20 Best Rn Programs In Denver, CO (2022 Updated)

I wish I could give this school ZERO stars. Some teachers press play on a recorded lecture during our "class," and thats how we learn. Other teachers read verbatim off of the slides. There is only one competent teacher – Mary Castang, but she only teaches the begining nursing classes. The teachers were very unprofessional and often didnt know answers to students questions. They are very power hungry, and will get in arguments with students who find mistakes or have questions about the material/books. The books are written by regis professors – an obvious conflict of interest and are required for the class. The clinical instructors are VERY untrustworthy, and will cover their back in an instant, and put the students at risk. Even though they are supposed to protect students, and teach them during clinical. The dean for the nursing school terrible, and should really be looked into. She claims to care about the students well being and wants them to suceed. Of course this all happens virtually or in a big lecture hall in front of all the students. When met with individually she acted as if she was listening and responded with a gereic response she probably tells all students/ has a list and chooses one that matches what the student says –> all she had to say was "I dont care," and literally reapeated that after I tried to explain. All very degrading and emotionally traumatizing when nurses in school are already loaded with busy work from class, and clinical work assigned by the clinical instructor and from the class teacher. Lisa Zenoni comes off as the sweetest lady during orientation, and seems super supportive of students succeeding. After school starts shes very passive aggressive, and gets very defensive when she is confronted about being wrong. All in all, if admitted to the nursing program, be aware of every rules in the student guide, and dont follow the directions of the clinical instuctors as those rules dont match the regis rules and those are grounds for dismissal. Understand the teachers and how they teach and be ready to teach yourself. As for the students, the younger students who went throught the regis college are very rude to the transfer students and try to get them in trouble due to the fact that theu are usually smarter, do really well in all the classes, and are very motivated. Be very careful where trust is,placed as it is easilt used to get students in trouble.maria trick

Disappointment at every turn. I'm a student at Regis, was using my GI Bill here. I've seen a lot of my classmates (BS Computer Science) not able to find the classes offered needed to graduate on schedule. The course offerings are pretty sporadic, graduating on time is unlikely. I was pursuing a certificate in Information Systems Security along with a BS in Computer Science, but the Advanced Unix course that was required for the certificate is offered once a year and often doesn't even run. Now the certificate has been withdrawn. The advisors are helpless. The closer you get to graduation, the harder it is to find the classes you need. I have been advising my veteran friends to attend other schools. The professors here are top notch. They are the only reason I can give Regis two starts instead of one.Zach Zachareas

If you don't already have a job in the computer programming world, do not bother going to Regis through their online computer science degree program. The program has many errors in both the content, the instructions, and even in the grading of assignments. The cost of their program is incredibly expensive, unacceptably so with the errors they have in their own coursework. You also spend all of your time reading and teaching yourself since there are little to no videos available. This is fine if you have experience in the field already or are fine with reading a textbook, but if you are looking for someone to actually teach you this is not the location you want to go. Over priced, little to no help, errors in the course work so buyer beware!cory king

I had some guy named Ian text me. He started off by saying hi. All I wanted was information on the nursing program. Then he asked if I did the financial aide, then he said " we cannot go forward if they didn't have my financial aide information and if I had a high school diploma. All I wanted was information about the nursing program, why would I give him all that information? He kept pressuring me. So, finally I said to him, I will not ho forward until I get information about the nursing program. I have applications pending at other nursing schools. And accepted to one. That guy is a weirdo and tries to get people to send over their financial aide.Jovanna Thomas

I'm a busy mom, worked full time until recently and have been working towards my Bach. Psychology with a minor in Spiritual Leadership. I've enjoyed every moment of my degree. The counselors have been phenomenal and the student financial aid department is both nice and helpful every time I've had to contact them. This isn't a slacker school. The courses are demanding and the knowledge you obtain is real. I love the flexibility online classes offers as I have two young boys at home and a full time job to keep up with. My experience here has deepen my faith and my confidence. I'm excited to say I'm CCU alumni class of 2017.Christina Haskell

