Associate degree education in nursing prepares the graduate to assume the role of a registered nurse at an entry-level position. Associate degree nurses are skilled in technical aspects of nursing care and are well qualified to give direct patient care within organized nursing services. Associate degree nurses use critical thinking skills in applying the nursing process as the problem-solving approach to providing nursing care. Through the integration of principles from nursing and other sciences and liberal arts, the associate degree nurse is prepared to provide competent care for patients with common health problems and to function in the roles of provider of care, manager of patient care, and member of the nursing profession.
The curriculum is subject to revision based on the desired competencies for the nursing graduate that will be demanded by the health care industry.
Licensed practical nurses who have been admitted to the Associate Degree Nursing program may earn credit by examination for ANUR-101 Nursing I and ANUR-285 Pharmacology. Further information may be obtained by contacting the School of Nursing.
