About
The Associate of Science in Nursing (ASDN) is designed to provide the student with basic nursing knowledge and skills to successfully assess, plan, and implement the care of patients. Graduates of this program enter a challenging and exciting filed with a variety of employment opportunities, such as acute, emergency, critical, home health, and maternal and infant care.
Because of the common body of knowledge between the Practical Nursing program and the Registered Nursing program, it is possible for accepted Licensed Practical Nurses to complete the LPN-to-RN Bridge: Traditional Full-Time component in approximately three semesters. Completion of this component qualifies the student to take the national licensing exam to become a registered nurse.
