The program prepares individuals to take the National Council Licensing Exam for Registered Nurse. Entry into the nursing program requires prior admission. Advanced placement for licensed practical nurses or for those with prior nursing education is available (certain requirements must be met). For admission procedures to the nursing program, contact the Nursing Department. Since nursing is both an art and a science, a student learns therapeutic communication and critical thinking skills, as well as technical nursing skills. Collaborative teaching/learning takes place in classroom, learning laboratory, and clinical settings such as hospitals, long-term care, assistive living and rehabilitation facilities, clinics, and community settings and agencies. The program is based on the ladder concept that permits students to enter or exit from the program based on their specific needs, space availability, and time limitations.
