| The Associate Degree Nursing
Program prepares graduates to provide and manage client care and to
become members within the discipline of Nursing. Graduates are eligible
to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered
Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The Associate Degree Nursing curriculum is
organized around a clearly defined conceptual framework which combines
general education and nursing education. The nursing education courses
correlate classroom and clinical instruction in a variety of community
agencies.
The Associate Degree Nursing Program is a vigorous and intensive program of study. Any student wishing to be successful in the program must be prepared to invest approximately twenty (20) hours per week on campus and in a clinical facility. In addition to those hours, the student must be prepared to read and study 3-4 hours per day outside of class. This program demands an extensive time commitment. But it’s worth the effort! Application Procedure Acceptance into the Associate Degree Nursing Program is based on a selective admissions process. Attendance at a pre-admission conference is mandatory. Conference dates will be posted in the Nursing Department. In order to be considered for admission, the following documents must be submitted prior to March 1 of the desired year of admission: College Admissions Office
Nursing Office
Selective Admission Students are admitted to the Hopkinsville Community College Associate Degree Nursing Program on a selective basis. Due to limited clinical facilities and resources, not all persons who apply to the nursing program are admitted. Each applicant will be evaluated using a formula that combines the students’ cumulative GPA percentage and the ACT percentage. LPN’s will be awarded three additional points to their total point score. Students earning a "B" or better in MA 109 will be awarded one additional point to their total point score.
