The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) curriculum prepares individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to become a registered nurse. Courses will include content related to the nurse’s role as a provider and manager of care, as a member of the discipline of nursing, and as a part of the interdisciplinary team. Graduates of associate degree nursing programs are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), which is required to practice as a registered nurse. Our nurses are employed in hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics, and physicians’ offices, as well as industry and community agencies.
The ADN program begins in the fall.
