I am done with my pre-recs and am entering nursing school in the fall in a very competitive program. I am taking a English comp class this summer with a gentlemen who is well in his 60s who is going to college for English. By the way, I am 62 and s...

I got into Front Range Community College/Westminster in their RNA program and will start in Fall 2018. They use a rubric score criteria. At this time the cut off is 12 out of the 15 points. I had a 13. I had a 92 on my HESI, I have a 4.0 average ...

I worked with a gal who got accepted and will start there in January. She is a terrific CNA and I think she will be a great nurse. She is a hard worker and will succeed where ever she goes. Me I am waiting to get into Front Range because I don't w...

Last days are hard... I would go in... Just think of the money you won't get if you call in... leave with your head high... don't look back... had the same thing happen to me about a month ago and I had a resident pass away on my shift that was reall...

In Colorado you can get a verify license using your name and address... you can pull up your numbers and everything... Best wishes

Krista. I applied at the Westminster campus and didn't get in--- don't have enough points... how many points did you have... my problem is I haven't taken many classes at FRCC westminster

Glad you do know it all....

One of the most important things I have learned from a life of working with a variety of ages is when to pick you battles. If I would have told my classmates, who were much younger than I was, to get back on topic I would have had no one who would b...

The answer is probably EVERYONE!... you are right about the amount of study but I don't know if it is memory lapses... I don't mean to make judgements but sometimes "old gals" like us who are paying for their coursework take their studies more seriou...

I actually think being over 60 will not be too old to start a career in nursing. Many patients possibly will be over the age of 60 and they may be able to relate to you and you might be able to be a very effective advocate for them. I would take ea...

Ok-- I am a former teacher and also interested in nursing so I feel I can address this issue. Sometimes it is not the best idea to speak up, etc. if you have an instructor who may not pass you in the class. If the class is this disorganized and poo...

I am also a former teacher making a career change in Colorado and want to be a nurse. I am also over 50. I realized to get my "feet wet" I needed to be at least a CNA. My course cost $1200 dollars and lasted about 15 days including the clinicals. ...

From what I understand if they are interviewing you you are pretty much in... they will send you to financial aide after the interview...

that price for rent (650 to share with others) in that area of town is very very very good.... you should get it filled up fast when others find out the price of rent... I live in the Denver area so if you out of staters have any questions please go ...

I agree with you about they don't put the effort into classes. Some of those who give bad reviews are angry because a teacher wanted them to redo an assignment to get a better grade. How can you be mad about that? I guess they think they should ge...

I know you are probably already at DSN but where the school is has some of the most expensive apartments in Denver.,.... you might want to try to eastern and western suburbs

I know you are probably already at DSN but you will need to get a private loan as well as the federal loan... DSA has their own private loan carrier... it is expensive but not out of bounds in regard to costs of nursing schools in Colorado... hand in...

Well I am having some scheduling issues and I am also interested possibly pursuing a radiology technology degree... so therefore I am putting off nursing school and at this time I am going to be continuing with the community college for this degree/c...

Congrads on your acceptance. I have noticed that some of the Denver School of Nursing students share homes with other students. If you go on the Denver School of Nursing Facebook page that might help. I am very excited for you... I was also accept...

oh yeah one other thing that made me say DSN is ok. 78% is the passing mark to pass a class. If you don't pass one class, you have the option of doing some type of retake option while staying in your cohort. If you fail another class, you are out...

I had my interview last Thursday the 8th. I had mixed feelings about DSN. The facts are there aren't very many nursing schools in Colorado and even fewer of them take students who already have a BA in another area. Actually the three left are Univ...

Move to Arvada... it is a nice neighborhood near a light rail and I live over there... possibly can work out some commuting options with you.... by the way Denver is really expensive for housing right now... we also have a shortage...just want you to...

I don't know if this helps or not but when I was in graduate school for a degree that had nothing to do with health care I got an really awful yucky teacher who I felt didn't like me... I survived the class. She seemed to like everyone in the class ...

I know the class sizes are really large at CU nursing... I met someone who taught there and she taught a class that had over 70 students in an overcrowded room... everyone was freaking if they didn't get an A

Statistics is a pre requisite for me because I already have a BA... I got a B in statistics from CCConline. Most people didn't pass the class and dropped out... I am a statistics survivor
