College of the Rockies is launching the inaugural offering of its Practical Nursing Preparatory Pathway this January. This is the first program in the college’s new Pathways initiative, which is designed to create routes into career-focused postsecondary programs. The program provides English and mathematics upgrading alongside health-related learning to prepare students to pursue further education. Graduates of the program will receive conditional acceptance into the Practical Nursing Program. The pathway program was designed for adult learners and offers a structured approach to developing skills, confidence, and readiness for a nursing education and health-care career.