I absolutely loved going to school here. I have made so many life long friendships and even met my husband here! Not only that, but I am friends with the professors here and still keep in touch with them. They have a fantastic missions department where students can lead trips across the world to share the Gospel. The campus looks nothing like what it did when I first started going there but it’s exciting to go back and see all the changes and upgrades they have. Ccu has a fantastic location right between the city of Denver and the mountains. There is always something exciting to do! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!Katie Fiola Jones

They let me down big time, took forever to get my financial aid appointment, they slacked on helping me as a first time student and caused me to be bumped out of the esthetisian course for the second time and they put me on a waiting list again saying the course is now filled up. The advisors don't communicate well and didn't do enough to ensure that process would come together. So now after all of my hard work to get in school they won't own up to the fact that they failed and put it back on me. Excuse me but they get a pay check to ensure a first time student succeeds. No going the extra mile here nor connecting the dots. Your just SOL if you think they care.E Green

It is like pulling teeth to get ahold of ANYONE here. I've sent several emails and voicemails. When (and if) someone does finally respond, they leave a very undetailed email. I never get a phone call back. I live an hour away from the school so "dropping in" isn't really an option. I was willing to move closer to the school if I got into their LPN program, but stopping by to be able to talk to someone is just a bit out of the way… I don't want to drive all the way down there for a few simple questions…Aimee Whatley

I love this school I did not do good in school my girlfriend encouraged me to go back and get my G.E.D . Then told me we should do nurse assistant class at the college i love all the instructors they are super helpful and push me to keep going. Ms.B ,Amy ,Mr.Gillmore and Mrs. Walsh are the best also ms.washington also recommend to everyone.!jacob marrujo

Hi well hello currently I am in the Medical assistant evening class, and my instructor Mr Juan has been the best instructor I have had so far. He has been teaching all classes Morning, afternoon and Evening, and yet despite him being here all day and me being the last class from 5pm to 10pm he never looses his enthusiasm. He has a strong passion to teach and he really does show us real world situations. He prepares us for the best and for the worst case scenarios since he has been in the medical field for 10 years, he shows us to always have respect and empathy for everyone. He radiates positivity and love, with every thing he does. He dedicates everything to being the best teacher he can be and it really shows how much he cares. Any time i'm having trouble with any work I know I can ask and he will explain everything a million times until I fully understand the subject. Thank you Mr Juan my JUABULOSO teacher for everything you do. you are so much appreciated by the whole class.But much appreciated by me. I really hope and wish you the best Mr Juan when we are not there no more. keep up the good work and keep it shinning bright as bright like a diamond.☺️cecilia adame

I loveeeeeeeeee instructor Prowat! I have always struggled with anatomy and physiology but until she become my instructor I have been able to pass and learn my content. She makes learning so much fun and structures her class to where I feel like I am learning my best. If you want to join the LPN program she will make sure you succeed in her class. Also instructor Woolf is such a kind sweet soul who makes sure you are learning her context and does the above and beyond to stay with you after school to explain things to youGiselle Hermosill Padilla

I am currently enrolled at Pima, and the last couple months have been amazing. I’m in the Dental Assistant program and my instructor, Tanya Elespuru, has taught me more than I ever thought I would know. She’s an amazing instructor, and overall great person. For sure one of the best people that I have ever met, and I’m so glad to have her as an instructor at this campus. If you’re interested in becoming a DA, then this is the school for you! 10/10 school, and 100/10 instructor!Cynthia Razo Lopez

The South Denver School of Nursing Arts are the people you want in your corner. I took my CNA education course remotely from Hawaii during the pandemic and SDSNA went above and beyond in supporting me in remote instruction. They have an awesome lab to practice your skills in and you will build community with other students. Not only does SDSNA wholeheartedly believe in their students skills and academic ability, they will support you throughout your career and help you get where you want to be. I was struggling with getting my first CNA gig, and SDSNA advocated for me to ensure I got in touch with the right recruiters. They also coach you on how to interview and provide you with a ton of resources to help you land the job you want. I highly recommend SDSNA, especially if you are just getting started with healthcare. They are the best!Lia Kopesky

