The School of Nursing, approved by the Colorado State Board of Nursing, strives for excellence as reflected in highly qualified faculty, rigorous academic standards for students and a commitment to quality professional practice outcomes within all healthcare settings.

Bears Go Big

UNC Bears go out into the world to do BIG and significant work. Meet Meghan Sirochman, BS Nursing, 2006 and a Nurse Manager in Seattle.

The best thing about being a nurse is the people I get to meet along the way.

See other Bears going big.
