Southwest Colorado Community College will move its entire nursing program to its Mancos campus by next school year.
SCCC Faculty Coordinator for Nursing Maggie LaRose tells KSJD the college’s Durango campus will host one more year of lecture classes before all 61 Nursing students move to the location between Mancos and Cortez.
She says the move will allow more space for a new simulation lab that will use mannequins for hands-on training, adding that the college hopes to provide housing assistance to students whose commutes will be lengthened by the move.