I am so thankful for everyone at this school. The online classes were easy to handle and very interactive. The structure was easy to follow and I felt supported every step of the way. My instructor worked around my 12 hour work shifts. I was able to do these classes, work, and be a full time mom. I loved the at home partner involvement! I was able to schedule plenty of practice time for my skills exam and felt super prepared!! I passed my boards and start my job as a CNA TOMORROW!!! Thank you SDSNA I can't even explain how happy I am!!Michelle Ketchum-bartlett

SDSNA is an amazing school to get your CNA license. Whitney, the owner, is so welcoming and supportive the whole time. The instructors are also very supportive and you truly feel like they are rooting you on every step of the way. My class felt like a family by the end of the four weeks and I was sad to leave them and part ways. Even though this is a four-week course, the amount of information and skills I learned to be a safe and successful CNA was well worth it! I highly recommend SDSNA to anyone wanting to get their CNA license!Maille Pierce

My name is Mike Chillo and I attended MSC in Denver Colorado in Aug of 2016. My experience at MSC was a very positive one culminating with me taking a position in the medical device sales industry. MSC challenges you as a student to expand your horizons, embrace new concepts, and grow your sales skills. You leave MSC with a solid base of understanding of company products, operating room procedures, and medical vocabulary. MSC uses every minute of your on campus time to better prepare you for a rewarding career in the industry. The relationships you build with your fellow classmates are the foundation for lifelong friendships. The whole experience was rewarding and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enter the medical device industry.Michael Chillo

I can undoubtedly say MSC is worthy of the investment to advance your medical device industry career. While I already worked in healthcare as an RN, MSC provided me the knowledge base to transition into this new role. They provide all the necessary resources to set you up for success in finding a job and provide excellent networking opportunities. I was offered a position in the industry rather quickly post-program completion and have enjoyed every moment since! I would recommend MSC to anyone who is thinking of getting into the industry.Victoria Coleman

MSC IS 100% WORTH IT!! I am so happy I took the Orthobiologics/Regenerative medicine course with MSC. Before the course I was trying to get into the medical device industry for about a year and after taking the course it only took me about 1-2 months. I’m 3 months in and loving every second of the job! The teachers are very helpful, they will make sure you understand every bit. Also, shout out to my advisor, Alexandra!! She’s the best and will help you throughout the entire process, from taking the course to finding a job! Thank you MSC!Nicole Pritchett

Recently took my CNA course at Ann Rose. What brought me to choose Ann Rose was many reasons one is the small class setting, I got a chance to meet my fellow classmates, and teachers. I love that they have various schedules to choose from either nights or days. The affordability and payment plan and overall it was only within three weeks of completion. I must say I had an amazing experience and smooth transition into learning the basics and the importance of a nurse aide. I was taught everything I needed to know for the written and skill tests. Gretchen, Teresa, Heather and Sandy are wonderful and they take extra time on top of class schedule for students to practice skills to make sure you are confident enough for the test. I’m glad I choose Ann Rose and I 100% recommend it to anyone looking to get there CNA.Sevastian Mejia

I was a part of the fast track class back in June and I originally​ chose this school because of this fast-track​ course. My experience was fantastic. There was a lot to learn but it was completely​ manageable​ and our instructor Joan was always there to answer questions. As the other reviewers​ mentioned, the facility is not full of brand new equipment​, however, that does not matter at all when the education and the instructors are so increadible and helpful. After Joan's class, I felt completly confident to take the state exam two weeks after clinicals and passed on the first try. If you are trying to pick a CNA program for your childs care, nursing school, PA school or anything else, I would 100% recommend choosing Ann Rose! ​Christina Ross

