    oh ok, thats great. i agree that your patients should get the best

    from what I hear, the school I attended, University of Northern Colorado has a really great nursing program too. It also costs significantly less than DU.

    DU is around 35k a semester for IN-STATE

    UNC is 7k a semester for in-state.

    however, i understand, because DU is a really prestigious school.

I refuse to attend a school where I feel I'll gain a less than satisfactory education...I owe it to my patients to be the best caregiver I can possibly be.

    Yeah, that's why I was looking at Western Undergraduate Exchange discounted tuition rates. Even though I'm so far in debt due to both my ex and Whitworth that even 10K seems like a drop in the bucket anymore (thus, the VX)...still, every little bit helps. I'm already paying $16,000 a semester at Whitworth, and I don't even live on campus...cost doesn't bother me too awfully much, I just want to get a good education and attend a school with a good community and staff that actually care about the success of their students. You could probably give me the low down on UNC life

    WhitU is a fairly prestigious school in my area as well...but overshadowed by Gonzaga, unfortunately. Silly basketball teams...

    I know that University of Northern Colorado is a participant in the WUE program, and their nursing program is no exception (with DU, they do participate in student exchange, but you have to do the graduate school program...and Nurse Practitioner or PA is too much for me just yet). Perhaps I'll do some digging and check UNC out before I write them off.

    ...sorry for the thread jack, by the way.
