Registered nurses (RNs) are integral to the success of healthcare teams’ efforts to promote health and well-being in individuals, families, communities, and populations. Registered nurses provide care to all age groups in healthcare settings from primary care offices to critical care units. Professional nursing practice requires nurses to work quickly to identify problems, analyze data, communicate clearly, and take action to promote health, manage illness, and improve patient outcomes. The BSN program is designed to foster students’ development of knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment essential to professional nursing practice.
Early Hands-on Learning
CMC emphasizes early experiential learning through clinical learning experiences in a variety of healthcare settings including
- Primary care and other ambulatory clinics
- Acute care hospitals
- Long-term, skilled, or rehabilitation centers
- Community-based clinics
- High-fidelity simulated clinical settings
Preparation for Practice
Designed for students passionate about improving health, the Bachelor of Science in Nursing offers an affordable 4-year degree that prepares students for professional nursing practice with a curriculum grounded in pathophysiology, evidence-based nursing practice, and development of clinical reasoning. Graduates are eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN®).
Students benefit from strong partnerships with healthcare systems in Colorado’s rural and mountain regions, gaining experience and mentorship from CMC alumni and experts in rural healthcare.
