The Associate Degree Nursing Program - Registered Nursing is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). The program is comprised of 37 units of Nursing Theory and Clinical Experience plus 36-40 units of science and general education courses. Clinical experience is concurrently provided in hospitals and other health care facilities in the community. Theory and clinical experience are supported by time spent in the Health Sciences Nursing Resources Lab which provides opportunities for supervised learning and skills practice utilizing simulation mannequins, healthcare equipment and supplies, videos, DVD’s, computerized instruction and other tools.
The program is designed to prepare graduates to function as Registered Nurses in an entry level position. Most students admitted to the Associate Degree Nursing program have completed all course work except the nursing courses prior to admission. Use the “BRN Approved Program Pre-requisites” form, listed in the menu to the right, to access the list of pre-requisites and co-requisites to see what courses must be completed prior to applying to the RN program and which courses can be taken while waiting to get into the program or during completion of the RN program.
