait with no incentive to do so. If I were actually learning something over those 2-3 years it would be different. Any ideas? Im even willing to move to another state just to get the ball rolling. Thanks a million!
