The Nursing Program leads to an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree for eligible students who successfully complete the five semesters of study. Women and men are prepared to become registered nurses upon successful completion of the course of study and satisfactory performance on the National Council Licensure Examination-Registered Nurse (NCLEX-RN). The framework for the nurse education program embodies basic needs, the nursing process, and the Associate Degree Nurse (A.D.N.) competencies. Students utilize the nursing process in the care of patients in acute general care hospitals and nursing homes. In addition to hospitals, students work with young healthy children in the Hostos Day Care Center. Teaching/learning environments also include lecture halls, and the patient simulated laboratory where students practice and achieve proficiency in their technical skills to prepare them for patient assignments. Students learn to provide nursing care for patients of all ages in a variety of settings, always under the direct guidance of qualified professional nurse instructors. All students are encouraged to join the National Student Nurses Association of New York and the on-campus Gonzalez-Tubman Nursing Club. Some scholarships are available to nursing students. |
