  1. Platt college?

    PA was my first choice but I applied three times and didn't get in. I've started at an accelerated BSN program that is NLN accredited so Platt's accreditation is irrelevant to me know.
  2. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    If you actually get through. If you don't get through before the interview spots are filled you have to wait three months for the next call date.
  3. Info on Denver School of Nursing

    You have to call on Jan. 4 to set up an interview. The catch is that you have to actually reach a live person, you can't leave a message. And if you don't get through to a live person before they fill up the interview spots, then you have to wait t...
  4. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    That's too bad. But as you said, at least you can take some pride in knowing you got in!
  5. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I applied to CU and Regis. I'm not expecting to get into CU, and my Regis interview was postponed because of the snowstorm. The main reason Metro is last is because I'd much rather start in May than January. I also have a much better feeling about...
  6. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I got my acceptance today! It's my third choice, but it's nice to know I'm in somewhere.
  7. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I had TH for a different online class and I thought he was much better online than in-person. My experience is that in general, the CCC Online classes are easier than the individual school ones. The exceptions I found are PHI 115 and 116. The teac...
  8. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    The last I heard from them, they said November.
  9. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    It sounds like they've put a little more into it than when I took it.
  10. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    He should look into Platt. That will get him a BSN and they have candidate status for NLN accreditation.
  11. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I took it a couple of years ago. There were quizzes for each chapter, I think 15 total (one per week) and they are timed at an hour for each, which is plenty of time. There was a paper and some other assignments, plus discussion you have to partici...
  12. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I didn't do a full visit, I just talked to the admissions people at the open house in April. They seemed fine - I didn't get an overwhelming feeling one way or the other. As I said in the other thread, I don't have a good feeling about the program ...
  13. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I started a thread on this a few weeks ago and there were some good replies - https://allnurses.com/colorado-nurses/any-current-former-418280.html
  14. Platt college?

    Raicho, that's great it worked so well for you. As I said, it seems like a good program, but I can't afford to be out of work for 3 years. I'm married with two kids and we can't afford to lose a paycheck for that long. As for grad school, my whol...
  15. Platt college?

    Sand_Dollar, I did apply to the accelerated programs at CU, Regis and Metro this year. I don't think I have a chance at CU with my GPA, though, but hopefully one of them will come through. But if not, I need a backup plan.
  16. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    A lot of programs require both.
  17. Platt college?

    I went the the info session yesterday. It seems like a good program, as much as you can tell from an info session. On the transfer credits, they will accept science classes less than 5 years old and gen ed classes less than 8 years old. That elmin...
  18. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I took PSY 235 and I'm guessing it's similar to 101. The exams are timed - they were an hour but that was more than enough time. And there were two papers that were pretty short, about 5 pages each. And the other component is discussions that you ...
  19. Platt college?

    They don't have it yet, they are still in candidate status. But that is farther than DSN is. My concern is that I don't want to have to take 3 years to get a BSN when I already have an undergard degree (and a masters for that matter) and all of the...
  20. anyone applying to CU for 2010?

    I haven't heard anything yet either.
  21. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Maybe it's the CCNE? They don't even have a list of accredited programs on their website, let alone the ones under consideration.
  22. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    That's good to know they are working on it!
  23. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    Most grad schools will not accept ACCSCT, they only accept NLN or CCNE. DSN does have an agreement with the University of Phoenix so they will accept DSN grads for their masters programs. According to the NLN website, DSN is not currently a candidat...
  24. Looking for LPN school in Colorado

    I didn't sit through the info session, I just talked to the admin people who were there. They said they changed the schedule to align it to the regular Metro semester schedule, so it's four semesters - spring, summer, fall and spring. I didn't ask ...
  25. Platt college?

    Thanks for the reply. How long did it take you to go through the program with your transfer credit? On the accreditation, I want to become an NP and all of the NP programs require your BSN to be from a school with NLN or the other national accredita...
