Hi, I recently got accepted into the Fort Collins program and start next month. I would agree this field is highly competitive, but not impossible to get a job. It definitely depends on how hard you work and it helps to know a few people that may help you with connections, a friend of mine graduated in Dec and started working by March. With that said, Front Range does have a dual enrollment program where you take online classes through CU in Colorado Springs for a BSN, after your first semester of nursing school. So, it is possible to get your BSN while you are working on your ADN.
