Description
The Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree qualifies the graduate to sit for the National Council Licensing Examination (NCLEX) in Nursing at the Registered Nurse (RN) level. When the graduate successfully passes the examination, the nursing graduate will be licensed as a Registered Nurse by the State Board of Nursing. RNs are employed in a variety of settings, including hospitals, clinics, surgical centers, insurance companies, rehabilitation facilities, resorts, cruise ships, nursing homes, the military, and community and public health agencies. There are no electives in the program. Admission to the program is contingent upon completion, at the appropriate level of performance, of prerequisite courses and a pre-entrance examination, as well as appropriate math placement. Many graduates continue their studies to attain a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) credentials, with some achieving licensure as Nurse Practitioners (NP) upon completion of the MSN.
