We've organized a comprehensive list of Colorado nursing schools. Below you'll find information on specific nursing programs such as LPN certificates and ADN, BSN, and MSN degrees. You'll also find a profile of nursing education and careers in each major Colorado city.
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) are trained and equipped to perform a large range of medical procedures. Operating under the supervision of a registered nurse or a physician, they can administer most medicines, perform measurements, and keep medical records. In long-term care facilities, LPNs may also supervise nursing assistants and orderlies.
Nurses play a crucial role in the healthcare system. They care directly for patients while providing essential assistance to doctors and other medical professionals. The job scope of nurses is wide-ranging; prospective nurses can in fact choose one of three different education pathways. Nurses of all stripes can expect to find ready employment with Denver’s major healthcare providers like Centura Health and Lifecare Hospital.
