Rose Nieves

This is an exciting time for nursing education! I am thrilled that Colorado Technical University offers many innovative ways for faculty and students to collaborate as a team while delivering quality, real-world nursing education.

Health care in the 21st century is changing rapidly and nurses are on the front lines of that transformation. Education is crucial in ensuring that nurses have the skills and information they need to lead change and to be effective advocates for patient care. One leading organization, the Institute of Medicine (IOM), is advocating for nurses to practice to the full extent of their education and training, achieve higher levels of education and training along with an improved education system that promotes seamless academic progression, be full partners with physicians and other health professionals in redesigning health care in the U.S and to have improved data collection and information infrastructure to have more effective workforce planning and policy making. 1

At CTU, we have created a nursing portfolio in response to the IOM recommendation, our advisory board and nursing industry employers and experts. CTU’s RN to BSN, MSN and DNP programs hold the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accreditation, which affirms that CTU’s nursing curriculum, teaching practices, and program outcomes meet the CCNE’s rigorous standards for quality, effective nursing education. CTU faculty, staff, and I are here to help guide you as you advance your expertise and realize your professional goals. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
