The Connecticut Community Colleges Nursing Program (CT-CCNP) is an
innovative associate degree nursing program offered at five
Connecticut Community Colleges. The nursing program is a four
semester program designed to prepare registered nurses to function
in the professional role utilizing current standards of nursing
practice. The curriculum is built upon courses from the social and
biological sciences, liberal arts, and nursing. These courses
provide the foundation for the practice of nursing. Six core
values - critical thinking, safe and competent practice, caring,
professionalism, communication, and holistic care – provide the
framework for organizing the nursing curriculum
.
A
graduate of the nursing program is awarded an Associate in Science
degree and is eligible to take the National Council Licensing
Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Graduates can apply
for licensure through the Connecticut State Board of Examiners for
Nursing. The graduate is prepared to function as an entry-level
practitioner in health care settings such as: general or specialty
hospitals, extended care facilities, doctors' offices, and clinics.
All five campuses are approved by the Connecticut State Board of
Examiners for Nursing with the consent of the Commissioner of the
Connecticut Department of Public Health and accredited by the
National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. Created April 1, 2001; updated: 06/22/2009 Web Administrator Copyright © 2001 Three Rivers Community College All rights reserved |
