ADN Nursing Student Handbook 2026-2027

Exit Option

Students may exit the program after the first year of the 2 year nursing program. Students complete one additional course NUR 1069 Transition into Practical Nursing (4 credits) and then are eligible to take the NCLEX-PN (practical nursing state board exam) to become a LPN. This program is a certificate program and is approved by the Colorado State Board of Nursing. LPNs are the entry level position into the nursing profession and work under the direction of a register nurse (RN) or physician.

With encouragement from my concurrent enrollment connections, I have become heavily involved on campus and was elected to be the current Associative Student Government President along with other leadership roles.

The teachers and office workers WANT to help you to achieve your goals. That's also the reason why I actually like to go to classes, because it's important for me to combine fun and learning.
