Schools
Now offered at a variety of community colleges, private colleges, and four year universities. The scope of practice for the Associate Degree Nurse is to provide and manage care for a diverse group of individuals, families and communities in collaboration with members of the health care team, and to supervise Licensed Practical Nurses, Paramedics, EMT's, and non-licensed assistive staff working on their team. Graduates are prepared for employment in a variety of settings, extended-care facilities, acute-care hospitals, clinics, doctor’s offices, etc., and are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) and become licensed in their state as a Registered Nurse. Additionally, Most states will allow the new graduate to work as a Graduate Nurse while waiting to take their NCLEX-RN exam. Nurses with an Associate's degree can practice at a higher level than Licensed Practical Nurses, and have greater autonomy, responsibility, work opportunities, and career options. Additionally, the Associate's Degree in Nursing serves as the foundation for further nursing education programs including BSN degree programs(Bachelor in Nursing Science), taking a RN to MSN bridge program, or earning a Master's in Nursing Science degree at a later time.
