Is anyone else applying to Otero Junior College in La Junta for Fall of 2009? Or is anyone in the program right now? Graduated from it? I'm interested in talking to people familiar with it. I received...
Well, I heard it's easier to get into than the other BSN programs in Colorado. I sure hope so! I have a couple of C's in my prereq classes, so I'm afraid that'll hurt me wherever I apply, but I don't...
Hi! I had to call the school and ask to be transferred to the nursing department; no one would ever answer the number on the nursing department website. I had to pay $25 to apply to CSU, but there was...
Has anyone else applied to the CSU Pueblo degree plus program for summer of 2010? I just turned in my application. I haven't heard too many great things about the program, which is discouraging, but I...

I'm trying to find out more info about the Yuma program also! The info I've received so far is very limited; I don't even know if it starts in 2009 or later. I e-mailed the contact person to see if I...
I applied to one school for Fall 2009! I finished all the pre-reqs: Statistics, A&P 1&2, Bio, Chem, English, Nutrition, Human Development, etc. My overall GPA is a 3.4 and I will probably...
