Nursing

Description

Nursing The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program prepares graduates to provide and manage client care and to become members within the discipline of nursing. Intrinsic to the three roles of the nurse provider of care, manager of care, and member of the discipline are the eight core components of nursing practice. The eight core components are: professional behaviors, nursing process, communication, clinical decision making, caring interventions, teaching/learning, collaboration, and managing care. These core components are introduced, developed, and built upon through the curriculum.

The ADN curriculum is organized around a clearly defined conceptual framework and combines general education and nursing courses. The nursing courses correlate classroom and clinical instruction in a variety of community agencies. (Transportation to community agencies is the responsibility of each student.)

Acceptance into the Associate Degree Nursing program is based on a selective admissions process. To be considered for admission, applicants must comply with college and program admission requirements. Qualified Licensed Practical Nurses may earn credit for the first semester of nursing courses based upon work experience and active licensure status. Selective admission occurs twice a year.

Progression in the program is contingent upon achievement of a grade of "C" or better in each biological science, nursing and mathematics course and maintenance of a 2.0 cumulative grade point average or better (on a 4.0 scale). CPR requirements must be successfully completed prior to enrolling in the first nursing course and must be kept current throughout the program. Documentation of successful completion of a minimum 75-hour nursing assistant course, or its equivalent, and documentation of computer literacy as defined by KCTCS is required prior to enrolling in the first nursing course.

Graduates are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Note: The Kentucky Board of Nursing may deny a nursing graduate admission to the NCLEX-RN Exam if an individual has been convicted of a misdemeanor or felony which involves acts that bear directly on the qualifications of the graduate to practice nursing.
