An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) is a two-year program that provides students with the foundational knowledge and hands-on clinical experience needed to become a registered nurse (RN). The program covers essential topics such as anatomy, pharmacology, patient care, and medical ethics, preparing graduates to take the NCLEX-RN exam and begin their nursing careers in a variety of healthcare settings. With a focus on both classroom instruction and practical training, the ADN offers a fast track to entering the nursing profession. This degree is ideal for those who are passionate about healthcare and eager to make a difference in patients' lives while balancing personal and professional growth. Students can continue on to our RN to BSN degree program, or take courses co-currently to get a headstart.
Degree Highlights
