Nursing Program
The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) Program at MassBay is planned to prepare students for a career in nursing as Registered Nurses RN. Successful graduates of the program earn an Associate in Science Degree and are qualified to take the National Council Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). The program usually starts in the Fall semester every year.
The ADN program is intended to meet the educational requirements of students pursuing a career in nursing that wish to attend full-time college during the day. Although the curriculum is structured to be completed in two years, students could choose to complete non-nursing courses before beginning the nursing sequence.
