Nursing - (AS) - Concorde Career Colleges
This Concorde Career Colleges program provides students with the latest training leading to an Associate in Science degree in Nursing. It also prepares students to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Graduates who pass the NCLEX-RN can enter the healthcare workforce as confident, professional, entry-level registered nurses.
The RN is highly skilled and is prepared to function in the roles of provider of care, manager of care, and contributing member of a healthcare team. While at the bedside, the RN is accountable for decisions that impact the healthcare outcomes for the patient. The scope of the RN's practice is defined in individual state statutes.
Applicants who meet all other admission criteria and possess a current, unencumbered license to practice as an LPN may be given academic credit for selected nursing courses.
Students in this program are enrolled in general education courses, nursing theory courses, and clinical practice. The nursing courses begin with Foundations courses that introduce students to the practice of nursing, nursing theories, legal and ethical issues in nursing, and basic concepts of patient care. Students then advance through nursing courses that include more complex concepts in patient care and specialty nursing areas such as mental health, maternal-child nursing, and care of pediatric patients.
