Brookdale Community College Nursing Program Offers AAS Degree

Brookdale Community College Opens Nursing Program Admissions and Clinical Pathways

Students entering the Brookdale Community College Nursing Program earn an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Nursing and become eligible to take the National Council Licensing Exam for Registered Nursing to become a Registered Nurse, according to official program outlines. Candidates seeking admission must meet specific institutional requirements before participating in the required combination of classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical practice.

The curriculum requires five sequential semesters to complete for students enrolled on a full-time basis. Nursing designated courses begin in the second semester, following the successful completion of prerequisite courses for NURS 111, NURS 125, and NURS 171. Most successful students report that the time commitment for the first semester of clinical nursing, which encompasses nine credits of NURS classes, runs approximately 30 to 35 hours per week.
