An online nursing school with on-site clinical training at a long-term care facility and other local health care facilities is opening in southwest Colorado Springs with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Tuesday.
This will be the first location in Colorado for Nightingale College, a private, for-profit school headquartered in Salt Lake City.
The event will begin at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in front of Cheyenne Mountain Center, 835 Tenderfoot Hill Road.
The school’s “innovative Dedicated Distance Cohort delivery model focuses on developing the ‘homegrown’ nursing workforce,” which is “available on-demand, well versed in meeting the health needs of the local community and properly aligned with the health care employers’ expectations,” Nightingale College’s President and CEO Mikhail Shneyder said in an email.
