副学士护理学

The Nursing program provides an integrated nursing curriculum that assists students in acquiring the knowledge, 技能, and experience necessary to function as beginning practitioners of nursing.  The curriculum includes classroom, 技能 lab, simulation lab, and clinical courses. Students must satisfactorily complete all the nursing courses in each semester concurrently in order to progress to the next semester of the program, 所有的学期都必须按顺序上.

Upon completion of the program of study, the student will have earned an 护理学应用科学副学士学位. Graduates of the program may then apply to the Board of Nursing to take the licensure exam to become a Registered Nurse. 有资格参加执照考试, students must meet eligibility requirements stipulated by the 德州护理委员会.  Applicants who have reason to believe they may be ineligible to take the licensing exam due to criminal background issues may petition the BON for a declaratory order. 这应该在进入护理课程之前完成, since these eligibility issues also prevent the student from enrolling in the clinical courses. Information about eligibility is available in the RN Information Packet and on the website for the 德州护理委员会.
