Introduction
Nurses work to promote health, prevent disease and help people cope with illness. Registered nurses (RNs) provide care, treatment, counseling, and health education to individuals, families, and their communities. Most registered nurses work as part of a team with physicians and other healthcare specialists. The licensed practical nurse (LPN) provides direct nursing care, under supervision, to individuals in a variety of healthcare settings.
The Associate in Applied Science, Nursing (AAS) program consists of integrated lectures, labs, and clinicals conducted in approved clinical education affiliates. The program prepares students to demonstrate competency in providing nursing care in a variety of health care settings and for employment in the field of registered nursing. Candidates successfully completing the AAS program are eligible to apply for the licensing examination (NCLEX-RN) required for licensure as a registered professional nurse (RN).
