At Denver College of Nursing, we love what we do. You will too.
Denver College of Nursing is now open in Houston!
Nursing Program in Houston, Texas
Did you know that nearly one-fifth of registered nurses plan to leave the workforce by 2027?* Keeping our healthcare system strong depends on dedicated future nurses who can fill that gap. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program at the Denver College of Nursing (DCN) campus in Houston, Texas, allows you to make the most of your current degree progress and learn essential skills to launch an impactful career in nursing.
The BSN program doesn’t just teach the nursing skills you’ll need to deliver quality bedside care, it also teaches key leadership competencies, including professionalism, critical thinking, and decision-making. BSN graduates are mentally resilient, technically skilled, and holistically trained, and they’re also prepared to take and pass the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
The DCN Houston campus is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission and approved by the Texas Board of Nursing and the U.S. Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid for the BSN program.

I chose to attend Denver College of Nursing because of their global health perspectives program which allowed me to travel all the way to Haiti for my community health clinical and get credit for providing global health.
So many of my instructors would spend extra time if we had questions after the class or maybe you didn’t get something, they were able to go over it a different way for you until it kind of clicked with you.
My education at DCN has impacted my life in a major way. It impacted me career-wise because it’s turned me into the professional that I thought I already was.
