Associate Degree Nursing

Health and Education

The purpose of the Associate Degree Nursing Program is to provide high-quality education to individuals in the community seeking a career as a registered nurse and to promote the transition of the licensed practical nurse into the role of the registered nurse. Graduates of the program are eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become a registered nurse.

Employment opportunities are vast within the global health care system and may include positions within acute, chronic, extended, industrial and community health care facilities.

Notice: the ADN program will be offering an evening option beginning this fall. The evening ADN option will be offered for admission once per year. For more information, please contact the College Navigators.

I pretty much have my dream job – I love working with kids. As a pediatric nurse practitioner, it is so rewarding to help kids go from sick to well.
