Professional Nursing

Instructional Program (CIP)

Description

Course Objective:

Description: The Professional Nursing program is based upon current nursing
practice, including nursing and general education courses. Classroom
theory, challenging assignments, skill labs, and clinical experiences
prepare students for an entry-level RN position. Students graduating
from the Professional Nursing program will receive an Associate degree
in nursing and will be eligible to apply for The National Council Licensure
Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) examination to become
licensed as a Registered Nurse. The Professional Nursing program has
two options. The generic option is for individuals without existing nursing
licenses. The advanced placement option (also known as the LPN to
RN bridge option) is for individuals holding a current, unencumbered
practical nursing license. Students requesting advanced placement in
the Professional Nursing program are required to provide Jersey College
with an official transcript from their Practical Nursing education to obtain
credit for prior learning.

Competencies to be achieved: Associate of Science in Nursing
