Published

Hey all! Applications for Spring semester just opened March 1st for CU's accelerated program. I just wanted to start a thread and potentially meet some other prospective students! I'm currently working on my application and would love to find some people to discuss with throughout the process.

Hi all,

I am planning to apply for the January 2027 start. I want to gain healthcare experience before applying, but I will only have around 6-8 weeks to do so. How much previous healthcare experience did you all have?

Thank you!!

Hi olivia. I have 2+ years of healthcare experience, plus more of other relevant experience. I think they're looking for a certain amount of hours (500 min) and that you've been exposed to the nursing profession and patient care

I got an acceptance email!
