Delaware County Technical School-Practical Nursing Program Nursing Programs in Broomall, Pennsylvania

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 practice as registered nurses. The program typically spans two years and combines classroom instruction with hands-on clinical experience. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including anatomy and physiology, pharmacology, medical-surgical nursing, maternal-newborn care, pediatrics, mental health nursing, and community health nursing. Students learn how to assess patient needs, develop and implement care plans, administer medications, and educate patients and families. A key focus is on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills to make sound clinical judgments. Clinical rotations provide students with opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills in real-world healthcare settings, working under the supervision of experienced nurses. The ultimate goal of the program is to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to pass the NCLEX-RN examination and provide safe, compassionate, and effective patient care as registered nurses.
