What are the graduation rates for students at Denver College of Nursing?

A single college-wide graduation percentage would not adequately describe completion at Denver College of Nursing. Its students enter through different nursing pathways, including as transfers, and a rate based only on first-time, full-time undergraduates would leave out many of them.

Applicants should compare completion outcomes for the exact program they are considering. Useful measures include the share of a cohort that completes on schedule, the time allowed in that calculation and, for prelicensure programs, first-time NCLEX pass rates. These figures answer different questions: graduation measures program completion, while the NCLEX measures performance on the examination required for RN licensure.

What is the earning potential for graduates at Denver College of Nursing?

College Scorecard field-of-study data report $61,078 in earnings one year after graduation for Denver College of Nursing's registered-nursing-related field. This is an observed outcome for a measured group, not a starting-salary offer or a prediction for an individual student.

Field-of-study earnings can combine graduates with different work histories, locations and nursing credentials. They also do not show take-home pay after taxes, the cost of earning the degree or the effect of student debt. Applicants comparing programs should use the same earnings measure and time horizon across schools and consider whether the reported group resembles their intended pathway.
