Paramedic to Bachelor in Nursing (Paramedic-
BSN) Track
The Paramedic to BSN track allows the paramedic
who has graduated from an accredited program to
complete their BSN. The applicant must have completed
the necessary prerequisite courses prior to
starting the program.
Previous coursework necessary for admission to the
Paramedic to BSN includes the natural, social, and
behavioral sciences. Most students in their previous
degree may have completed most of the prerequisites
required. The students participate in a reality-based
curriculum that includes classroom, internet, and real
life clinical experiences in state-of-the-art facilities.
The belief is that a student moves from simple to more
complex in their use of theories/experiences either in
their education and/or work environments. This belief
and use of multi theoretical frameworks is congruent
with the Nursing Department’s philosophy.
The student is expected to meet with a nursing advisor
for advisement and plan development. The student
must follow all admission requirements set forth in the
Basic Nursing Track. A minimum of 30 credit hours
must be taken at CSU-Pueblo or more based on the
students plan. Due to the intensity of the curriculum, it
is advised that the student not work and be able to
attend to their studies full-time.
