The Colorado Nurses Association held the eighteenth annual dinner at Scottish Rite Masonic Temple in Denver on January 30th. There were over 20 DCN students, from quarter one up to quarter seven, in attendance.  This was the largest number of students in attendance from state approved ADN or BSN programs. The focus of the night was the Enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact and the anticipated positive impact it will have on the Denver healthcare community.  Throughout the dinner current Colorado Legislators introduced upcoming bills relevant to the healthcare community.  DCN students were able to learn about upcoming opportunities, as wells as network within a large framework of seasoned healthcare veterans in attendance.
