The Victoria College Associate Degree Nursing Program is designed to prepare the student upon graduation to function safely and effectively in the roles of provider of care, coordinator of care, and member of the discipline of nursing. The curriculum includes offerings in nursing, humanities, and the biological, social, and physical sciences. Clinical experience in a variety of health care facilities is planned to meet the curriculum learning objectives. The nursing curriculum has recently been altered to reflect the significant changes taking place in the health care delivery system today and those anticipated for the future. Classroom activities for students require significant preparation prior to class.
Faculty members provide guidance and support to the students throughout the course of the program.
The new curriculum has been designed to provide maximum career mobility options for students. At the end of the first semester students will have an opportunity to take the exam to become a certified nurse aide. After successfully completing the first two semesters of the ADN Program students may apply for the VN Option in the summer. This is an option that is available, but it is not a required part of the ADN Program. Admission to the program will take place twice a year, in the fall and in the spring semesters.
