When investigating what nursing program to enter you need to consider the quality of its graduates. All nursing graduates of both ADN and BSN programs must take the same national licensing exam (NCLEX) after graduation before they can work as a Registered Nurse. The National Council of State Boards of Nursing looks at 8 quarters or 2 year averages for first time pass rates. The national average in the most recent report is 87%. By integrating the art of nursing with bio-psychosocial science courses, the A.D.N. system-wide program prepares students to take the licensing exam to become a registered nurse. After licensure, graduates will be ready for responsibilities including management, delegation of client care, and collaboration with other health care providers in the health care delivery system. In addition, students will have developed a nursing practice that values diversity and individuality. Formal training as a nursing assistant and certification in CPR must be completed to be eligible for entry into clinical nursing courses. Communication, analytical, group effectiveness, and personal management skills will aid the successful completion of this program. Nurses require physical stamina and a strong focus on personal wellness. This program is accredited by: The National League for Nursing Accreditation Commission |
