Registered Nursing

Are you looking for a career in Registered Nursing?

The ADN program is designed to provide nursing courses that when successfully completed awards graduates an Associate of Applied Science degree in Registered Nursing. Graduates are then eligible to apply to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Upon successful completion of the NCLEX-RN and licensure by the Georgia Board of Nursing, graduates are employable as registered nurses.

The Associate Degree Nursing program is approved by the Georgia Board of Nursing, 237 Coliseum Drive, Macon, Georgia 31217-3858, phone 478.207.1640.

NOTE: According to the position statement of the National Organization for Associate Degree Nursing (NOADN) (2006), ADN graduates are recognized as essential members of the interdisciplinary healthcare team in diverse health care settings. The ADN faculty is committed to the NOADN tenants of advocacy, professional involvement, life-long learning and leadership and to this end the College supports student participation and involvement in the learning environment. Students are admitted to the ADN program in the fall quarter each year.

Graduates may find these opportunities in a wide variety of settings, including, but not limited to acute care in hospitals and long term care facilities, outpatient clinics, physicians’ offices, home health care agencies, private or governmental industries, schools and hospice programs.

We have the faculty, the resources, the courses and the support to help you succeed. And, you may qualify for financial aid assistance.
