Introduction
The Associate Degree Nursing Program provides students with educational opportunities for personal and intellectual development and a career to help meet the community's health care needs.
MCC's program prepares graduates for beginning staff-level positions as registered nurses.
A graduate receives an Associate of Applied Science degree and is eligible to apply for the National Council Licensure Examination for licensure as a registered nurse.
The program includes a balance of general education and nursing courses and planned experiences in inpatient care. Students learn basic nursing techniques in the college laboratory and care for patients in affiliated hospitals and other clinical agencies.
Besides regular college tuition and fees, students will have additional expenses for clinical apparel, standardized tests, background checks, drug screening, organizational dues, books, and insurance. A detailed cost sheet is available from the program coordinator. Students are responsible for their own transportation between the college and clinical agencies.
A variety of career options are available for Registered Nurses, including but not limited to acute care facilities, long-term care facilities, home health care, hospice care, clinics, schools, and travel nursing agencies.
