Rasmussen University-Minnesota Nursing Programs in Saint Cloud, Minnesota

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), provides students with the foundational knowledge, skills, and clinical experiences necessary to become competent and compassionate registered nurses. The curriculum is designed to integrate theoretical concepts with practical application, allowing students to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities essential for providing safe and effective patient care. Through coursework, lab simulations, and clinical rotations, students learn to assess patients’ health status, develop nursing care plans, administer medications, perform nursing procedures, and educate patients and families on health-related topics. The program emphasizes ethical and legal considerations in nursing practice, as well as the importance of teamwork and communication within interdisciplinary healthcare teams. A primary goal of the RN program is to prepare graduates to successfully pass the NCLEX-RN examination and enter the nursing profession as entry-level registered nurses, ready to contribute to the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
