Nursing - SUNY College of Technology at Alfred

Nursing from SUNY College of Technology at Alfred is a Campus Associate Registered Nurse degree that prepares you for a Nursing career. The nursing program prepares individuals to become registered professional nurses. Courses are sequential and progress from simple to more complex situations with specialized content in obstetrics, psychiatric, and pediatric nursing integrated throughout. Learning is enhanced through the use of skill practice for a "hands-on" approach to gain expertise. Clinical experience, an essential part of each nursing course, further enables students to gain technical competence to apply theoretical knowledge with practice. During the first year, there is one seven-hour clinical lab a week; during the second year, there are two seven-hour labs weekly.Transportation to selected clinical sites will be provided/available. A computer with Internet access and Microsoft Word is required for the nursing program. In addition, an I-Pod Touch without a phone or camera (or with camera disabled) is required. The nursing program is designed to be completed in two academic years, but may be revised to meet individual needs. Licensed practical nurses or transfer students from other nursing programs may be eligible for advanced placement. Students must earn a "C" in Nursing I & II and Anatomy & Physiology I & II and a "C+" in Nursing III & IV to progress in the nursing program. Competency in medication clinical computation is required and is tested as part of the Nursing II and III courses. Further, specific policies related to progression in and readmission to the nursing program are publicized to enrolled nursing students in the Nursing Policies and Procedures Handbook. The Nursing Policies and Procedures Handbook is distributed to nursing students each year as part of the syllabus in the four major nursing courses. The determination of a student's physical ability to complete the nursing program is based on an individualized assessment that relies on current medical evidence or on the best available objective evidence. If a student's physical ability compromises or threatens the health or safety of others, he/she is not "qualified" and therefore may be denied enrollment or continuation in the program. In addition to meeting the College health requirements, nursing students are required to provide documentation of an annual PPD and a self-report health assessment. Hepatitis B vaccine or declination of vaccine is also required by affiliating agencies. A policy regarding chemical impairment is publicized to enrolled nursing students.
