CURRICULUM

The nursing curricula include nursing and non-nursing courses that help develop well-rounded, competent nurses.  Coursework includes classroom, laboratory, and clinical experiences.  The PN clinical experiences include supervised client care experiences that occur in hospitals and long-term care facilities. The ADN clinical experiences include critical care, emergency care, drug and alcohol treatment, rural hospital nursing preceptors, school nursing and obstetrical care.

The nursing program is comprised of semester hours. Sixteen (16) contact hours equals one (1) semester credit hour. The theory-hour ratio is 1:1. The clinical/lab contact hours-to-credit hour ratio is 3:1. For example, one credit hour of theory will generate 16 contact hours, and one credit hour of clinical/lab will generate 48 contact hours.
