护理

科林的护理

A career in nursing will make a difference in your own life and the lives of others. 在火博体育官网攻读护理学位是一个很好的开始.

科林大学's Associate Degree 护理 (ADN) program prepares students for a career as a professional registered nurse in this quickly-growing field with state-of-the-art facilities and educators who have years of practical experience working in health care. 科林大学 has been recognized as a Center of Excellence in 护理 Education by the National League for 护理 (NLN) since 2011, one of only a handful of community colleges in the nation to earn that honor.

The concept-based nursing curriculum is designed for deep learning so that you develop higher-level clinical judgment. The curriculum divides nursing concepts into two categories - health care concepts and professional nursing concepts - which are learned in the classroom and then applied in practical settings like the health sciences simulation labs in the Cary A. 以色列健康科学中心, as well as in local health care facilities where students complete clinical rotations.

The nursing curriculum is approved by the Texas Board of 护理 (Texas BON) and accredited by the 护理教育认可委员会. 毕业后, 科林大学's ADN program students are ready to apply to the Texas BON for licensure as a registered nurse (RN) through the NCLEX-RN examination.

该学院还为LVNs提供了一个桥梁项目, allowing for faster degree completion to begin your career as a professional registered nurse earlier.

注意:完成 与犯罪系统有牵连的学生, are advised that your background could keep you from being licensed by the State of Texas. 如果你对你的背景和执照有疑问, 请和你的老师或系主任谈谈. You also have the right to request a criminal history evaluation letter from the applicable licensing agency.

If an individual has reason to believe he/she is ineligible for licensure, 他/她可以向德克萨斯州BON申请宣告令. 在申请护理课程后, you must show your eligibility to take the NCLEX-RN exam through outcomes letter that will be issued by the Texas BON if the declaratory order is approved. 要检查您的资格，请查看以下问题. 如果你对以下任何一个问题的回答是肯定的, you must have the declaratory order from the Texas BON completed prior to applying to the nursing program.

• 你曾被判重罪吗?
