  1. Job Market in Colorado

    albpreemieRN replied to L&DRN2010's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I haven't seen it either and I work for both Children's and UCH. I know the new grad programs are competitive though, so that may have something to do with it. The best advice I can give is get your...

  2. Denver School of Nursing question??

    albpreemieRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Yeah, I think people need to weigh the pros and cons and decide for themselves which route is the best. I am hoping to have a job where I currently work once I graduate. I have already spoken to the...

  3. What's the deal with Platt College in Aurora?

    albpreemieRN replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I know there are a few threads on here about Platt. I would do a search and see what the students from there have to

  4. Which is the best route to take for my BSN?

    albpreemieRN replied to dddduncan's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I don't think anyone can necessarily tell you what is the best route for YOU. The best advice I can give is research programs and see what fits in with your schedule and lifestyle. Good luck to

  5. Denver School of Nursing question??

    albpreemieRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    That is something to consider. I honestly wouldn't pay the tuition for an ADN degree. I think for a BSN it is pretty competitive with other schools. I am also hoping the job market is better when I...

  6. Denver School of Nursing question??

    albpreemieRN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Colorado Nursing

    did you get your questions answered by someone at the school? I am currently enrolled in the Sallie Mae loan program, and just filled out a FAFSA. I can't really answer your question b/c with the...

  7. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

    albpreemieRN replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    where did I say I owned the school? I attend there so thus it is my school and I am going to defend it. I was not the person who started any of the negative postings. Saying that DSN's admissions...

  9. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

    albpreemieRN replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sorry if I offended anyone, it just isn't cool when people who don't know what they are talking about try to play it off like they do. I've gotten tired of trying to defend my school to people like...

  10. Thoughts on Denver School of Nursing?

    albpreemieRN replied to JettaDP's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Don't get your panties in a twist for goodness sakes. Why are you so vested in what they are doing as a school if you aren't going there or don't plan on ever going there? I am just curious. The fact...

  12. Concorde vs DSON

    albpreemieRN replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I agree with you. It may be cheaper but getting into school faster and working sooner pays off the loan. Plus, for me, getting my BSN in 21 months was a perk. I don't want to have to go back to school...

  13. Denver School of Nursing Schedule

    albpreemieRN replied to johnston1211's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I can't speak for the ADN program but the BSN's first quarter for us (Jan 09) was Tues, Wed, Thurs. If you were in Patho it was Tues 10a-7p, Wed 9a-5p and Thurs 9a-4p. If you weren't it was Tues...

    albpreemieRN replied to RNtwoBE's topic in Colorado Nursing

    albpreemieRN replied to RNtwoBE's topic in Colorado Nursing

    albpreemieRN replied to RNtwoBE's topic in Colorado Nursing

    albpreemieRN replied to RNtwoBE's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I do go there, I'm in the Jan 09 BSN cohort. So far I have had a good experience with the school. I don't know why they don't list financial aid on the website, but it is an option

    albpreemieRN replied to rwh998877's topic in Colorado Nursing
