The Associate in Science (A.S.) in Nursing program is a combination of general education and professional courses including lecture, laboratory and clinical education components. Graduates of the program are prepared to function as entry-level practitioners and are qualified to take the National Council for Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) to become licensed as registered nurses (RN). Clinical rotations scheduled in area hospitals and other medical centers are part of the program, so students will graduate with experience as well as theoretical knowledge.
All students must complete the HESI A2 Admission Exam prior to applying to the Nursing Program.
Students are admitted via a point system, students receive points for their HESI A2 scores and course grades. The students with the highest point allocations are admitted each semester. Note, the point allocation changes based on the applicant pool.
