Nursing is a collaborative and/or independent process in which the nurse interacts with individuals applying documented, scientific knowledge through the use of the nursing process. Nursing courses provide sequential nursing knowledge, experience and skills for the safe practice of nursing. Ethical and legal accountability are stressed. The program can be completed in five (5) semesters for a total of 72 semester hours. Nursing courses must be taken in sequence as offered. General education courses may be completed early, or otherwise must be taken as sequenced in the curriculum. The Associate of Applied Science Degree is awarded by Calhoun Community College to the student who completes all requirements of the nursing program. The graduate will be eligible to apply to write the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Completion of the academic program in nursing in no way assures the student of licensure. Legal requirements for licensure may be found in the Alabama Board of Nursing Administrative Code. Applicants who have been found guilty of any offenses listed in the Code may be denied licensure by the Alabama Board of Nursing and any other state board of nursing. The Alabama Board of Nursing, as well as other state boards of nursing, has the power to deny eligibility for licensure to any candidate who is guilty of fraud or deceit in attempting to procure a licensure; has been convicted of a felony; is guilty of a crime involving moral turpitude or gross immorality that would tend to bring reproach upon the nursing profession; is unfit or incompetent due to the use of alcohol, or is addicted to the use of habit forming drugs to such an extent as to render him or her unsafe or unreliable as a licensee; has been convicted of any violation of a federal or state law relating to controlled substances; is mentally incompetent; is guilty of unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud or injure the public in matters pertaining to health or has willfully or repeatedly violated any of the provisions of this article as defined by board rules and regulations.