This is a great school. Donna was my instructor and she prepped my class so well I breezed through the State exam knowing the answer to every question! I began the exam as a nervous wreck but quickly my nerves calmed when I realized Donna’s knowledge combined with her expert teaching skills (of course studying too) was all I ever needed. The owners are one of a kind, unbelievably understanding and reasonable. They worked with me when my family schedule got a little shaky at the end. I gave max stars/5 because for me this school cared about my success and showed it. I’m so happy to have been directed to them, & thankful for the knowledge & prep work they give. Thank you Ann Rose School of Nursing! You are the BEST.P DWU

This is by far the worst most unprofessional educational institution I have ever had the misfortune of dealing with. I wanted to take a CCNA certification course so I went to speak to adviser to get more info and to get a quote for tuition so I could save and avoid financial aide. When I spoke to the adviser (Misty) she quoted me for a 3 credit class and told me to sign up in November. When I came back in Nov, she could not get me registered into the class. She called the director of the program (Eric Vahling ) for assistance but he never answered her. Note, in the month prior I sent Mr. Vahling multiple emails and left voicemails and he would never return them. I had to camp out of his office and catch him to get help, he told me there was not enough interest so the class was off, sucks I had to hunt the man for that info but whatever. i enroll in another school, 2 weeks before it starts, Eric calls me to say the class is back on and to sign up asap. The class didn't let me sign up, I had to get Misty to override me into a class that wasn't full. 2 days later, Eric emails the class and lets them know an adviser must enroll us, THANKS! So class starts and I got to pay tuition to find it is 4x what I was quoted. I call Eric to inquire, no answer, I call his boss, Victor Vialpando, no answer. i show up at Victor office and find him, he says the adviser quoted wrong and there was nothing I could do and to go file a grievance, THANKS. I got down to financial aide to confirm and they say I have until the 6th, then I check my syllabus and it says the 4th, now I have 3 different dates so i'm confused. So I ask Denise in financial aide who else I could talk to if the dean and director didn't help and she gives me the number for the dean of students and vice president. I called them and the vice presidents assistant David did try to help, he was my first good resource so far. A weekend passes and I decide if all this has happened before the class started, I better withdraw and avoid further mess. I try and it says I can because i'm too late despite my syllabus and course schedule saying different. I rush to the school and see Rebecca in advising, I gave her the documentation showing the withdraw date had not passed and she got me withdrawn, Rebecca was a big help in this process. I urge everyone to look elswhere when it comes to a school, lower admin is not concerned with students and their success. Eric Vahling should not be responsible for any students educational career in any form or fashion. Ms. Reyna Anaya, Rebecca in advising, John Young and David Murphy were the only people who even cared enough to listen to what i had to say. Google restricts review length or this would be so much more detailed but do your own research, previous reviews are very similar. There are plenty of other schools that have your best interest in mind, for the most part this school is not one of them. With all the foreign students at this school, Im sure many have been screwed over by the lack of attention displayed by faculty here. I will do everything I can to steer people away until they get their act together, not sure who to report this stuff to but ill figure it out. They still have my account under another students name after I informed them of the error months ago. Finally, if Eric Vahling is the director of whatever program you are interested in, GO SOMEWHERE ELSE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU AND WILL OT HELP YOU.Delux 2471

The school has two campuses, both in aurora. It's very nice looking and the staff is usually helpful on your first day there. The classes are a good size and its always a hit or miss if you get a teacher that actually knows how to teach, but that is at every school. I would advise you be prepared to be on the phone for 30+ mins if you have any questions and lots of miscommunication after your first day. This school has the potential to be great if it would take the steps to train their employees to know how to do their job. I was told several different things about the steps i needed to take next in order to receive my financial aid, i was lied to about the amount of time i had to find a work study job, and when i finally found a job i was told i was over qualified. Please tell me how a student is over qualified for work study…. Staff seems to play around and chat with each other more than paying attention to students who need help. You would think students being an employee of the school would make a difference. It appears to me that some students are honestly there to just have fun and not help other students out. I needed to talk to a student to get information about one of my extra curricular activities and not one of them knew what to do. It took two weeks for me to get the correct information i needed. And after expressing my frustration with one of the staff members in charge, they shot back at me as if it was my fault that their staff didn't have the knowledge to help me succeed even though that is there job. It makes me wonder if these things are the reason their drop out rate is so high. Not being able to get a human being on the phone to know how to accept loans for school is the very first problem. If you can't help students accept their payment forms for college how are they going to even be motivated to go? CCA needs to do a better job of caring about its students and who it chooses to higher to work there.Kendice W

