NURSING DEPARTMENT

As the Southeastern Colorado Center for Nursing, the Department of Nursing's mission is to prepare today's nursing student to be tomorrow's competent and caring professional nurse.

We want to be your bridge to the future in the dynamic ever-changing profession of nursing, whether you are a new student just entering the field or a practicing RN. We are committed to your ability to succeed in our program as well as your need for a challenging and strong educational environment.

Small class sizes will ensure personal attention and strong sharing with peers. A variety of teaching strategies are implemented and progress is closely monitored with one on one advising.

Faculty in the Department of Nursing believe that a holistic synthesis of person, health and environment is the focus for professional nursing. Education at the university level is the ideal foundation for development of the professional nurse.

A nursing degree from the CSU-Pueblo will make you proud!
