Loretto Heights School of Nursing
Welcome to the Loretto Heights School of Nursing (LHSON) at Regis University in Denver, Colorado. We are happy to share with you a little information about our nursing program. Our nursing program began at Loretto Heights College in 1948 and moved to Regis University in 1988. We have been continuously accredited since 1952 by the National League of Nursing (NLN) and, more recently, by the Commission of Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
The mission of LHSON is to provide high quality, values-centered, professional nursing education and to strengthen commitment to social justice and community service. In the Jesuit tradition, we challenge students to search for better solutions, greater truth and a more just existence for the health and well-being of society. Our staff, faculty and administrators are committed to providing a quality nursing education in a supportive learning environment. Our graduates are recognized for their knowledge, competence, compassion, ethics and leadership abilities.
LHSON offers two degree programs: the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and the Master of Science (MS) in Nursing. To meet the needs of the variety of students seeking to become Registered Nurses or advance their practice, these programs are offered in a variety of scheduling options.
We are proud to welcome CCNE site visitors in March 2009 and, as the next step in continuing to improve quality education and accreditation, have our process reviewed and strengthened. We welcome your participation in this process.
Nursing is an exciting, challenging, and dynamic profession with limitless opportunities. Nurses are, and will continue to be, in high demand and are essential to the delivery of health care. Mother Teresa, a Nobel peace prize winner, state, "We cannot do great things, only small things with great love." We hope that you learn great things at the LHSON that will help you to do the small things that matter in a person's life.