The most unprofessional college I have ever attended. I worked in the Veterans office and didn't get paid for two months (2015), due to my boss not sending in paperwork. Veterans were also not getting their paperwork or payments. I returned for tax paperwork to give VA disability and they just have "no record" of me. However, I have documentation and proof of the year I worked there. I went through the Veterans Office to get the paperwork, waited 2 whole months with no return call and physically going into the office three separate occasions. Next, I talked to two different ladies in HR (I won't mention names), she was supposed to give me paperwork that just stated I worked there, not even the paperwork I needed, that was 4 weeks ago. This college really tried to cover up the incident, and years later it is still affecting me due to not being able to get the proper paperwork from them. The only good thing about here is the classes are cheap, but they also are at the rest of the 13 community colleges in network.Anna Smith

I’m am currently in my last year at MSU and I am going to be graduating with nothing but resentment and hatred towards this university. You are constantly belittled with the political opinions of the administration’s, sending you useless emails and phone calls on their political views. The fees within the university are confusing and almost impossible to understand/find information about. If you have classes on campus you pay for parking every day (currently around 5-7$ depending on where you park) which means you are gonna be paying around 500$ a semester just in parking. MSU has no regard for the safety of their students refusing to close campus even when other school districts/ universities in the area do for bad weather or threats (Sol Pais threat). The overall academics of the school are average with most of the class sizes, professor ratings and knowledge, and degrees being pretty good. Then there is Student Success Center that holds the admission and financial aid for the university. I have not had one single semester since entering this university were some problem has not arisen with financial aid (forms that they have lost, slow processing speed, inaccurate dispersement dates) so if you are paying for college with any type of loans be prepared for your loans to be delayed and mismanaged for about a month or sometimes two. The campus itself is quite pretty being in the heart of Denver however it does bring a lot of traffic from Denver as well so there is a police reporting an incident almost ever other week so I’d be cautious at taking night classes. Along with all this, in the middle of the COVID pandemic MSU has raised their tuition meaning that you will be paying more for no in person classes, never seeing/ using the campus or amenities (which by the way you pay for also in fees) , and some professors who barely know how to use a computer. In the end this is what I’d say about MSU Pro: Still cheaper then CSU and CU Pretty but somewhat dangerous campus Close to Denver Average academics Con: Terrible administration Terrible management Bad parking and parking cost Hidden/ confusing fees If I could start over I would have spent the more money for a well run university CSU, CU, UCCS, UNC or save a bunch of money and going to ACC Hope this helps everyone understand what you are walking into.Eric Robinson

60% of professors are good, the other 40% are nothing compared to my high school teachers (Cherry Creek HS). That’s sad. 75% of staff need to go to the 60% of professors that are incredible and get some common sense and etiquette. Literally act like little prepubescent teens. I had a staff member I have never even met In my life email me about some weird opinion she had of me. You’re a grown woman and you act like this? Were you raised in a barn? Staff act like this at a university and they wonder why student engagement is down? Studies have shown a direct correlation. Even in one of my classes I had a professor share with us a study about the same issue. Use your own databases to figure that one out. I wonder how many staff members it would take to figure this one out… RIP MSU Denver. The dream of creating an actual university is there, but you guys are far from it 7 years later. Still act like a low level state college. Way to represent Denver like this. I was born here and am embarrassed for you. (Response to University reply that disappeared below) No thanks. I have a laundry list of issues that need to be resolved. I go talk to this person that person than this person than that person. Take a guess how many issues were resolved? None. You guys do not put the student first. You guys allow staff members and teachers egos to rule above policies and practicality. All I am asking for is basic human decency and some professionalism I expect from a University.Allen A

