| The Associate Degree Nursing program prepares nurses to |
| function with the knowledge, skill and judgment of beginning |
| staff nurses in a variety of health care settings. The |
| program is accredited by the National League for Nursing |
| Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). For more information, |
| contact NLNAC at 61 Broadway 33rd Floor, New York, NY 10006, |
| or 1-800-669-1656, or on the website at www.nlnac.org |
| |
| Graduates are eligible to apply to the Wisconsin Board of |
| Nursing to take the examination for licensure as a |
| Registered Nurse. State Administrative Code rules state that |
| a graduate may have difficult obtaining a license with an |
| arrest or conviction record that is substantially related to |
| nursing practice. The Coordinator of the program is |
| available to discuss concerns in this area. |
| |
| Students may apply for testing for licensure as L.P.N. |
| (Licensed Practical Nurse) after successfully completing all |
| courses through the second semester. L.P.N.'s entering into |
| the ADN program may receive credit for past clinical |
| education based on their current knowledge, skills and |
| judgment. In order to help L.P.N.'s be program ready, they |
| will need to take the Nursing Bridge course before entering |
| third semester. Re-entry, transfer, and LPN students must |
| contact the counseling office for information about entry to |
| the nursing program. Acceptance to the program will be based |
| upon space availability and approval of the nursing faculty. |
