The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program prepares students to become registered nurses (RNs), who have the knowledge and skills to function as a beginning-level staff nurse in a variety of structured healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, long-term agencies, physicians' offices and community agencies. Throughout the curriculum, the student has planned clinical and laboratory experiences to complement classroom learning in order to become skillful in the technology and application of nursing. Principles of oral communication are emphasized throughout the curriculum to prepare the graduate to function as a patient advocate.

Admissions Process

NETC utilizes a competitive admissions process. Students must first meet Basic Eligibility Criteria, then provide other data necessary to meet specific program accreditation standards and/or to improve the student's ability to successfully complete the program. Additional required information includes health and immunization status, CPR certification, and other information required by clinical facilities. This includes criminal background checks, drug testing and other documentation. (Conviction of a crime may make an applicant ineligible for clinical rotations or be denied licensure.) It is the student's responsibility to clear any court records. Specific criteria for admission are reviewed periodically, are published prior to each class admission cycle and available upon request to the Admissions Office. Students wishing to transfer into the ADN program must submit all official transcripts for review; admission is based on a space available basis.

Note: Requirements for the program are subject to change in order to meet the nursing licensure requirements.

Reapplying to the Program

Qualified applicants not accepted due to space limitations will remain eligible in rank order if any vacancy occurs. Students must reapply for the next class, if not admitted; applications are not carried forward and no consideration is given to applications from the previous year. Students who have two attempts (withdrawal or dismissal) in any NETC nursing program are not eligible for admission or readmission for five years. Withdrawal constitutes an attempt. Applicants who have withdrawn due to extenuating circumstances may submit a written request for consideration to the Nursing Admissions Committee, whose decision is final.

Program Length

The program requires 67 semester hours of instruction, including approximately 700 training hours in patient care experience in laboratory and clinical settings. Classes are available both day and evening (limited offerings); however, clinical  rotations may be scheduled day, evenings and/or weekends. Course work can be completed in five semesters at which time students must pass the National Council on Licensure Exam (NCLEX – RN) to become a registered nurse. Students may be required to complete prerequisite coursework for program eligibility.

Students who are not graduates of the NETC Practical Nursing program must provide additional information for admission to NUR 201. See catalog for more information.
