Erie 2 Chautauqua Cattaraugus BOCES-Practical Nursing Program Nursing Programs in Angola, New York

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), is designed to prepare students for entry-level positions as registered nurses. The program combines classroom instruction with intensive clinical experience to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide safe and effective patient care. Students learn about anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-child nursing, mental health nursing, and public health nursing. The curriculum also emphasizes critical thinking, communication, teamwork, and ethical decision-making. A significant portion of the program is dedicated to clinical rotations in various healthcare settings, allowing students to apply their knowledge under the supervision of experienced nurses. Upon successful completion of the program, graduates are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). Passing the NCLEX-RN is required to obtain licensure as a registered nurse and practice professionally.
