Associate Degree Nursing (ADN)

The noble pursuit of nursing is both an art and science. It is a unique profession that takes into consideration both the patient's clinical needs as well as views of the patient as a holistic being (bio-psycho-social-spiritual). Nurses are often at the front lines working closely with other members of the health care team to encourage patients to participate in their care.

Program Information

Nursing students receive educational preparedness in the following nursing program* areas:

  • Anatomy and Physiology
  • Fundamentals of Nursing
  • Nutrition
  • Nursing Pharmacology
  • Care of Adults
  • Microbiology
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Maternal and Child Nursing
  • Mental Health Nursing
  • Therapeutic Communications
  • Nursing Leadership and Management

Students also augment their program of study with general education courses that complement and enhance the nursing courses. Students have the opportunity to practice required clinical skills in our modern Nursing Skills Lab and the sciences in our Nursing Science Lab.

Graduates of this program receive an Associate of Applied Science in Nursing (AAS Nursing) degree.

What are the Career Opportunities?

The nursing job and career prospects for registered nurses are excellent (and will be for years) due to a projected critical shortage of RNs. Government statistics indicate hiring should increase by almost 25 percent in the next 10 years.**

Graduates of this program may find career opportunities in the following areas:

  • Hospitals and Medical Centers
  • School settings
  • Surgery Centers
  • Physician Offices
  • Nursing Home Facilities
  • Rehabilitation Clinics
  • Urgent Care Centers

After completing the program, nursing students will be prepared to take the NCLEX-RN® (The National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses) licensing examination. After passing this examination, the individual may use the title of registered nurse.