If you are looking into moving to Colorado like most of the US right now, do NOT come to this university. There are much better colleges in this state that are a better bang for you buck. This college is growing too fast for its own good and the students are the ones who must take the blow. I am at senior level now and have been lied to by more than one advisor in regards to which classes I need to be taking in order to graduate. I have spoken with the chair of the accounting department to have my situation corrected and the best excuse that he can come up with is that he can't bend the rules for any student. Mind you that all I have done was listen to the accounting advising department to have them schedule my classes. YOU CANNOT TRUST ANY ADVISOR IN THIS INSTITUTION! So instead of being able to graduate in the spring, I will have to push out my graduation a year. It's like I'm being punished for listening to the advising department when its their job to help students stay on track to graduate. I usually don't write reviews but I had to speak out on behalf of how I was treated. If you plan on going here, you must ask at least three people before you make any decision. They can't even hold their staff accountable for their actions and the student must pay the price for their mistakes. Very sad situation but I'm not the only that this has happened to. Thanks for reading.Alexander Pyszniak

Amazing school ran by staff that will go out of their way for their students in order to be successful. The campus is small but it creates a family oriented environment between staff and students. On campus there are great labs available to practice skills. The school does an amazing job with clinical placements for students. The campus is diverse among students and there is no prejudice. There is no requirement on religion to attend the school, they are welcoming to all students. The school offers three great programs for nursing, sonography and radiography. All of the lectures are recorded and posted online that allow students to review lectures anytime, and the school offers free tutoring. If you are someone who likes smaller classes and like to form personal and professional connections with staff and peers then I highly recommend this school. They will do everything in their power to set you up for success.Andrea Manio

This is a great school ran by wonderful people. It offers multiple programs for the medical field. They are harder than other programs but from what I hear from graduates, they come out much more prepared. The staff here will quite literally bend over backwards to help you with anything. They really want you to succeed and are willing to do a lot just to help you do so. I have had some troubles financially but they are very willing to work things out so that you can stay in the program and not hve to come back at a later date due to that. I personally am not Adventist or religious at all and I have never encountered any sort of prejudice toward myself or others who are not. The university actually has quite a diverse campus and is super welcoming to everybody. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into nursing, sonography, or x-ray.McKade Clark

This school preaches about not giving up on students, and they gave up on me. They also play favorites with students. They dont discriminate you to your face, they are passive aggressive. Especially if you do not believe in the same stuff they do If you are the cookie cutter image of a Christian/Adventist then this school is for you. If you are not Christian or super religious then this school is not for you. THEATHER SALLEY

Went to school here for electrical engineering but got an internship with the civil engineering department. The internship ended up being a joke ran by a man who was very petty. When I tried to talk to the head of the civil engineering department he ended up being equally as petty. It soured my idea of what an engineer should be. Now I am 100k in debt and I despise engineering. They are also very good at losing paperwork at the bursar's office and financial aid office. The one good thing was working for the school in the machine shop. I learned a lot from the people in that area and they seemed to be the only people with any sense in the whole building. They also never had the supplies needed for the labs. A summary of a day in class at UCD was a quick class where you really didn't learn anything and you would go home and teach yourself. There really was no point in going to class. If one did graduate they may use 5% of what was taught in school in their career. With the abundant access to data in today's society, college is pretty much out of date and irrelevant at this point.Denny Dunn

I enjoy the institution, the professors are great but their parking garages are a disaster and it makes no sense to charge students over $500 per semester for a “full -time” gold parking pass like they’re about to get exclusive access to certain parking garages and find parking super easily. You’re not. It’s a battle to find parking especially in the Tivoli garage during certain times which is classified as a “gold passport” garage. Too many students are paying for parking on their own without passports and using the garages that are promised to people who buy passes. It’s not fair and also some classrooms seem to have a few maintanence issues. Other than that it’s a pretty cool campus but I also don’t understand how there are classrooms with over 30 people in a tiny little 400 square foot room if that lol get this fixed we pay way too much money as students to deal with things like this.mgmt (Sam)

