Welcome to the Nursing programs web site at College of DuPage. Nursing is a challenging, yet rewarding career. The job outlook for the Nursing profession is excellent – the Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that by 2010 there will be about one million new jobs available for nurses at all levels.
College of DuPage offers an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree in nursing, as well as a Certified Nursing program and a Pre-Bachelor of Science in Nursing transfer program.
The Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program at College of DuPage is a sequential, two-year program that begins every fall quarter. Potential candidates must complete an application packet, which also includes information regarding the college’s nursing program and admission criteria. Upon admission, students must complete the Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA program). After successful completion of the ADN program, a student is eligible to take the NCLEX-RN licensure examination. Students who receive licensure can either begin their careers, or continue their education by applying to one of several RN-BSN completion programs offered throughout the Chicagoland area.
As an alternative, students interested in pursuing a Pre-Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree at the onset of their education can consult a faculty advisor or the Counseling and Advising office to plan coursework for transferring to a BSN program of their choice.
