About the Program: The nursing profession is not only foundational to medical facilities, but also helps shape the health of communities. As a Registered Nurse (RN) or Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) you will work closely with physicians and other healthcare professionals to advocate and provide direct care to individuals in need. Nurses are tasked with a number of responsibilities that include: documenting or recording important patient information, communicating effectively with supervisors and medical staff, evaluating information to determine compliance with health regulations, interpreting the meaning of diagnoses to patients, resolving conflicts and handling complaints, administering medications, modifying patient treatment plans and more. The nursing profession is a challenging job that requires hard work and dedication, but it is also one of the most satisfying jobs that you will find. As a nurse you can truly make a difference in people's lives.

At Otero you will develop the skills necessary for employment in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. The curriculum follows the criteria for the Colorado Nursing Articulation Model and is specifically constructed to promote career mobility between nursing educational levels.
