NHTI-Concord’s Community College Nursing Programs in Concord, New Hampshire

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience necessary to become licensed registered nurses. This rigorous program typically spans two years and combines classroom instruction, laboratory practice, and clinical rotations. The curriculum focuses on foundational nursing concepts, including anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, mental health nursing, and maternal-child nursing. Students learn how to assess patients, develop care plans, administer medications, perform treatments, and educate patients and families. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical experience, where students work alongside experienced nurses in various healthcare settings to apply their knowledge and develop their clinical skills. The ultimate goal of the RN program is to prepare graduates to pass the NCLEX-RN licensure examination and to practice as safe, competent, and compassionate registered nurses, contributing to the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
