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

    RonaldLS posted a topic in Colorado Nursing

    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...

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

    RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in Colorado Nursing

    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...

    RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in Government, Military

    RonaldLS replied to Tre'Vone's topic in Colorado Nursing

    RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in School, College Programs

  11. SHORTAGE OF NURSES

    RonaldLS replied to shermainenevels's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in School, College Programs

    @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...

  18. Denver School of Nursing (DSN) July 2015 Start

    RonaldLS replied to RonaldLS's topic in School, College Programs
