College of the Sequoias Nursing Programs in Visalia, California

The Registered Nursing (RN) program at College of the Sequoias, like most ADN/ASN programs, is a comprehensive two-year program designed to prepare students for a rewarding career as a Registered Nurse. The program provides a blend of classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and supervised clinical experiences. Students will learn the foundational principles of nursing, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child health, mental health nursing, and geriatrics. Emphasis is placed on developing critical thinking, clinical judgment, and communication skills necessary to provide safe and effective patient care. The clinical experiences provide hands-on learning in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, allowing students to apply their knowledge and skills under the guidance of experienced RNs and faculty. A primary goal of the RN program is to prepare graduates to pass the NCLEX-RN examination and become licensed Registered Nurses, ready to provide compassionate and competent care to individuals, families, and communities.
