Upon graduation, students are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX), paving the way for licensure as a Registered Nurse (RN). The program holds prestigious accreditation and approval, ensuring high educational standards. A unique feature is the pathway offered to Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), allowing them to leverage their prior learning and complete the program in an accelerated timeframe. Admission to the clinical component is competitive, and factors such as residency within the college’s service region and academic performance are considered.
