Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence

A nonprofit organization


The Colorado Center for Nursing Excellence is the largest nursing workforce center in the country focused on building, advocating and upskilling our healthcare workforce. We are excited to be celebrating 20 years of supporting the nursing and healthcare workforce in Colorado and beyond.  

In celebration of 20 years of service, we are excited to announce our new Nursing Student Success Fund. As Colorado’s only nursing focused healthcare workforce center our focus now, along with the rest of the country, is to help increase the number of nurses serving our communities. As a non-profit we need many resources to support our efforts.  

This is where you come in. We invite you, and/or your organization, to partner with us to help build the fund aimed at building our state’s nursing workforce.  We have opportunities to support our anniversary event AND donor levels that will be fundamental to building our Nursing Student Success Fund.
