| 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.
Acceptance into the Associate Degree Nursing program is based on a selective admissions process. In order to be considered for admission, applicants must comply with college and program admission requirements prior to March 1 for the summer session (July 1 for the fall semester, if applicable). Placement of course content/skills in the 200 level nursing courses may vary from college to college. Progression in the Associate Degree Nursing program is contingent upon achievement of a grade of "C" or above in each biological science, nursing and mathematics course and maintenance of a 2.0 cumulative grade-point average or above (on a 4.0 scale). |
