ADN Programs in Colorado

Are you the type of person who enjoys helping others and would love to make a difference in their lives? If so, why not consider a career in registered nursing? Colorado is a great place to begin a nursing career, and as a registered nurse (RN), with an associate degree in nursing, or ADN, you can expect an average salary of nearly $77,860 per year! This figure has been provided by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

ADN programs in Colorado, like elsewhere in the U.S., combine traditional classroom instruction with clinical skills training to provide you with all of the knowledge and skills you need to work as a registered nurse. In most cases, approved ADN programs last two years. Depending on the institution you choose for your training, you may also need to pass a nursing program entrance exam before being admitted to the school's ADN program.

Before you can obtain employment as an ADN in Colorado, you must apply for a Colorado state nursing license. After applying for your RN license, you will need to pass the National Council of State Boards of Nursing licensing exam for RNs. Once you pass the exam, you’ll get your license and can begin looking for employment in Colorado.
