Community colleges offer a variety of nursing programs to suit different career goals:
Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN): This two-year program prepares students to become Registered Nurses (RNs). Graduates are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN exam. Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN): This program typically takes about one year to complete and prepares students for entry-level nursing positions. Bridge Programs: These programs help LPNs become RNs or allow RNs to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN).
