CU is a 17 month program vs Regis 12 month, so Regis is going to be a little bit more stressful since you won't have the extra time. I believe you get breaks with CU. Both are comparable, I think it's a personal decision of what you have going on in your life. I like the shorter program at Regis. But I also didn't get into CU to make that decision. There's another forum for people in your boat. https://allnurses.com/colorado-state-nursing/cu-versus-regis-508738.html . Also I'm not sure how important school ranking is but CU is ranked #15 Best Nursing Programs | Top Nursing Schools | US News Best Graduate Schools . Just to give some perspective. And congrats!! And Good luck!
