Nursing Program

The Associate Degree Registered Nursing Programs at Grossmont College prepare individuals for national licensure to practice professional nursing in critical, acute, chronic, ambulatory, and home health care settings. For students without previous nursing education, the nursing courses cover four semesters plus the prerequisite science courses. Nursing science didactic is coordinated with laboratory experience in local hospitals and health agencies under the guidance of nursing faculty members. In addition to the nursing courses, the major requires selected general education courses from the natural, behavioral, and social sciences.

 

This program by far has been one of the best experiences in my life. Every instructor I have had is amazing and dedicated to helping their students succeed. Now that I am at the end of this program, I can see why Grossmont School of Nursing has such high success rates. I feel this program has given me everything I need to take the next step in my nursing career.” –June 2023 graduate
