Description:
This major is undergoing review. Please consult a counselor or program coordinator for more information. Additional information is available on the ADN web page at adn.santarosa.edu.
The Vocational Nursing to Nursing (ADN) major has been approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, and prepares the student for entry into the practice of professional registered nursing. Students receive clinical experiences in a variety of clinical facilities and community agencies throughout Sonoma County.
This program has been designed to provide an opportunity for the Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN) to complete the requirements for an Associate of Science Degree in Nursing (ADN) and be eligible to take the NCLEX-RN, the professional licensing examination to become a registered nurse, in less time than required to complete the generic ADN program.
It is strongly advised that all applicants attend a Counseling Pre-nursing Information Meeting and consult with a health sciences counselor prior to beginning the program prerequisites.
Licensure Note: The California Board of Registered Nursing may deny licensure to anyone who has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor. It is the responsibility of the student to present sufficient evidence of rehabilitation prior to licensure. Contact the Health Sciences Department for more information.
Upon successful completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Be prepared to practice safe and competent professional nursing care to patients of all ages in a variety of settings;
- have acquired sufficient knowledge to pass the NCLEX-RN examination for licensure as a registered nurse;
- demonstrate caring, cultural sensitivity, and acceptance of ethnic, race, religious, gender, age, and lifestyle differences in their professional nursing practice;
- promote behaviors that lead to high level wellness;
- be self directed, responsible, resourceful, and resilient professional nurses; and
- be prepared to transfer to higher level nursing education.

It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:
CHEM 60 and BIO 10 are prerequisites to the Anatomy, Physiology, and Microbiology courses. Prerequisite science courses without an on campus laboratory component will not be accepted.Because basic algebra is recommended for chemistry, students without basic algebra skills are advised to take Elementary Algebra.
Food & Nutrition and Psychology courses must be completed by the end of the first semester of the Nursing program.
Beginning with the class of Fall 2009, only college transferable reading and composition courses (English 1A or equivalent) will be accepted to fulfill the English prerequisite requirement. English 100 and English 100 ESL will no longer be accepted. This change is effective for students who apply Fall 2008 for the Fall 2009 ADN program.
The department recommends that students meet the math competency requirement for the Associate Degree prior to entering the program.
All courses taken in conjunction with this program must be completed with a grade of 'C' or better. (A C minus in prerequisite courses will not be accepted if the C minus is less than 70%.)
