Babette earned a BSN from the University of Southwestern Louisiana, then spent a number of years working in various RN settings while also raising her three children. When the youngest left for college, she returned to the University of Texas Medical Branch to earn her MSN with a specialty as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, then a post-Master's Certificate and her Family Nurse Practitioner credentials from the University of Texas Health Science Center.
As a dual certified PNP and FNP, Babette has worked in a variety of settings, including school-based health, community health, and most recently, providing care to diplomats in US Embassies across the world as a Foreign Service Specialist. She is passionate about mentoring new NPs and serves as both an FNP preceptor and site visitor.
Bachelor's in Nursing: Traditional Pathway
The Traditional Pathway is a full-time, 24-month Bachelor of Science option, designed for students who may or may not have earned a degree in the past. This program includes classroom, clinical simulation, and clinical practice as part of the curriculum. The Traditional Pathway program will be primarily offered at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora. However, Traditional students may be required to attend some classes or labs at the CU South Denver location in Lone Tree. Students interested in the Traditional Pathway option apply through NursingCAS before the application deadline. Once admitted, students begin their program the following summer semester. The pace of the Traditional Pathway facilitates the integration of learning and acknowledges that students balance a number of responsibilities while completing their nursing education. However, please note that this is a full-time program of study; many students find it difficult to work more than 10-20 hours per week.
