The Nursing program is available on both Trinidad and Alamosa campuses. The Trinidad campus has a traditional schedule and an evening/weekend schedule to choose from. Both campuses offer the Practical Nurse exit option. This options allows the student to take a short summer courses after the first year, then sit for their Practical Nursing boards. In addition, we do have a LPN to ADN option for those LPNs that would like to come back to school for their Associate Degree and eligibility to sit for the NCLEX-RN (RN) boards.
