ADN Program Details

The Associate Degree Nursing Program prepares the graduate to provide and manage client care and to become members within the discipline of nursing. Intrinsic to the three roles of the nurse, provider of care, manager of care, and member of the discipline, are the eight core components of nursing practice.
The eight core components are:

Professional Behaviors
Nursing Process
Clinical Decision Making
Caring Interventions
Teaching/Learning
Collaboration
Managing Care
Communication

These core components are introduced, developed, and built upon throughout the curriculum. Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN).

The Associate Degree Nursing curriculum is organized around a clearly defined conceptual framework and combines general education and nursing education courses. The nursing education courses correlate classroom and clinical instruction in a variety of community agencies.

Progression in the Associate Degree Nursing Program is contingent upon achievement of a grade of "C" or better in each biological science, nursing and mathematics course and maintenance of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average or better (on a 4.0 scale).
Transportation to the community agencies is the responsibility of each student.
