On Saturday, June 18, 2011, Platt College celebrated its 24th annual commencement, recognizing the accomplishments of graduates from the School of Design and the School of Nursing. Ptarmigan Emery, a professional nurse and Platt College alumni delivered the commencement speech in which she recognized Platt College’s 25 years of excellence in the community.
The annual President’s Medal was awarded to one Platt College faculty member, Mr. Steve Keiser, RN, MSN, and two graduates: Kirstin Holmes from the School of Design and Christine Soloman, RN, BSN, from the School of Nursing in recognition of
upholding the mission and core values
of the college. Recent highlights of the college include the accreditation of the prelicensure Bachelor of Science in Nursing program by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). “This accreditation represents a major milestone for the School of Nursing at Platt College,” said Dr. Glenn Raup, dean of the School of Nursing.
The School of Nursing at Platt College delivers a high-quality, student-focused program in professional nursing (RN) practice with an emphasis on superior instruction and patient-centered care. In addition to offering a Bachelor of Science in nursing (BSN) in 35 months, the School of Nursing at Platt College is set apart from other programs by exceptional clinical experiences, evidence-based education and active engagement with health-care resources. The program is approved by the Colorado Board of Nursing and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). No prerequisite nursing courses are needed to start the BSN program. Students complete foundational liberal arts and sciences simultaneously with comprehensive nursing courses and clinical experience. Platt College offers clinical experiences with major health-care systems in the Denver area. The collaboration between clinical affiliates and the School of Nursing has resulted in practicum experiences that enable students to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes as a student nurse that will ultimately translate into competent nursing practice. The School of Nursing at Platt College offers small class sizes, clinical experiences starting in the second quarter, nursing simulation experiences and educational opportunities that include regulatory standards such as Joint Commission. Students complete 240 hours of laboratory preparation and 930 hours of clinical practicum. Upon graduation, graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).
