I am not involved in the AECP program, but to perform a general search for 2 year nursing programs, you can search the internet. In the Denvr metro area almost all of the community colleges offer an associates of science in nursing. Hope this helps.
Getting your CCM would be helpful. Certified Case Manager.Look up ccmc on line. Also the Case Management Society of America has many chapters and probably one on a city nrea you. It's a good place to network with casemanagers and find out about open positions and qualifications. I have worked as a Case Manager for about 15 years and I see nurses hired directly from clinical positions all of the time.
