Kiamichi Technology Center-McAlester Nursing Programs in McAlester, Oklahoma

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, often offered as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), provides students with the knowledge, skills, and clinical experience necessary to become licensed registered nurses. The curriculum typically encompasses a wide range of nursing topics, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-newborn nursing, pediatric nursing, mental health nursing, and community health nursing. A significant portion of the program involves hands-on clinical practice, where students gain experience in providing direct patient care under the supervision of experienced nurses. These clinical rotations usually take place in various healthcare settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. The ultimate goal of an RN program is to prepare graduates to pass the NCLEX-RN examination, obtain licensure, and provide safe, effective, and compassionate care to patients across the lifespan.
