The Associate Degree Nursing program is a curriculum comprised of classroom, laboratory, and clinical learning experiences. The course of study is comprised of 70 or 71 semester credit hours and is designed to prepare the graduate as a beginning generalist practitioner, functioning as a provider of care, coordinator of care, and as a member of the profession. Registered nurses prepared at the associate degree level possess a high degree of technical nursing skills and apply scientific principles to all nursing care. Graduates of an associate degree nursing program may continue their education at a four-year university to earn a bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.

CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING TO INELIGIBILITY FOR STATE LICENSURE

The Board of Nurse Examiners has identified certain circumstances that may render a potential candidate ineligible for licensure as a registered nurse in the State of Texas. The board provides individuals the opportunity to petition the board for a Declaratory Order as to their eligibility in accordance with Section 301.257 of the Nursing Practice Act.

Applicants are required to take the TEAS entrance exam.

Individuals interested in applying for the programs should contact either Karen Long, department secretary, at (817) 594-5471, ext. 259, or Cheryl Livengood extension 309 for further information. Thank you.
