BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN NURSING The Colorado State University-Pueblo Department of nursing offers a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing. The program offers several tracks for the basic nursing student (Basic BSN), the registered nurse (RN-BSN), licensed practical nurse (LPN/HP-BSN), second degree students (BA/BS-BSN) and other health care professions (LPN/HP-BSN) to obtain their Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing degree (BSN). The Basic BSN is a track developed for the student who has completed prerequisite courses and has no degree, certificate or license.

The student with another baccalaureate or masters degree may apply to the BA/BS-BSN track or the Basic BSN. Licensed practical nurses that have a nursing license or completed an accredited program may apply for the LPN/HP-BSN or Basic BSN track. Other health care professionals, such as the respiratory technologist, psychiatric technician, paramedics, may elect to apply for the LPN/HP-BSN or Basic BSN track. The BSN program also offers an elective concentrated clinical practicum in nursing. The elective practicum allows the student to explore their passion in clinical practice.
