What are some good nursing schools in Colrado?

Denver school of nursing! I have heard great things about it. I just applied for the BSN October start.

I worked with a Professor from CU and she said it really does not matter where you go, as long as their program is accredited. DSN is vastly becoming one of the top schools here in Denver ranking next to Regis and UNC. I haven't heard very good things about CU's program due to their new infrastructure. So it's really up to you. If you have a good GPA, keep your options open and perhaps apply to all of them so you can decide which school best fits your need. i.e. flexibility, time, finances etc.

I'm starting DSN in July, and I've been so happy to hear such good things! Regis and UNC are good too, but a lot of people apply, its intense. Just make sure you don't go to PIMA or Concorde I've heard bad about CU Denver too, so sad. Seems to have a lot of mad students going there. Also, as far as community colleges go, Front Range Community College is AWESOME, I've done all my prereqs there, I've never once had a bad teacher! So I'm sure they have the same standards for their nursing teachers. Hope this helps!

Depend on where you are. In Denver I've heard good things about DSN. I had a friend go there and she loved it. I'm applying to UNC in Greeley but I live in Fort Collins. It's probably the best BSN program in Northern Colorado.

Double check with DSN's clinical coordinator as to what sites they are securing for their clinical rotations. I heard recently they are mostly securing rotations at nursing homes which is a huge negative in my opinion. Do your research.