It's difficult to describe how utterly terrible this institution is at communication and technology. It's as laughable as it is frustrating. The staff, namely admissions, were ineffective, uninformed, slow, unresponsive, and occasionally deliberately obstructive. The IT department is a disaster and even included a complimentary data breach! The professors I had (admittedly only two) were nice enough, but the logistics were particularly clunky. Save yourself money and headache and go to Metro. It's cheaper, the admissions and onboarding were much simpler, the departments were helpful and responsive, and with two exceptions, the professors were very good.Caleb Efta

Went here for a little bit of time, and unfortunately it wasn’t a great experience from what I thought it would be. It’s a very generic way of learning and teaching. They also put multiple content from lectures to learn within a week, do a test for one lecture but take quizzes for the other lectures the same day of the test and another quiz a day after on another lecture. You don’t have time to learn but instead just memorize and continue. The testing is the worst part. Everyone takes the same test, whether you are good at testing or not and tests and classes are two separate grades. It doesn’t matter if you do well in the classes if you don’t do well on the tests. If you do not do well on the tests you’re either held back and have to come back the next year or you’re kicked out of the program. Their organization is terrible to the point where we didn’t know our classes until 2-3 days prior to the semester starting. I highly do not recommend this school.Garrus Vakarian

I've never felt so educationally supported. The campus is outstanding, plenty of corners to get away and study. I am lucky to have been a part of this college and look forward to continuing to their PhD program.Matthew Fowler

The school did not give students from the class of 2021 the classes and graduation ceremony they deserved. Cut corners just to add $$ to their pockets.Stephanie Sandoval

update to below. They finally got the surgery scheduled and completed it successfully. It was just frustrating that they over focus on covid. They still don't allow overnight stay for patients. They need to realize patients need support. and Patients need to be treated in a timely matter. The hospital management is terrible. They keep putting off my sons neck tumor surgery. My son is at risk of his tumor to metastasize and this would be the fault of Anschutz because they are not allowing surgeries because of the possible covid cases? Covid has a death risk of less then 1 percent? my son life is not as important as a "possible" covid patient? Completely ridiculous. I am getting a lawyer. This is complete discrimination.Jennifer Mongan

If i could give them negative stars I would! They weren’t busy at all yet even though their messaging system told me my car would only take approximately 5 mins, 18 mins later said my car was ready and waiting for me (which it wasn’t) ! it took them a total of 30 mins for them to bring me my car while Everyone who came out after me got theirs. I will never use their valet parking again! I could have parked 3 blocks away from the hospital and walked to my car faster than what it took for them to bring me my car during a slow time of the day! Save yourself the frustration and park your car yourself. Trust me you’ll be better off.Nadine Keaney

Absolutely disgusted with the level of incompetence and negligence of their staff. They fail to correctly document information as well as completely misinformed me on critical information that could cost my son his life. We have contacted a lawyer that believes have a great case and I just want to strongly prevent anyone with kidney failure or life threatening disease from trusting this hospital as we have had the worst experience of any medical facility ever and feel they should be shut downBrandon buchanan

Pima gave me an excellent experience by the support for the instructors and their resources provided to me. The CNA instructors were especially very wonderful, especially Mrs. Virginia Middleton, and are dedicated to ensure the success of their students. I would highly recommend the Nursing Aid program to anyone interested in pursuing a career in health care and would like direct contact with patients.J Ramirez

For anyone looking to start a career and is interested in the medical field I believe Pima will get you there. I started their RT program in March just finished my first semester and I couldn’t be happier my expectations were exceed. Professors and Staff have all been amazing. This is a great school to come to and I’m just happy to finally have something to look forward to once this is all done.Samantha Bejarano

