The Nursing program encompasses two professional levels of nursing: Practical Nursing and Associate Degree Nursing. The college also has an NA (Nursing Assistant) program (see Allied Health). Graduates, upon successful completion of the licensing examination, may practice at the designated level.
The Practical Nurse is able to recognize and meet the basic needs of the client while providing nursing care under the direction and supervision of a registered nurse or licensed physician in routine nursing situations. Students who complete the first year courses and additional coursework in the summer quarter are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Practical Nursing. If successful, they are licensed as practical nurses (LPN).
The Associate Degree Nurse (ADN) utilizes the nursing process to provide and/or supervise client care while maintaining responsibility and accountability for the quality of nursing care provided in complex and varied situations. Graduates who complete the ADN program are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for Registered Nursing. If successful, they are licensed as Registered Nurses (RN).
