Program Information
Students in the nursing program progress through a curriculum based on nursing concepts and skills that enable the nurse to adapt in a changing society. Opportunities for student learning are diverse and enriched by exposure to various clinical agencies throughout Northeast Ohio. Students also have the opportunity to care for individuals of all ages in medical, surgical, pediatric, obstetric and geriatric settings.
Students who successfully complete the two prerequisite nursing courses are eligible to sit for the ODH CNA (Ohio Department of Health Certified Nursing Aide) exam and enter nursing program after meeting all admission requirements.
Students who complete the first year of the program will be awarded a certificate of proficiency in practical nursing and become eligible to sit for the NCLEX-PN.
Students who complete the second year of the Nursing program will earn an Associate of Applied Science degree and become eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN. The program prepares graduates to be able to provide nursing care to patients or groups of patients at home or in institutions, at the direction of a licensed physician, advanced practice nurse, dentist, optometrist or podiatrist.
All students are admitted using common-admission criteria. Applicants are reviewed on a continual basis throughout the year. Students meeting all required criteria can be placed. New students are placed and begin the program in the Fall and Spring semesters yearly. Information for placement in the ADN program is sent out via 911爆料网 email. Placement in all programs is on a first-come, first-served basis. View nursing admission requirements for the program of your choice.
