Nursing - Northeastern Technical College

Nursing from Northeastern Technical College is a Campus Associate Registered Nurse degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. The Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program assists the student in developing the intellectual and technical competencies necessary to function as a safe practitioner of nursing at the technical level. The ADN has the knowledge and skills to function as a beginning-level staff nurse in a variety of structured healthcare settings such as hospitals, clinics, long-term agencies, physicians? offices, and community agencies. Throughout the curriculum, the student has planned clinical and laboratory experiences to complement classroom learning in order to become skillful in the technology and application of nursing. Principles of oral communication are emphasized throughout the curriculum to prepare the graduate to function as a patient advocate, and in health prevention and promotion. There is also a focus on computer use and application in identified nursing courses. NETC utilizes a competitive admissions process. Students must first meet Basic Eligibility Criteria, then provide other data necessary to meet specific program accreditation standards and/or to improve the student?s ability to successfully complete the program. Additional required information includes health and immunization status, CPR certification, and other information required by clinical facilities. This includes criminal background checks, drug testing and other documentation. Specific criteria for admission are reviewed periodically, are published prior to each class admission cycle and available upon request to the Admissions Office or at www.netc.edu. Students wishing to transfer into the ADN program must submit all official transcripts for review; admission is based on a space available basis. Qualified applicants not accepted due to space limitations will remain eligible in rank order if any vacancy occurs. Students must reapply for the next class, if not admitted; applications are not carried forward and no consideration is given to applications from the previous year. Students who have two attempts (withdrawal or dismissal) in any NETC nursing program are not eligible for admission or readmission for 5 years. Withdrawal constitutes an attempt. Applicants who have withdrawn due to extenuating circumstances may submit a written request for consideration to the Nursing Admissions Committee, whose decision is final. Conviction of a crime may make an applicant ineligible for clinical rotations or be denied licensure. It is the student?s responsibility to clear any court records. Requirements for the program are subject to change in order to meet the nursing licensure requirements. View more details on Northeastern Technical College .
