INVEST IN THE FUTURE OF NURSING

We invite you and/or your organization, to partner with us to help build the Nursing Student Success Fund aimed at building our state’s nursing workforce.  There are multiple ways to donate and every donation makes a difference. 100% of all donations go directly into the Nursing Student Success Fund.

While we were disappointed the conference had to be cancelled because of the storm, we so happy to be rescheduling this event for March 7th. The conference will be held at the same location in Parker and we are excited to provide you with the same impactful agenda.
We are exploring if we will be able to accommodate new registrations. Stand by for more updates.

Our Commitment

The Center's journey to create a more diverse and inclusive nursing workforce began when we convened a group of key stakeholders to begin the conversation. Our commitment today, and always, is to address health disparities in our diverse and underserved communities by actively working to build a more diverse healthcare workforce.

Our commitment goes beyond the Colorado healthcare workforce and is a part of our core principles.  We know we must walk the talk.

The Center’s focus is building and enabling a healthy nursing workforce. Our programs offer pathways to practice through training, professional development and access to resources and support.  Check back often as we have multiple new opportunities throughout the year.
