OUR IMPACT ON HEALTH CARE LAST
QUARTER
On August 17th, Nursing students, nurses, and a variety of nurse pathway, health, and education professionals gathered on the CHES Campus of Pikes Peak State College in Colorado Springs to find out what's new on the CCBN horizon - and they found out it was worth the trip! At the CCBN Annual Kick-Off, attendees got to meet and greet, network (of course), learn where they fit in CCBN initiatives, and enjoy a special tour of Pikes Peak State College's Center for Healthcare Education & Simulation (CHES). It was Amazing!