I love going to school here! My teacher Mr. H was an amazing teacher and really cares about his students and that they are learning!!! I have tried college many times, and my experience with Mr. H was the best by far! love PIMA so much that I'll be back to continue my education! I've also convinced a cousin to try PIMA!!! I'll highly recommend the sterile processing program!!!!!!Kate Criswell

I would give this school a 5 over 5 any time of day. The teachers there are really awesome. Justin does a really great job with the students' theory and Dee also breaks down the steps in the CNA skills to a point where it's like the easiest thing in the world. I personally went there at a time I thought I wouldn't pass the CNA exams because I am not good in following steps. After the training I was so confident and it only took a single try for me to be a certified. I wish I knew this school earlier, I wouldn't have procrastinated for long. They are really worth every penny anyone would pay, plus they are cheaper than most schools out there. Not throwing a shade at anyone, most of the students I took the state board with were not equipped as much as my classmates and I. I owe this to Justin and Dee. Thank you to the both of you and may you keep doing the great job you are doing. Nice instructors and nice human beings!obed obed

This is the best school in Colorado. I was born and raised in Colorado and have never felt like I matter in the school system. When I went here Desiree and Justin made me feel like it was more then just a school, it was home away from home. This made me want to come early every day and learn more and more about how to be a great CNA. Desiree and Justin never once made me feel like I don't matter and they helped me alot with understanding the material so I could pass my written and skills test. Go to this school if you like small classes and not getting looked at as "just another student".Monique Laidlaw

I was glad that I choose this school for my CNA Justin and Desire are the best. They will explain everything about the exam. They will take their time and get you ready for the state exam. Even if you graduate from the school you can still do your practice and they will still assiste you. Desire has this gift to teach and everything is easy with her. Justin will give you a lot of writing test type exam to prepare you for the state exam. Thank you to you both.Sabine T

I love this school and I am NOT the biggest fan of school to begin with. It's cheap! They make sure you actually get what you pay for. You get all the help you need and they offer FREE tutors who really are there to help you understand. They make it nearly impossible to fail. Everyone is kind students and all. Yes there are a few faults, like the incredibly slow Internet and some instructors, but over all I don't regret my choice of attending ccd.Sabrina Sheehan

My two boys are learning here. They get more great experiences with new environment, teachers and classmate here. Also, this school is cheap enough for everyone to begin again their study.Bich Ngo

I did this RNFA program several years ago. The Suture Stars, with Dean Parsons in Chicago. It was great! However- there needs to be more tool kits and follow up time. I find myself going to YouTube to watch different suturing and feel that’s inadequate. A toolkit with online libraries would be very helpful and promote more people wanting to receive this certificate. Otherwise, it was a good 3-day program- great for someone who already works in the OR as a scrub nurse or frequently scrubs in as extra hands for a procedure. I may also add, it would be helpful to possibly be more specific to the needs of the students- I’m my course, we did hysterectomy and vascular grafting- two things I rarely do. I do a lot of neuro spine and orthopedic surgery and so learning to place retractors around nerves and vessels as well as anatomy and suturing of the anterior and posterior neck would have been most helpful to me. I did learn on the job, but advanced knowledge, other than books and YouTube would have been much better. Spending time doing abdominal hysterectomy was not something I needed to spend one of my valuable class days learning. ThanksSally Hohnstein

Very challenging but an excellent program. Prior to taking this RNFA course I had been working as a surgical nurse for over 30 years. I obtained my nurse practitioner and wanted to continue in a surgical role. This program enhanced my knowledge and fine tuned my skills to complete my goal. Today, I am fulfilling my desire in an acute care setting by assisting and take care of post-operative patients by rounding. Best of both worlds; Thank you NIFALori Fisher

I’ve had 3 people who went through this program and the company is a joke; try to get them to give their credentials to hospitals is a joke and unprofessional on their part; they want more money for every hospital that you try to get privileges at and never respond in time, have excuses for everything.steven barron
