Program of Study
The Nursing Program offers a course of study that prepares students for licensure as Registered Nurses.
The curriculum includes a strong foundation in communication, biological and social sciences, general education and nursing courses. Students integrate theory and practice throughout the Nursing Program. Application occurs in campus laboratories, simulation laboratories, classroom settings, acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, and community health care settings.

Proposed Plan of Study
Note to Students: This plan assumes that a student is college ready and has completed high school requirements with a grade of "C" or higher within the last five years. There are many students for whom this is not true, or for whom such a rigorous year of prerequisite courses may not be feasible. The program of study prepares a graduate to enter a BSN course of study immediately after completing the Associate Degree, giving the graduate the highest opportunity for employment as an RN soon after graduation. It is highly recommended that all students meet with a nursing advisor to determine a plan of study that will lead to their success.
