Nursing Program
The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) Training program is a two (2) year training program that admits pupils two times a year in a day or customized evening/weekend section.
Despite the fact that the course of study is built to be completed in 5 semesters (2½ years), the majority of students, because of time constraints, fulfill the requirements in three to four years.
Upon completion of the training program, graduates meet the requirements to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The training program readies graduates to have the ability to provide nursing care to patients or groups of patients at home or in organizations, at the direction of a qualified physician, dentist, advanced practice nurse, optometrist or podiatrist.
