Lander University Nursing Programs in Greenwood, South Carolina

A Registered Nursing (RN) program, often offered 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 core curriculum covers a broad range of nursing topics, including patient assessment, medication administration, disease management, and health promotion. Students learn to provide direct patient care, collaborate with other healthcare professionals, and advocate for their patients’ needs. A major goal of the program is to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills, and clinical judgment necessary to pass the NCLEX-RN examination, the national licensure exam for registered nurses. Upon successful completion of the program and passing the NCLEX-RN, graduates are eligible to apply for licensure as registered nurses and begin their careers in a variety of healthcare settings, providing essential care and contributing to the well-being of individuals and communities.
