1. Denver School of Nursing's job placement rate, is it accurate?

   RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in Colorado

   NCLEX pass rates seem to be vary a lot year from year in the majority of Colorado colleges. Personally, I think that the 84% pass rate can be attributed to some extent to the candidates pool rather than the quality of instruction. DSN is more expensi...

2. What is Entry-Level Rank for Nurse Airforce, and what are working conditions?

   RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in Government

   Thanks for the responses everyone, I appreciate it! Lol I guess I was under the impression that the military would be a viable option for previous service candidates. Leaving the Marine Corps I'd been given a lot of really terrible information regard...

3. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

   RonaldLS replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

   @RNsRWe Thank you for the thorough answering of my questions! I really appreciate your advice, I'd never heard of the VALOR program before... I'll definitely give that a swing combined w/ some volunteer work while attending the Nursing program. Worse...

   Thanks for the info... I'm looking forward to starting the program! Most people seem to have nothing but good things to say about their experience @ DSN

5. Denver School Of Nursing vs Front Range Community College

   RonaldLS replied to Tre'Vone's topic in Colorado

   @Nursedenver Are the job placements rates advertised by DSN accurate in your experience? They say 97% of grads get a gig in 3 months, but that seems too good to be true.

   This is saying a rate as high as 97% for the following year: ED Gainful Employment Disclosure Template Just seems too good to be true after seeing so many recent grads having difficulties finding work on the forums...

7. Denver School of Nursing's job placement rate, is it accurate?

   RonaldLS posted a topic in Colorado

   Hey, question's in the title... DSoN claims a 93% job placement rate for BSNs in 2012. Is this really accurate? I've been told that this job placement rate is for Nursing jobs, not just random employment. http://www.denverschoolofnursing.edu/cig/Denv...

   RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in School Programs

   Interview process isn't a big deal, just bring in the required paperwork and be prepared to answer the question of why you want to work in Nursing or have chosen DSN. You'll spend an hour or two touring campus, checking out the facilities, etc. You'l...

9. What is Entry-Level Rank for Nurse Airforce, and what are working conditions?

   RonaldLS posted a topic in Government

   Hello, I'm prior service Marine Corps combat Vet (got out 3 years ago, Honorably)considering re-upping as a medical officer. I understand that I'll get OE pay b/c of prior service, but does anyone know if I would be entering as an OE-1 or OE-2? Also,...

10. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    RonaldLS replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had not realized that disabled veterans don't receive any preference for Nursing jobs... It makes a perverse sense, but I'll be damned if the VA doesn't try to keep that little fact away from the public eye. I can only find references to 38 USC 740...

11. I think Nursing is not for me :( :( :(

    RonaldLS replied to Ooji's topic in Student Assist

    Out of curiosity, did you know that there are research teams that require Nurses? You may want to look into this forum about the pros and cons of being a Nurse Researcher: https://allnurses.com/research-nursing/what-do-you-541229.html

12. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    RonaldLS replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I regret that I may sound naive, but the BSN program I'm currently scheduled to attend has indicated that they have a 95% (or somewhere in the 90% range) job placement rate within 3 months of graduation. I checked and the statistics they compiled was...

13. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    RonaldLS replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Didn't realize that there was not a shortage of Nurses (I'm going to Nursing School this summer)... But reading the posts, I'm glad that I'm going to Colorado (a state that seems to be one of the three best states for employment outlooks), and lookin...

    @klnurse, as far as anyone can tell it appears they send out approval confirmation all on the same day. They may have a system for the stand-by list, but the rhyme and reason to the madness isn't immediately apparent.

    Well I just got the "100% approved for the program letter" yesterday in the mail, so I think people should be hearing back very soon if they haven't already...
