  1. Denver School Of Nursing vs Front Range Community College

    [COLOR=#000000][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]I haven't been on in a while but this post took me bysurprise. I'm not sure what terrible things” you're reading about DSN unlessyou're referring to posts that have been talked about here a long time ago. Nonur...
  2. Is Denver School of Nursing worth the time and money

    I'm a DSN graduate from several years ago, even before they got the NLNAC (now ACEN) and HLC regional accreditation. I can honestly say it was not only a great place to learn but I made some lifelong friends as we all stayed together for 21 months an...
  3. i just received this email from dsn yesterday. as a graduate from the bsn program last year i'm so proud of my school! i knew they would get it. this just confirms what a ton of people in the medical field already know about the high quality of the p...
  4. Is Denver School of Nursing worth it?

    My dad always told me “You get what you pay for” and in the case of DSN he was 100% correct! If you look at my comments on this site you’ll see that I’m (like a ton of other DSN grads) very happy with the education received and the skills I was train...
  5. How to get into Denver School of Nursing- BSN

    When I applied to DSN a few years ago they loaned me a study guide for the entrance test at my application meeting with Kelly. I came back about 3 weeks later and took the test and did ok. I didn't think it was that difficult but I did study for it. ...
  6. DSN competitive?

    I'm not sure where those Google search sites get their information so I'm not sure how valid it is. As far as the DSN information link is concerned, don't forget that DSN has around 500 students in their various nursing programs. They offer a BSN Com...
  7. DSN competitive?

    I don't want to get in an argument with you. But before I graduated we took HESI tests every quarter to help us prepare to pass the NCLEX. I passed the first time no problem and I think a lot of that was due to the confidence I got from taking the HE...
  8. DSN competitive?

    I just called my friend that is still at DSN and she said the HESI test is part of the final quarter Capstone course along with your with the Capstone Clinical and everything else that's part of that course. Like any college course, if you don't pass...
  9. DSN competitive?

    I'm not sure where SummitAP is getting her info but DSN like all Nursing schools cannot keep a graduate from taking the NCLEX exam. Everyone that graduates from DSN takes the NECLEX exam. If you don't pass your courses and all of your tests at any sc...
  10. DSN competitive?

    I think the way the admissions worked when I enrolled was that if you met the qualifications and passed the entrance exam you would start. I'm sure with the NLNAC accreditation they'll start getting more applications, but with four big starts a year ...
  11. DSN competitive?

    Your original question was about how competitive it is to get into DSN. I know that because they start four times a year they don't have a waitlist. The next sentence is off of the DSN website when you click on Application Deadlines page and then cli...
  12. Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    I just was told by I friend that I mistakenly put in the post above that each quarter at DSN was 13 months long. DUUHHH it's actually 13 weeks long. So, the BSN completion program I graduated from had seven eleven week quarters or 21 months total. So...
  13. Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    The program is actually 21 months long. We had 11 weeks in school with 2 weeks off in between, so each quarter is 13 months. We had a TON of lab and simulations that most of the faster programs don't require. I think those extra hours really prepared...
  14. LPN to RN programs in Denver

    I know when I was at Denver School of Nursing they had a one year LPN to ADN program. I'm pretty sure they still have one, but I don't think they start it 4 times a year anymore. You should check it out. I loved DSN!!
  15. Denver School of Nursing is now NLNAC Accredited!

    The only bad reviews about DSN is on that bogus website. If you look at the other threads I and others have posted you'll see that DSN has a great reputation. Their NCLEX pass rates are amoung the highest in the state. My friend that's still attendin...
  16. Denver School of Nursing is now NLNAC Accredited!

    You're right that DSN is a candidate for HLC accreditation (it's right on their website). I've been told by my friends that are still at DSN, that they have their initial accreditation visit set for mid May next year. If you've read any of my earlier...
  17. Denver School of Nursing is now NLNAC Accredited!

    I've talked to a few of my friends that still attend the BSN at DSN and they said that the school has aleady had graduates get accepted in Masters degree programs at several Universities like CU Colorado Springs, Duke, Tulane, Georgetown, U of Califo...
  18. I'm a DSN grad from 2011. I'm sooo tired of people being upset by the negative blogs that are on a (for all the schools that have blogs) negative blog website. I received an excellent education and have a fantastic job! Just because a few students th...
  19. The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Private For-Profit Schools

  21. Denver School of Nursing--BSN experience

    I'm a DSN graduate but I have several friends that went through the application process last year. They told me it takes about 6 weeks after the application deadline date before you get a phone call to set up you application interview. My friend that...
