Nursing Program
The Nursing Program (ADN) at Moraine Valley Community College equips students for nursing vocations in hospitals and other health care services. This two-year program commences in either the fall or spring of every year and continues for a total of four successive semesters, excluding summer.
The Nursing Program carries out a rigorous curriculum of lectures, clinical and labs. Clinicals are carried out on site at a range of hospitals during the day or evening time with no flexibility in scheduling. So, holding a full-time job at the same time as in the program could affect student success and is not advised. However, general education classes are provided morning, afternoon or evening, and can be done part-time, if necessary.
