The Registered Nursing (RN) program at Salem Community College, like most ADN or ASN programs, is designed to provide students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment necessary to become competent and compassionate registered nurses. The program typically involves a blend of classroom instruction, laboratory simulations, and hands-on clinical experiences. Coursework generally covers a wide range of topics including basic sciences, nursing theory, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child health, mental health nursing, and community health nursing. Students learn to assess patients, develop care plans, administer medications, perform procedures, and educate patients and families. A significant emphasis is placed on patient safety, ethical practice, and effective communication. The ultimate goal of the program is to prepare graduates to pass the NCLEX-RN examination and to provide safe, effective, and patient-centered care as entry-level registered nurses in various healthcare settings.
