ADN Program Details

The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) is granted to those students
who successfully complete a career curriculum in Nursing. The graduate
of Level I of this Program is qualified to write the Licensure Exam
for Practical Nursing (NCLEX-PN). The Graduate of Level II of this
Program is qualified to write the Licensure Exam for Registered Nursing
(NCLEX-RN). The Program is approved by the Illinois Articulation
Initiative (IAI), and thus, courses will be accepted toward fulfillment of
specified baccalaureate degree requirements (BSN) by many colleges
and universities.

Registered Nurses (RN) provide direct care and meet complex health
needs of individuals and families in hospital and community-based
settings. The RN makes collaborative nursing assessments with other
health care professionals, acts as a health educator and client advocate,
and provides leadership by making responsible, ethical decisions. The
RN can administer medications and treatments as prescribed by a
physician, nurse practitioner, or other practitioner as defined by law.
This program is an occupational program typically not designed to
transfer, however, this program has been articulated to some senior
institutions.
