Reading Hospital School of Health Sciences Nursing Programs in Reading, Pennsylvania

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, such as an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) or Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN), prepares students to become licensed registered nurses. The program provides a blend of classroom instruction, laboratory simulations, and clinical experiences to equip students with the knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary to provide direct patient care. Students learn about anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, pathophysiology, and nursing interventions across the lifespan. The program focuses on developing critical thinking, communication, and leadership skills, enabling graduates to effectively collaborate with other healthcare professionals. A key objective is preparing graduates to pass the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) and to practice safely and competently in a variety of healthcare settings. Upon graduation and successful completion of the NCLEX-RN, graduates are eligible to work as registered nurses, providing essential care and contributing to the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities.
