The City College Associate of Science in Nursing program is designed to give students the skills to act as first-level professional caregivers and vital members of a medical team. The 8 quarter program focuses on training students in fundamental medical procedures, but also teaches a “holistic nursing” approach, which treats the “whole” person from a mind, body and spirit perspective. Translation – students can learn to provide more compassionate treatment by considering a number of factors.
Upon graduation and successful completion of the National Council Licensure Exam (NCLEX), students can seek employment at a variety of healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, home health facilities, physician’s offices, hospices and more.
