Arkansas Rural Nursing Education Consortium (arnec)

Nursing Programs Offered

ADN Program Details

Classes begin in January and students graduate in December. ARNEC combines classroom instruction with clinical experiences to educate students on the roles, knowledge base, and responsibilities of Registered Nurses. Nursing lectures are delivered by real-time interactive television (ITV) two afternoons/evenings per week, tests and coursework are delivered over the Internet, and most clinicals are scheduled for weekends.

This program meets the requirements of the Arkansas State Board of Nursing. Due to the strenuous nature of the nursing curriculum, the admitting institution reserves the right to determine eligibility of any student to enroll or continue in the nursing program. Eligibility is determined by the faculty’s evaluation of the student’s required general education curriculum GPA, and the score on the pre-entrance exam.
