The Associate of Science in Nursing curriculum is a two-year program designed to prepare graduates to function in a variety of health care settings with client populations of all ages and diverse cultural backgrounds. General education courses are taught by faculty from Queens University of Charlotte and provide a knowledge base foundational to entry level nursing. Nursing courses are taught by the School of Nursing faculty, who are academically qualified and experienced in the practice of nursing. Clinical experiences are planned to coincide with classroom theory.
Personal and professional development are also important aspects of the educational process. Students have the opportunity to participate in School of Nursing committees and student organizations. Students also participate in professional and volunteer activities in the community and in national and international activities.
Students who successfully complete all courses in the nursing curriculum earn an Associate of Science in Nursing and are eligible to take the National Council Licensing Examination, RN (NCLEX-RN) and to seek licensure as a registered nurse. Graduates are encouraged to continue their education through earning the BSN degree.
