Registered Nursing Associate Degree

Where To Go From Here

This program prepares students for employment opportunities as nurses. It is designed to provide the credits necessary for eligibility to take the nursing licensure examination, and transferability for a bachelor’s degree in nursing.

Why This Degree

Students who earn an associate of applied science degree will be prepared for national licensure as a registered nurse. Job opportunities in this field offer great variety, as they treat patients, educate patients and the public about medical conditions, and provide emotional support to patients and family members. This degree provides the foundation for continued study at the bachelor-degree level including BSN programs at various universities in Michigan. Most RN’s, earning $64,270 to $100,920 per year, advance to head nurses or into management positions such as assistant unit manager.

Criminal Background Check

A criminal background check will be required as part of the nursing program admission process. If a student steps out of the program and needs to re-enter an additional criminal background check will be required. When students complete the nursing program they are eligible to apply to take the national nursing licensure exam. At the time of application the Michigan Department of Licensing will require a criminal background check with fingerprinting. If a student is deemed not eligible to sit for the national licensure exam Montcalm Community College will not be responsible.
