Community College of Baltimore County Nursing Programs in Rosedale, Maryland

An Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) program, also often referred to as an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to become competent entry-level Registered Nurses (RNs). Typically a two-year program, the curriculum integrates theoretical coursework with hands-on clinical experience. The program’s primary goal is to prepare graduates to deliver safe, effective, and patient-centered care across a variety of healthcare settings. Students learn fundamental nursing concepts, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, and pathophysiology. Clinical rotations offer opportunities to apply learned skills in real-world scenarios, working under the supervision of experienced nurses and healthcare professionals. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN), the standardized test required for licensure as a Registered Nurse. The program emphasizes critical thinking, communication, and collaboration, equipping graduates to effectively address the complex healthcare needs of diverse patient populations and contribute to a positive healthcare environment.
