Nursing program
The Nursing students have chances to care for real patients in different clinical settings, and skills are also acquired in simulation labs. The enhanced use of the simulations gets students to undertake roles not available to students in a clinical setting. This allows them to make analytical choices and view the results of the critical choices they make. Ivy Tech utilizes a variety of learning tactics in the classroom and clinical settings to appeal to every learning method.
The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) program can be concluded in less than two years once welcomed into the program meaning that students can graduate earlier and begin working if they choose. The faculty cares about their students and provides personal tutoring and mentoring. Their statewide cumulative pass rates are constantly high with nursing graduates presently in high demand throughout Indiana. The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN)student graduates are eligible to apply for the NCLEX-RN licensure examination. Graduates who successfully succeed in the NCLEX-RN examination have great chances to obtain entry-level nursing positions in different health care settings, or they can and transfer to a four-year university and continue their education where they can enroll for an RN to BSN (baccalaureate degree) or RN to MSN (master’s degree) programs to get awarded a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing. ASN graduates are trained and competent to work in in hospitals, home health care, nursing and residential care facilities, schools and health departments and physician offices.
