St Elizabeths College of Nursing

Nursing Programs Offered

ADN Program Details

The College offers a two-year associate in applied science (AAS) degree in nursing, fully integrating theoretical learning with clinical experiences within a caring environment. The nursing courses include direct patient care that is planned and supervised by a faculty member with expertise in a particular nursing area. One of the strengths of the program at St. Elizabeth is its clinical component that combines the theory learned in class with actual nursing practice allowing for immediate transfer and application of knowledge.

The full-time weekday program can be completed in two years. Students are scheduled for nursing and general education courses over a five-day week, with the option to take evening general education courses if desired.

Classes are typically in session from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. each day, with a 7:00 a.m. start time on clinical days. Students may be scheduled for evening clinical rotations at various times during the nursing program and may need to take evening general education courses in order to avoid conflicts with nursing clinical commitments. Every consideration is given to a student's home and work commitments when planning clinical rotations.
