The A.S.N. Program (66 total credit hours = 28 credit hours of general education +
38 credit hours of Nursing Courses) is a structured program for those interested in
working in the healthcare field. Once your license is obtained, graduates from the
RN program work in area hospitals, public schools, clinics, surgery centers, home
health, hospice, as well as long-term care and rehab centers. Some graduates have
even worked from home as case managers for insurance companies.

a "C" or better to progress. The admission process to the Registered Nursing Program

- Priority is given to those applicants with greater than 16 hours of nursing curriculum.
- Candidates will be conditionally accepted pending completion of a clear criminal background
check and drug screening.
