Thank you for considering the Nursing Education Xchange (NEXus) for your continued educational development. NEXus is a distance accessible academic collaborative of select Western Institute of Nursing doctoral institutions to facilitate enrollment in doctoral courses not available on your home campus. These institutions have identified courses that are open for enrollment to PhD and DNP students of partnering institutions. PhD and DNP students may enroll in just one course or they may select from a specified group of courses (a cluster) including: Nursing Education or Diverse and Vulnerable Populations. The CU College of Nursing is a full academic collaborator in NEXus. Please see the NEXus web site at http://winnexus.org for details.

Students interested in taking advantage of this program, should review the NEXus Student Enrollment Procedures and proceed with completing a NEXus Student Enrollment Plan Form. Once the form is complete and submitted as instructed, you will proceed with registering. The form and procedures are available at http://winnexus.org.

If you are a College of Nursing student planning to enroll at a NEXus participating university, you must contact that university directly (see University Contacts on the NEXus web site). If you are a student from a NEXus participating university wishing to enroll in a course at the University of Colorado, simply fill out a NEXus Enrollment Request form and return it as indicated on the form.
